Collection: Overactive Thyroid
What is an Overactive Thyroid (Hyperthyroidism)?
An overactive thyroid, also known as hyperthyroidism, occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, leading to a faster metabolism and various health complications. This condition is often caused by Graves' disease (an autoimmune disorder), thyroid nodules, excessive iodine intake, or inflammation of the thyroid (thyroiditis).
Symptoms of an Overactive Thyroid
- Unexplained weight loss despite normal or increased appetite
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
- Nervousness, anxiety, or irritability
- Trembling hands or fingers
- Increased sweating and heat intolerance
- Frequent bowel movements or diarrhea
- Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
- Muscle weakness and fatigue
- Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
- Thinning hair or brittle nails
Managing hyperthyroidism naturally involves balancing thyroid hormone production, supporting the immune system, and reducing inflammation to help regulate metabolism and overall thyroid health.
Natural Support for an Overactive Thyroid
To help stabilize thyroid function, support hormonal balance, and reduce inflammation, our practitioners recommend:
- CH36 OverTHYROID Tincture – A specialized herbal formula designed to regulate thyroid hormone production, reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism, and support overall thyroid function.
- CH188 ThyroCare Drops – Supports thyroid balance, reduces inflammation, and promotes a healthy metabolic rate.
- P01 Oxygen Drops Liquid – Helps improve oxygen circulation, reduce oxidative stress, and support cellular healing in the thyroid gland.
Natural Ways to Support Thyroid Health & Regulate Hormones
- Use Herbal Support – OverTHYROID Tincture and ThyroCare Drops help stabilize thyroid activity and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
- Eat a Thyroid-Balancing Diet – Reduce intake of iodine-rich foods (like seaweed and iodized salt) and include thyroid-calming foods like cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) to help regulate hormone levels.
- Stay Hydrated – Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins and support thyroid function.
- Limit Stimulants – Reduce caffeine, alcohol, and processed sugars, which can exacerbate thyroid imbalances and increase stress hormones.
- Engage in Stress Management – High stress levels can worsen thyroid conditions, so practice meditation, yoga, or breathing exercises to promote relaxation.
- Improve Sleep Quality – Lack of sleep can affect hormonal balance, so aim for 7-9 hours of rest per night.
- Support Liver Health – Since the liver plays a role in thyroid hormone conversion, incorporating liver-supporting herbs like dandelion and turmeric can aid in thyroid regulation.
Important Note
While natural remedies can help regulate thyroid function and reduce hyperthyroid symptoms, severe cases of hyperthyroidism may require medical supervision. If symptoms worsen, lead to heart complications, or cause extreme weight loss and fatigue, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment options
