Home Remedies for Hypothyroidism
There are several ways by which we can treat hypothyroidism. It is a condition with insufficient amount of thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland. This hormone plays an active role in various body functions, so it is very essential to maintain a balance in the production of thyroid.
Fortunately, there are many home remedies that can naturally cure the condition. The most effective home remedy is Kelp sea weed which acts as an antioxidant and contains high amount of iodine that is required to produce the hormone.
Vitamins, mainly Vitamin B 12 and Vitamin C, also play a major role in treating hypothyroidism. Vitamin B 12 controls the functioning of the thyroid gland and Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant that helps in neutralizing the free radicals and aid in restoring the condition of hypothyroidism and even other body systems.
Spirulina and bladderwrack are also good herbs for regulating the production and maintaining the function of thyroid gland. Agnus castus and black cohosh support the level of estrogen that is believed to interfere with the normal thyroid production.
Avoid consuming nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, sweetened carbonated water and various processed foods as they will alter body metabolism and trigger hypothyroidism. Intake low calorie foods and others enriched in calcium, manganese, neodymium, terbium, copper and thulium. All these foods will help in smooth body metabolism and assist thyroid gland.
