History
At first, all that was known about the human thyroid was that it needed iodine and it was responsible for heat generation. We learn about this in Matt and Phyllis' class Iodine, Evolution, and the Thyroid.
Signs, Symptoms & Diagnostic Terms
In addition to iodine deficiency, various types of goiter, swelling, and small lumps can occur in the thyroid—as well as cancer.
We will address the four major conditions of the thyroid that are usually contemplated:
- hyperthyroidism
- hypothyroidism
- Hashimoto’s disease (which usually ends in hypothyroidism)
- under-secretion of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the pituitary
- Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome
These can have a multitude of causes and whether we know the cause or not, there are effective remedies for all of these conditions.
Effective, Time-tested Remedies Matt and Phyllis have often and successfully used to improve thyroid conditions:
- Lemon Balm
- Motherwort
- Lycopus
