What is a natural herb that will enhance your thyroid and metabolism?

Answer 1

I am currently treating my hypothyroidism naturally. I read a book written my a man with hypothyroidism and he tells how he treated his naturally. The things he took were:
Garlic
Co Q10
Vitamin E
blue-green algae (Klammath Lake, OR)
Acidiphilis
Bifidus
Digestive enzymes with meals

I hope this helps. I truly feel that any disease can be treated with herbs/vitamins. You just have to find the right ones for you.

Answer 2

Stay away rom herbs. They may cause more problems than they are worth. Some say iodine helps, but if you are not iodine deficient you can be making the matters worse.

Supplements that can help convert T4 into T3 are zinc, selenum, and ltryosine.

If you need a thyroid medication because you are hypothyroid and want to try something natural there's Armour and Naturethroid.

Answer 3

For hypo-thyroidism ( i guess this is the condition as you mentioned "enhancing" thyroid):

- Fucus vesiculosis, also called Bladderwrack or kelp, is a sea vegetable which is a prime source of iodine - crucial in preventing thyroid problems. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years, especially in traditional Chinese medicine. Apart from its beneficial effect on thyroid functioning, it is also used as a metabolic stimulant and can be found in many slimming remedies. When using kelp medicinally, always make sure that it is sourced by a reputable and trusted company. Kelp harvested from the beach or near to the coast may be contaminated with industrial waste, sewerage, lead, mercury or other toxins. Kelp used in Native Remedies Thyroid Assist has been harvested only from uncontaminated areas and screened for the presence of toxins, heavy metal sand contamination.

- Avena sativa is derived from the wild oat plant and is a well known restorative and nerve tonic, used to treat depression, low libido and lack of energy, as well as hypothyroidism. More recently it has also been shown to be effective in reducing high cholesterol levels.

- Coleus forskohlii is a well respected and often difficult to obtain Ayurvedic (Indian) remedy, traditionally used to treat high blood pressure. It also acts to stimulate the thyroid to release thyroid hormones and is therefore beneficial in the treatment of hypothyroidism.

Answer 6

Stay away from the herbal/homeopathic crap. These things are unregulated and in some instances can be dangerous because there are no standards or scientific data proving their claims. Not to mention how expensive they are! If you feel you have thyroid or metabolism issues, get to a reputable endocrinologist.

Answer 7

Consult a good homeopath for a better solution.
