What Is Hypothyroidism?
The thyroid gland is located at the base of the throat below the larynx. It is responsible for the secretion of the hormones tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Hypothyroidism refers to a condition where the thyroid no longer produces an efficient amount of these hormones. Because these hormones play a role in regulating nearly every bodily function, a lack of them can affect the body in a variety of ways. Symptoms usually include depression, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, tingling in the hands and feet, constipation, fatigue, menstrual problems, dry skin, brittle nails, and dull or thinning hair.
What Is the Natural Approach?
The thyroid gland uses iodine to make the hormones tri-iodothyronine and thyroxine. It would seemingly be easy for most people today to get the necessary nutrient from table salt. In fact, iodine was added to table salt to combat the common thyroid problem, goiter. However, since table salt is chemically prepared and then cooked, the actual iodine absorption rate can be diminished. It is far superior to intake iodine from living organic sources. Eating and making fresh juices with carrot, parsley, and spinach with the addition of powdered kelp, dulse, or other sea vegetable has aided many. Exercise is extremely important for those with hypothyroidism as it actually stimulates thyroid hormone secretion and tissue absorption of the hormone. The herbal formula in Thyroid Assist is known for its supportive function in maintaining thyroid health and hormonal balance. Thyroid Assist supports the healthy functioning of the thyroid, thereby helping to maintain balanced metabolism, body temperature, fertility, healthy weight and routine, healthy performance.

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.
