KEY TAKEAWAYS:
There are a lot of people out there with hyperthyroidism. Unfortunately a lot of them end up getting their thyroid glands removed or ablated because they aren’t aware of the options they have.
Thyroid triggers vary from person to person, so there isn’t a standard ‘protocol’ for all patients. Proper testing is needed to appropriately assess your clients.
For natural thyroid remedies there is Motherwort to help with the cardiovascular system and hyperthyroidism, Bugleweed for antithyroid that can help with palpitations, and Lemon Balm to help patients with sleep issues.
