The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck just below the Adam’s apple. It is considered the chief gland regulating the body’s energy and metabolism. When the thyroid is overactive and produces excessive amounts of the thyroxin hormone, the condition is known as hyperthyroidism. Common causes of hyperthyroidism include the autoimmune disorder known as Graves’ disease, inflammation of the thyroid gland, abnormal secretion of thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH), excessive intake of iodine, or benign lumps or nodules in the thyroid. While anyone can suffer from hyperthyroidism, the condition occurs eight times more often in women than in men. It can develop as early as in their 30s, but symptoms are more common in women over 60. Several signs could be indicative of hyperthyroidism such as drastic weight loss, an irregular heartbeat, nervousness, excessive perspiration, changes in the menstrual cycle, swelling at the base of the neck, fatigue, muscle weakness and difficulty sleeping. As many of the signs of hyperthyroidism are common to other conditions, it can be a bit challenging to diagnose the problem quickly. The sooner an overactive thyroid is diagnosed, the easier it will be to bring it back under control with medications, supplements, and lifestyle changes. Hyperthyroidism can also be treated with some natural ingredients. Here are the top 10 home remedies for hyperthyroidism. Bugleweed The herb bugleweed, also known as Lycopusvirginica, can help manage various symptoms of hyperthyroidism. This particular herb reduces the amount of hormone that is produced by the thyroid. Studies have found that it helps decrease TSH levels and impairs thyroid hormone synthesis. (1) Moreover, it helps lower T4 levels and blocks the conversion of T4 to T3. - Prepare an herbal tea by putting one-half teaspoon (or a little less) of bugleweed in a cup of boiling water and allowing it to steep for several minutes. Strain and cool, and then enjoy this tea once daily. - You can also take this herb in the form of tincture (two to six ml per day). Furthermore, a combination of bugleweed, motherwort and lemon balm is highly effective in treating hyperthyroidism naturally. Lemon Balm Lemon balm, also known as Melissa officinalis, is an herb that can help normalize an overactive thyroid by reducing TSH levels. It contains flavonoids, phenolic acids and other useful compounds that regulate the thyroid. In fact, it blocks the activity of antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland and cause Graves’ disease, which is a common form of hyperthyroidism. (2) To restore your thyroid activity to a healthy level, drink lemon balm tea. - Add two tablespoons of lemon balm to one cup of boiling water. - Let it steep for about five minutes. - Strain and drink this tea 3 times a day. You may start the treatment with a lesser dosage, about one-half or one teaspoon of lemon balm, and gradually increase the amount to two tablespoons. Motherwort The herb motherwort, also known as Leonurus cardiaca, acts as a natural beta-blocker and helps control tachycardia (high heart rate) and palpitations. It has some anti-thyroid activity as well, which makes it even more beneficial for those suffering from hyperthyroid conditions. - Steep one-half teaspoon of motherwort in one cup of boiling water for at least five minutes. Strain and cool. - Drink this tea three times daily. It is essential to note that this herb must be avoided if you are taking any kind of sedating medications. Broccoli Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable that contains substances known as isothiocyanates and goitrogens, which help restrain the thyroid from producing too much hormone. Therefore, anyone suffering from hyperthyroidism must try to eat uncooked broccoli as much as possible. Other cruciferous vegetables that may be helpful are brussel sprouts, cauliflower, rutabaga, turnips, kohlrabi, kale, mustard greens, and radishes. Soy products Protein-based foods are good for those suffering from hyperthyroidism. Protein transports thyroid hormones to different body tissues. Research shows that a moderate concentration of soy sterols can help improve hyperthyroidism. (4) Hence, eating more soy products can help treat the condition. If you are not a big fan of soy products, try to include nuts, quinoa, eggs, farmed fish and legumes in your diet. Omega-3 Fatty Acids If your body is not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids, there can be hormonal imbalance, including thyroid hormones. These essential fatty acids are the building blocks for hormones that control immune function and cell growth, and also help improve the ability to respond to thyroid hormones. You can increase the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet by eating more fish, grass-fed animal products, flaxseeds, and walnuts.

Hipertireoza – uzroci, simptomi i liječenje Hipertireoza uzrokuje ubrzani rad štitnjače i to je stanje u kojem štitnjača proizvodi previše hormona tiroksina. Hipertireoza može značajno ubrzati vaš metabolizam tijela, što uzrokuje nagli gubitak težine, brz ili nepravilan rad srca, znojenje, nervozu ili razdražljivost. Liječenje hipertireoze može uključivati lijekove i radioaktivni jod, koji usporava proizvodnju hormona štitnjače. Ponekad, liječenje hipertireoze uključuje i operaciju, no riječ je iznimnim slučajevima. Hipertireoza može biti vrlo ozbiljna ako se ne liječi, no terapija obično ublažava sve simptome i većina ljudi dobro reagira na nju. Simptomi hipertireoze Hipertireozu je ponekad teško dijagnosticirati jer ona može oponašati druge zdravstvene probleme. Simptomi hipertireoze mogu uključivati sljedeće: - Iznenadni gubitak težine, čak i kada su vaš apetiti i količina te vrsta hrane koju jedete ostali isti ili su se čak povećali - Ubrzan rad srca (tahikardija) – obično više od 100 otkucaja u minuti - Nepravilan rad srca (aritmija) - Lupanje srca (palpitacije) - Povećani apetit - Nervoza, tjeskoba i razdražljivost - Tremor odnosno drhtanje u rukama i prstima - Znojenje - Promjene u obrascima menstrualnog ciklusa - Povećana osjetljivost na toplinu - Promjene u radu crijeva, osobito češća stolica - Povećana štitnjača (gušavost), koja se može pojaviti kao oteklina na vratu Umor, slabost mišića - Poteškoće sa spavanjem - Stanjivanje kože - Krhka kosa Kod starijih osoba simptomi su često puno suptilniji ili ih uopće nema. Mogu uključivati - Povećan broj otkucaja srca - Netolerancija na toplinu - Brzo umaranje tijekom redovitih aktivnosti. Lijekovi koji se nazivaju beta blokatori i koriste se za liječenje viskog krvnog tlaka i drugih medicinskih stanja, mogu prikriti mnoge od znakova hipertireoze. Uzroci hipertireoze Brojna stanja mogu uzrokovati hipertireozu štitnjače, uključujući Gravesovu bolest (ovo autoimuno stanje poznato je i pod nazivom Basedowljeva bolest), toksični adenom, tireoditis, tumori, adenom hipofize, trofoblastni tumor, koriokarcinom ili hidatiformna mola. Najčešći uzroci su kronično upaljena štitnjača (tireoiditis) i Gravesova bolest. Općenito govoreći, svi ovi poremećaji rezultat su neusklađenog rada imunološkog sustava. Liječenje hipertireoze Postoji nekoliko tretmana za hipertireozu. Odabir najboljeg pristupa liječenju ovisit će o vašoj dobi, općenitom zdravstvenom stanju i težini poremećaja. Liječenje može uključivati: - Radioaktivni jod – radioaktivni jod uzima se oralno i apsorbira se u vašu štitnjaču, gdje uzrokuje smanjenje žlijezde, a tako i simptoma, obično u roku od tri do šest mjeseci. Ovaj tretman uzrokuje usporavanje štitnjače, što može dovesti do to neaktivne štitnjače i postoji mogućnost da će se lijekovi morati zamijeniti tiroksinom. Ova metoda liječenja koristi se već više od 60 godina i smatra se općenito sigurnom. - Antitiroidne lijekove – ovi lijekovi postupno smanjuju simptome hipertireoze sprječavanjem štitnjače da proizvodi višak hormona. Simptomi se obično počinju poboljšavati u roku od 6-12 tjedana, ali se liječenje nastavlja najmanje godinu dana, a često i više. Kod nekih osoba, bolest će se nakon terapije trajno povući, ali mogući su recidivi. Ovi lijekovi mogu izazvati oštećenje jetre, a kod malog broja ljudi javlja se i osip na koži, povišena temperatura ili bolovi u zglobovima. Oni također mogu povećati osjetljivost na infekcije. - Beta blokatore – ovi lijekovi obično se koriste za liječenje visokog krvnog tlaka. Oni neće izliječiti štitnjaču, ali mogu smanjiti broj otkucaja srca i spriječiti lupanje srca. Iz tog razloga, liječnih ih može propisati kao pomoć u ublažavanju simptoma uz uobičajenu terapiju. Nuspojave mogu uključivati umor, glavobolju, mučninu, zatvor, proljev i vrtoglavicu. - Kiruršku operaciju (tireoidektomija) – ako ste trudni ili iz drugog razloga ne možete (ili ne želite) uzimati gore navedene lijekove, možete biti kandidat za operaciju štitnjače, premda je to opcija samo u nekoliko slučaja. Kod ovog zahvata, liječnik uklanja veći dio štitnjače. Rizici ove operacije uključuju oštećenje glasnica i paratireoidnih žlijezda – četiri sićušne žlijezde smještene u stražnjem dijelu štitne žlijezde, a koje pomažu u kontroli razine kalcija u krvi. Osim toga, bit će potrebno doživotno uzimanje lijekova koji će opskrbiti vaše tijelo normalnim količinama hormona štitnjače. Ako su vaše paratiroidne žlijezde uklonjene, bit će potrebno i uzimanje lijekova koji kontroliraju razinu kalcija u krvi.
