Thyroid Support Herbs

The thyroid gland is a large gland situated in the front part of the neck, just below the adam's apple. It is butterfly-shaped, with the wings being the left and right thyroid lobes that wrap around the trachea. Its function is to produce thyroid hormone which is responsible for regulating metabolism and organ function.

Hypothyroidism is a condition where your thyroid gland is not producing as much hormone as it should. This causes metabolic activities to slow. Undiagnosed hypothyroidism can make you feel run down, depressed, cold or tired. It can slow down your heart rate, make your hair dry and brittle, give you itchy skin, muscle cramps, infertility or menstrual disorders.
