This article will discuss underactive Thyroid treatment options and whether it is best to go with conventional or alternative methods. I'll also explain what an underactive Thyroid is and what some of the causes are. Always discuss any treatments you may be considering with your doctor or health care provider beforehand.
The Thyroid gland is located in the neck and its purpose is to produce a range of hormones which regulate our growth and metabolism. In some people the Thyroid can become sluggish and not enough Thyroid hormones are produced for the body to function correctly and we might suffer from symptoms such as low body temperature, dizziness, constipation and extreme tiredness. We call this condition Hypothyroidism which basically means an underactive Thyroid gland.
There are probably many, many causes for this condition including Iodine deficiency, build up of toxins in the body or it can even be from an attack on the Thyroid gland by your own immune system as in Hashimoto's disease.
When diagnosed with Hypothyroidism your doctor will probably prescribe you Thyroxine (T4) which is a synthetic version of a Thyroid hormone. For many this works well and alleviates symptoms quickly but for others it can produce side effects and prolong the suffering.
Fortunately there are some very good alternatives for treating this condition such as natural Thyroid hormones and naturopathic medicine. Natural Thyroid hormones are derived from Pigs' Thyroid glands and naturally contain all the Thyroid hormones which is why we see great results from these types of products. Naturopathic medicine approaches things in a different way and aims to heal the root cause of the Hypothyroidism where internal healing can sometimes return the Thyroid gland to its fully functional state. There are many underactive Thyroid treatments available which get great results but must only be done with the guidance of a qualified professional.
