Home Remedies for an Overactive Thyroid

One of the causes of hyperthyroidism is due to thyroiditis, as mentioned in the first post. To reduce inflammation of the thyroid gland, drink a glass of anti-inflammatory papaya juice every morning. Check out the video below to get the complete recipe with instructions and measurements.

Papaya helps to regulate the functions of thyroid glands. Both turmeric and ginger have anti-inflammatory properties that can help with the inflamed thyroid gland.

Some tips to note:

• Incorporate yoga or meditation into your daily routine as stress is responsible for hormonal imbalance

• Increase intake of cruciferous vegetable, such as cabbage and broccoli, which helps to control the level of thyroid activity

Hopefully this post will be useful to those suffering from hyperthyroidism. Take care. :)
