Thyroid
Formula - Is Your Depression from an Undiagnosed Thyroid
Condition?
Thyroid
conditions can cause Depression. Depressive Disorders
are often related to malfunctions of signals transmitted
between the Brain and Central Nervous System. This includes
signals to our key organs and glands.
Växa’s Thyroid Formula is
the result of years in research to develop a homeopathic
remedy. It blends selected herbs, a variety of nutrients
and essential trace minerals that help maintain healthy
levels of thyroid hormone so that the body can:
Experience
an increase in energy
Utilize
incoming nutrients to nourish & strengthen the
thyroid gland
Achieve
overall improvement in thyroid function
Reduce
swollen glands, if present
As
a result, a person may experience improved outlook and
hopefulness.
This tiny gland, situated in the neck at the throat’s
base, regulates the body’s metabolism. It weighs
only .5 percent of the body’s total weight, but
holds 25 percent of the total iodine content obtained
from food and water.
The thyroid secretes essential hormones that affect
nearly every bodily tissue where it increases cellular
activity – thereby affecting almost every organ
and working system in the body…heart rate, weight,
energy, strength of muscles, skin conditions, sight,
menstruation, mental health, and many more.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and
hyperthyroidism (overactive) can appear suddenly or
slowly, but can be so numerous and so persistent, that
(1) living with these symptoms in itself can cause depression,
especially if the disease is undiagnosed as in approximately
13 million Americans! Or (2) the depression comes from
the imbalanced chemical state of the brain’s neurotransmitters,
and a malfunctioning gland due to autoimmune disease,
too much iodine or other factors.
Thyroid Malfunctions can go Undiagnosed in “Regular”
Tests
Overactive and underactive thyroid symptoms can cross
over, with people having several from both categories,
making it hard to diagnose or causing an incorrect,
simplified diagnosis of just “stress” or
“mild depression”. The person may be put
on wrong medication or may not be given correct advice.
Hypothyroidism:
Cold extremities, fatigue, constipation, cramps,
depression, mood swings, low temperature and respiratory
infections, dry and brittle hair, yellow-toned dry
skin, fatigue, fluid retention and weight gain,
menstrual problems, raised cholesterol.
Hyperthyroidism:
Irritability, nervousness, sleep disturbances, muscle
weakness/tremors, irregular menstrual periods, weight
loss, bulging eyes and heat intolerance (people
with overactive thyroid can be cold even at moderate
temperatures, and can also experience depression,
although less frequently noted).
Thyroid
Formula does not add hormones from an outside source,
but stimulates the gland to produce normal amounts of
hormone. To highlight several herbs in the formula which
provide this stimulation:
Kelp: A rich source of natural vitamins,
minerals and amino acids, kelp promotes healthy glandular
function by regulating the thyroid.
Bayberry: A stimulating astringent
that raises vitality, improves circulation and balances
hormones.
Black Walnut: Abundant in organic iodine
and manganese to nourish and strengthen the gland’s
function, it helps to improve a sluggish metabolism.
