HYPO-THYROID & HYPER-THYROID BALANCE  

Hormone balancing blends for an underactive and overactive thyroid that also improves adrenal health

The endocrine system has several glands that are located through the body. They make and secrete hormones, chemical messengers that coordinate different functions in the body, carrying messages through the blood to the various organs in the body such as skin, and muscles.

The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland situated at the front of the neck, just beneath the larynx. The thyroid is important because it regulates the body’s metabolism and calcium balance. When the thyroid gland is imbalanced, various symptoms occur in the body.

Hormonal imbalances occur because of stress, the environment or chemical pollution. Symptoms might be either an increase or decrease of weight, fatigue, insomnia, depression, emotional fluctuations, and infertility.

Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland

Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid caused by unusually low thyroid hormone production. The thyroid hormones affect growth, development, and many metabolic functions. Insufficient thyroid hormone causes fatigue, weight gain, a puffy face, lethargy, unhealthy cholesterol levels, thinning hair, and swelling in the joints. 

Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid gland

Hyperthyroidism is an overactivity of the thyroid gland that results in a rapid heartbeat and an increased rate of metabolism, causing weight to decrease. This occurs when the thyroid gland produces more of the hormone thyroxine than it should.
