Nature's Instinct - Herbal Support for Hypothyroidism - is a botanical alternative medicine formulation that includes a blend of premium, all-natural herbals that nourish the thyroid gland, stimulate thyroid hormone production to support and maintain normal healthy thyroid function. Hypothyroidism affects millions of people, most of whom are women, and untreated thyroid hormone deficiency and poor thyroid function often leads to serious health issues. The thyroid gland is the body's internal thermostat, regulating temperature by secreting hormones that control how quickly the body burns calories and uses energy. Hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) is caused by reduced activity of the thymus gland, which causes inadequate production of thyroid hormone (thyroxine). Symptoms may include fatigue, inability to tolerate cold, a slow heart rate, weight gain, dry/scaly skin, hair loss, migraines, constipation, depression, painful premenstrual periods, muscle weakness, difficulty in concentrating and goiter (the enlargement of the thyroid gland, visible as a swelling at the front of the neck). If one has hypothyroidism, it is most likely caused by a hormonal imbalance, because the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, which tends to slow down the body's functions, including metabolism. The chemical element, iodine, is a major component of thyroid hormone and a deficiency of this element is a leading cause of hypothroidism. All the herbs in Nature's Instinct are said to support thyroid function and also specifically target a thyroid failure called autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto’s disease), a form of thyroid inflammation caused by the patient's own immune system. The body, in effect, becomes allergic to thyroid hormone and produces antibodies against its own thyroid tissue. It often causes goiter, which is one of the earliest and most visible signs of iodine deficiency in the diet, and more severe cases of iodine deficiency result in hypothyroidism. Let's look at some of the herbs in Nature's Instinct to see how it works: Kelp and Bladderwrack are two gifts from the sea and may be the best metabolic stimulants, because they supply rich quantities of iodine, the critical element needed for healthy thyroid function. When obesity is a direct result of thyroid disorders, both herbs may help in weight control regimens by boosting the thyroid's metabolic rate. There is also iodine-rich Maca Root, which balances all bodily hormones and reduces thyroidal symptoms. It is is a fatigue-fighter and general tonic to counter temporary depression, lethargy, memory loss and other disorders resulting from depleted energy stores. Schisandra Berry balances all bodily functions and improves mental function; it's active constituents help to relieve emotional and physical depression. Cayenne and Cinnamon are warming herbs that stimulate blood circulation throughout the body. Cinnamon rids the body of cold and dampness and stimulates blood flow and peripheral circulation, which is especially beneficial to people with cold hands and feet (typical of people with underactive thyroid). Cayenne can increase heart action without increasing blood pressure. Astragalus Root is an energy tonic and mild stimulant that combats fatigue and prolonged stress. It increases metabolism, stamina, strength and vitality and helps strengthen and restore normal immune function. Dong Quai is an overall tonic that balances hormones and relieves the discomforts of PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome), plus acts as a mild laxative to relieve constipation, a tranquilizer to calm nerves and a pain reliever to ease headaches. It also promotes better blood circulation and helps to improve brain stimulation and alertness. Bee Propolis contributes by stimulating the thymus gland, thus boosting thyroid gland activity, and Myrrh helps increase thyroid hormone activity to enhance metabolism, which may also be beneficial in cases of obesity. By enhancing thyroid performance, metabolism is also boosted, circulation improved and energy increased, and Nature's Instinct contains the very finest herbs that support stimulation of thyroid performance.
