Thyroid disorders are considered in two different categories. Hyperthyroidism is caused by an overactive thyroid gland that produces excess thyroid hormone. Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, excess sweating, tremors and nervousness, excess appetite with weight loss, diarrhea, and frequent bowel movements. Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, is the result of an under-active thyroid gland. Usual symptoms are hoarse voice, slowed speech, puffy face, drooping eyelids, cold sensitivity, constipation, weight gain, dry hair or skin, and depression. TCM considers both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism as Yin or Yang imbalances. When treating either condition in order to re-balance the Yin and Yang. Traditional Chinese Acupuncture treatment is a great way to help with hormonal balance and boosting energy levels while managing emotions, helping sleep, and treating menstrual problems， help to treat both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Also suggest patient avoid foods such as soy, cruciferous vegetables, gluten, fats, sugar, processed foods, coffee, and alcohol. Soy has plant based phytoestrogens and estrogen can interfere with hormone usage. Cruciferous vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, kale, turnips, and cabbage impact thyroid hormone production because they prevent iodine absorption. Get plenty of sunshine, keep good mode, properly exercise, plenty sleep help the recovery of thyroid issue faster.
