This includes your hair. While some uncertainty did exist in the past about whether thyroid function influenced hair follicle health, definitive evidence was found in a major study in 2008. The results were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism in that year. The findings in the study point to a deep relationship between hair biology and the ability of the body to retain healthy levels of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4.

Hypothyroidism is a chronic illness that can affect anyone but is particularly common in women. It's even estimated that as much as 10% of the general population of women may suffer from at least a minor form of this condition. If you're one of the 10 million people in America currently living with a diagnosis, it's time for you to discover an herb known as Ashwagandha. Adding this natural plant to your treatment routine is very easy and has a lot of promise for reducing your symptoms and improving your health.

What is Hypothyroidism?

The thyroid is a small gland, located at the bottom of the neck, that is largely responsible for regulating the body's metabolism through the release of the right hormones. When your thyroid gland becomes underactive or even stops working altogether, you'll naturally experience a lot of metabolism-related problems. Some of the most common symptoms of this condition include:

• 

  General fatigue and tiredness no matter how much you rest

• Muscle weakness that comes and goes in different parts of the body

• Steady or sudden weight gain that is hard to lose no matter how much you restrict calorie intake

• Cramping in various major muscle groups, mainly the back, legs, and upper arms

• Increased sensitivity to cold temperatures, to the point of being physically uncomfortable due to air conditioning or a cool breeze outside

• Hair loss that can't be traced to stress or hormonal imbalances

• Chronic constipation

• Depression and mood swings

• Anger and overblown reactions to small irritations

• Dry skin and hair that does not respond well to typical moisturizers

• Pale skin despite sun exposure or a complexion that is naturally darker

• Absent or irregular menstrual cycles

• Loss of sex drive and sexual response to stimulus.

Even the most minor cases of thyroid dysfunction can trigger a cascade of these bothersome symptoms to interrupt your life. While this condition is not directly life-threatening, it can make you feel so depressed that you can't handle your daily responsibilities anymore. Taking control of your thyroid's function is difficult, but it's worth the effort to find the right treatment to restore your natural metabolism. Allowing your metabolism to fail without assistance could leave you struggling with long-term obesity and the serious health risks that come along with it.

According to the United States National Library of Medicine, thyroid disease affects 27 million Americans. Approximately 13 million of those affected are presently undiagnosed. People suffer from low metabolism and hormone imbalance and never consider seeing a doctor. Thyroid problems can be triggered by the production of too much hormone (hyperthyroidism), too little hormone (hypothyroidism), or cancer.

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are silent epidemics. They can be hard to diagnose because in most cases they are linked to other health problems. Symptoms often appear gradually so patients may not feel like anything is wrong for a while. Most people schedule an appointment when they discover a lump on their neck. Depending on the symptoms, a doctor may perform several tests before diagnosing a thyroid disorder. If you have symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, consider taking supplements together with your medication. Try any of these natural remedies for thyroid disorders and improve your thyroid’s functionality.

The thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ set at the base of the neck, plays a big role in metabolism. It produces two vital hormones: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones ensure all the cells in the body function normally. They control metabolism and regulate important bodily functions like breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, body weight, and menstrual cycle. When your thyroid levels are unbalanced, your overall health is affected. Poor thyroid function is linked to several health conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, infertility, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune diseases. Many of these diseases can be prevented or eliminated by vitamins for thyroid health.
