Herbs for Thyroid health The thyroid is a small gland which plays an indispensable role in functioning of most of the body organs. The thyroid gland is responsible for producing two hormones and carefully regulating them. If the thyroid does not function properly, it can disrupt your health and malfunction the body organs. Natural remedies such as herbs have been used to support thyroid health in traditional Chinese medicine and ancient Indian therapy Ayurveda, and are still popular in the countries of their origin (China and India) and in the neighboring countries as well. Basically there are three types of thyroid conditions – an overactive thyroid, an under-active thyroid and an enlarged thyroid. It is better if herbs are used along with an understanding of the mechanism by which they aid in treating the above mentioned thyroid conditions. Herbs, vegetables and fruits have various properties with natural capabilities that aid in the healing processes providing the required support to thyroid gland. They can also provide effective support by stimulating the gland. One class of herbs for thyroid health used as thyroid supplement belongs to the commiphora genus of East Indian. African trees yielding balsamic products known as guggul and Ashwagandha, (_Withania somnifera_) also aid thyroid health. Though conventional medicine has actually indirectly helped in popularizing herbal medicine, they are still contested by conventionalists. This could be due to lack of funding and support from research facilities and non-acceptance of herbs in general, herbal medicines are not accepted by some in the western world. Many herbs have to be prepared in a particular manner to get rid of their toxicity or else could be poisonous and some should be prepared systematically in order to obtain its best effectiveness.
