Have you lost an unexpected amount of weight? Are you sweating more than usual? It’s possible you may be suffering from hyperthyroidism, a condition where your thyroid gland excessively produces hormones. Luckily, there are homeopathic treatments available for hyperthyroidism treatment in Phoenix, AZ.
Signs of Hyperthyroidism
These are the signs you may be suffering from hyperthyroidism:
• Swelling in or near your thyroid
• Increased heart rate
• Warm and/or moist skin
• Soft and weak hair and nails
Additionally, hyperthyroidism may cause the following symptoms:
• Unexpected weight loss
• Increased appetite
• Palpitations
• Shortness of breath

Hyperthyroidism can also cause other issues such as osteoporosis, heart disease, high blood pressure, and thyroid crisis.
Traditional Treatments
Traditionally, hyperthyroidism treatment in Phoenix, AZ, consists of a combination of medicine, radioactive iodine, surgery, and suppressive hormone therapy. Surgery is likely inevitable, and you will have to become dependent on medicine to replace your thyroid function.
A Two-Pronged Natural Approach
If you’re interested in a more natural or homeopathic approach to dealing with hypothyroidism, you should start by incorporating the following into your diet.
• Cruciferous Veggies: Cauliflower, kale, cabbage, broccoli, and radishes contain high levels of goitrogens, which can block your thyroid from turning iodine into thyroid hormones.
• Calcium and Sodium: Combined with healthy exercise and other vitamins, calcium and sodium will support the proper functioning of your body.
• Vitamin D: Vitamin D is a pivotal part of maintaining the strength of your bones. Extra vitamin D is a necessity in combating hyperthyroidism.
There are several options for homeopathic medicine that treat hyperthyroidism. Popular choices are Calcarea Carbonica, Thuja, Thyroidinum, Arsenicum Iodatum, Fucus V, Iodum, Lycopus Spongia, Belladonna, and Cactus.
