7. Ginger
Ginger is terrific for settling upset tummies and stopping feelings of nausea and vomiting, but this herb is also a great source of zinc, potassium, and magnesium, all of which are important to the thyroid. All of the above listed minerals help to reduce inflammation in the body, which is important as well. Feel free to consume ginger any way you like, as long as you consume it fresh. Using fresh, organic ginger root to make tea each day is a simple way to get more of this important herb into your life.
8. Nettle
Sometimes referred to as stinging nettle, this is thought to be perhaps the perfect thyroid tonic, as it offers a balance between those suffering from an underactive thyroid or an overactive thyroid. Nettle is especially good for those with an underactive thyroid because it helps to reverse an iodine deficiency. Make your own stinging nettle tea by steeping one tablespoon of the dried herb to one cup of water for about 10 minutes. Drink two or three cups each day.
9. Evening Primrose Oil
This supplement is full of amino acids that are vital for the health of your thyroid. They can help improve the overall thyroid function and alleviate the symptoms for those suffering from an underactive thyroid, such as hair loss, dry skin, and heavy menstrual periods. Evening primrose oil also helps to stop inflammation in the body.
10. Lemon Balm
This super gentle herb is a member of the mint family, and is considered to be super beneficial for the thyroid. Lemon balm can help normalize an overactive thyroid as it reduces the production of thyroid hormones and ease the symptoms that are often associated with hyperthyroidism.
