Had that problem, finally I couldn't even walk without feeling like throwing out, heart jumping out.
Took drugs - BAD decission, now having autoimmune problems, thyroid being destroyed by antibodies, face skin got all red like sun burnt, food causes irritation - it was hell.
Got it under control with various drugs/medicines, but never went away and face skin requires daily treatment.
It all started with over-active thyroid...
Better research before taking any drug for that.

Does it say not recommended for HYPER or HYPO thyroidism?
Hyper means overactive, hypo means underactive. If the kelp stimulates the thyroid, it would NOT be recommended for hyperthyroidism, but WOULD work well for hypothyroidism.

It says :HYPER: and my problem is low producing thyroid.

So I guess I have hypothyroidism. Makes sense! Thanks for the input.

Cayenne is an easy and cheap herb for speeding up the metabolism, too. Don't overdose yourself, though, or you'll end up with fire-ass.

Hi TriuneTorch,

if your thyroid gland is under-active, your throat-chakra is perhaps too low on energy or blocked. Think about the issues of your life that are connected to the responsibilities of that chakra, if there are disharmonies. The throat-chakra is associated with expression in general – expression of your whole being and it’s will. I think, treating the physical body with physical means without looking for blockages in your inner and outer world provides no enduring change. Better treat your being at all planes of existence. I found a good description about the throat-chakra on this site: http://www.spiritual-path.com/mind&body.htm

spiritual path wrote:

The Throat Chakra is associated with the parts of the consciousness concerned with expressing and receiving. Expressing can be in the form of communicating what one wants and what one feels, or it can be artistic expression, as an artist painting, a dancer dancing, a musician playing music, using a form for expressing and bringing to the outside what was within. Expression is related to receiving, as, "Ask, and ye shall receive."
The throat chakra is associated with abundance, and with the state of consciousness called, "grace," where it seems that what you want for you is also what God wants for you. Accepting what the abundant universe offers you requires a sense of unconditionally receiving.
This chakra is also associated with listening to one's intuition, and flowing in a particular way where it seems that the Universe supports you in all that you do. It is the first level of consciousness from which one perceives another level of intelligence functioning, and one's interaction with this other level of intelligence.
Parts of the body associated with this chakra include the throat, shoulders, and arms and hands. and the thyroid gland.
The sense of hearing is associated with this chakra, and the element of ether, the most subtle physical element, corresponding to what we find in deep space. The ether is the crossover between the physical and the spiritual dimensions. Someone looking at the world through this chakra watches the manifestation of their goals. The Will Arm represents manifesting what you want, and the Feeling Arm represents manifesting what makes you happy. Hopefully, the two point to the same thing. Blue is the color associated with this chakra.

An under-active thyroid gland causes tiredness. If you don’t have goals that match your soul’s goals, maybe the soul switches to tiredness-modus. It then lacks motivation to do anything and doesn’t provide enough energy to manifest activity.
You could activate the throat-chakra through singing or humming for instance. Drugs then provide the necessary help at the physical plane.

Kelp is great for the thyroid, and I don't believe it's necessary to get
your doctor's OK on that, since it's a food, not a drug. Possibly it could cause problems for hyper-thyroids since it does stimulate the gland. Anyway, I've been using kelp for about 20 years and it's only helped me. You can use seaweed in miso soup and other reciples or take
kelp tablets.

Yoga is good for glandular health in general and the shoulderstand in particular benefits the thyroid.

Also Coleus forskohlii herb may help too.

Hi torch,

I can speak of some supplements; a high potency multivitamin (or B-complex formula) and aminoacid L-tyrosine (1000 mg/day) can be used for hypo thyroidis.

Some sources also suggest kelp as an iodine supplement - but it's better to talk with your physician on this first.

I have been told that my thyroid gland is under-active. As a male, I wonder if any others have insight to balancing this "problem"?
