4 Natural remedies for hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism means an overactive thyroid, or that the thyroid gland begins secreting large amounts of thyroid hormones, a condition in which your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body’s metabolism significantly causing sudden weight loss, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nervousness or irritability.
The most common causes for hyperthyroidism are a chronically inflamed thyroid (thyroiditis) and an autoimmune condition called Graves Disease. Both inflammatory and auto-immune disorders are caused by an over-active and under-coordinated immune system.
