Question:
What is the best natural remedy for thyroid problem?
specifically for hypo & hyperthyroidism.
Answers:
If you are asking about both hypo and hyperthyroidism, I assume you are not about to treat yourself.
Both hypo- and hyperthyroidism can be very serious (life threatening) conditions, so need to be taken seriously!
There are many natural forms of treatment that can assist in management of thyroid conditions.
Many herbs can be used to help manage symptoms, and others can help tone the thyroid. The herbs chosen depend to a large extent on the cause of the condition eg iodine deficiency/autoimmune/pituitar... problem etc.
Hypothyroidism:
Fucus versiculosis (Bladderwrack) is the main herb for an underactive thyroid. Nettle seeds can also help.
Liver herbs such as Milk Thistle, Dandelion, Globe artichoke can help by increasing liver metabolism, which generally helps metabolism.
Globe artichoke can help the hypercholesterolaemia common in hypothyroidism.
Yellowdock (Rumex crispus) can help the associated constipation.
Exercise and avoiding brassica vegetables are important.
Skin brushing before showering can help
Increasing warming foods like chilli, ginger, cinnamon can help increse metabolic rate, and help that feeling of being cold.
Hyperthyroidism:
Bugleweed is the herb most commonly used for hyperthyroidism.
For the symptoms:
Motherwort for anxiety and palpitations.
Lemonbalm for the digestive problems and nervousness.
Withania is used for general toning of the thyroid.
The presentation of thyroid conditions is quite varied, so for best treatment, would need to know the symptoms, not just the condition.
I hope this helps adn wish you all the best.
