Question: Has anyone even heard of the herbs guggul and ashwaghanda?
Answers:
Yes, they are used as natural treatments for hypothyroidism.
1. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic medicine to support the thyroid gland. Studies show that it enhances thyroid function and produces a significant increase in T4 thyroid hormone.
2. Guggul extract
Research in mice shows Guggul extract to have very strong thyroid stimulating actions & it increases iodine uptake. New research on women with hypothyroidism shows that women who took a Guggul supplement every day were more likely to lose weight."
