Low Thyroid - Hypothyroid

Research for low functioning thyroid

http://www.foundessentialoils.com/home-thyroid-test.html

Home thyroid test!

http://www.foundessentialoils.com/thyroid-gland.html

*Lots of info on how thyroid works and why.....  lots of other natural remedies not oil related

  • Adrenal Glands. There is a connection between the adrenal glands and the thyroid glands. If you are hypothyroid, you are more than likely also suffering from adrenal exhaustion. You cannot fix one without fixing the other.
Suggested oils:

Clove, Myrrh, Lemongrass, Peppermint

http://www.mynaturalfamily.com/symptoms/thyroid/doterra-essential-oils-thyroid-natural-treatment/

Suggested oils:

Clove, Myrrh, Lemongrass, Peppermint, DDR Prime Capsules, Mito 2 Max, Lifelong Vitality


http://www.miracleoils.ca/2013/05/hypothyroidism-and-essential-oils.html

The oils that I used were as follows:
  • 10 drops Myrrh, 10 drops Lemongrass, 2-3 drops clove, and 2-3 drops peppermint in a rollerball, neat. 
  • Roll directly on thyroid area several times a day at first until you get results. Depending on symptoms, results could be more energy, hair and nail improvement, etc.., then you can use once or twice a day till you feel you are functioning normally, and then once in a while when you feel the need.
*Lots more testimonials & recipe suggestions on this page

Start with strengthening the body systems with any thyroid issue: 
 GX Assist for cleansing
 PB Assist to rebuild probiotics
 Lifelong Vitality supplements
 The AromaTouch Technique is an additional way to strengthen and  balance the body


50 drops of Lemongrass, 50 drops of Clove, and 20 of Frankincense top with FCO.

Roll on the blend over your thyroid (on your throat) and also on the reflex points on your feet. 

After about a month and a half I felt better and didn't need to use the blend so much.  I am down to using it about 3 or 4 times a week.



Lauri - Laura Jacobs mentioned it in a talk at the doTERRA convention. Thyroid Gland is highly involved in Energy Production

Support – Myrrh, Frankincense, Geranium, Ginger

Hypo – Peppermint, Lemongrass, Clove


Debbie - Thanks Cristi.  It sounds like you are on the right track.  Those were my thoughts to share with my friend who is asking for help.  THANKS and good luck to you!
BTW, I don't know what your exercise abilities are, but I have had inherent thyroid issues. However, I'm doing well now.  I do believe the oils and LLW are great keys and were certainly very helpful, but for me personally, "running" is what totally got me off thyroid medication.  Even walking didn't quite do it.  Again, the best to you!


Pat - There are quite a few testimonials in the archives of everythingdoterra, I will give you the bullet points of them:
For the Thyroid, regardless of the type and even when it affects the Adrenal I would suggest applying Balance and Geranium to the big toe, the thyroid areas and the wrist all during the day and alternate the next week with Lemongrass, Peppermint, Myrrh and Clove as a blend to the same areas. Also dropping Frankincense under the tongue, 2 drops, 2-3 times a day. I would also suggest the GX Assist cleanse followed by the PB Assist and then go on the LLW (Lifelong Wellness supplements).

The best essential oil that supports the the movement of blood is helichrysum. Massaging this essential oil on location, towards the heart nightly would be a great regimen to use.

About CypressAlso Cypress is mentioned frequently.  That's because it has a valuable effect as a vasoconstrictor on varicose veins and hemorrhoids.  "It is beneficial in conditions of excess fluid, such as bleeding, nosebleeds, heavy menstruation, heavy perspiration, cough and bronchitis, hemorrhages and fluid retention."
