Overactive Thyroid "Hyperthyroidism" Renovation Tea

This package contains 10 premium tea bags.

Ingredients: Bugleweed, Lemon Balm, Motherwort and Amla

Bugleweed - Has historical use in treating overactive thyroid conditions. According to Dr. Sharol Tilgner, a naturopathic physician and author of "Herbal Medicine from the Heart of the Earth," bugleweed works by blocking the conversion of thyroxin, also called T4, to the more potent form of thyroid hormone, tri-iodothyronine or T3. Bugleweed also affects thyroid stimulating hormone, or TSH, a pituitary hormone that communicates with the thyroid gland and helps regulate thyroid hormone production. Bugleweed can also alleviate a rapid or irregular heartbeat -- common symptoms with hyperthyroidism.

Lemon Balm - Helps treat anxiety, restlessness, irregular heartbeat and irritability, typical experiences with an overactive thyroid. Lemon balm works on various stages of thyroid action in the body: by affecting the influence of TSH, preventing the synthesis of T4 and inhibiting the conversion of T4 to T3 in the liver. Additionally, lemon balm blocks the action of auto-antibodies -- immune complexes that stimulate the thyroid gland and are typically overabundant in Graves' disease, the most common form of hyperthyroidism.

Motherwort - May strengthen the heart, and so it may also be especially helpful for heart ailments, a main feature of hyperthyroidism.

Amla - May reduce T4 and T3 concentrations in hyperthyroidism. Amla is also utilized in formulas to treat diabetes, cataracts and cancer.
