The thyroid is a gland located near the base of your throat. It's a relatively small gland that's shaped like a butterfly.
You want to make sure this gland stays in optimal working condition and you want to treat anything that affects it because your thyroid helps in the function of many of your body's other organs.
Some common problems with the thyroid include hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and nodules on the gland.
Symptoms can include weight gain, fatigue, hair loss and if untreated, more serious health complications.
So it's important that practice diligent care with this gland. Peppermint essential oil is one of the oils you'll want to have on hand for your thyroid.
The leaves along with the stems of the peppermint plant are used to make this oil.
The oil that's produced contains anti-inflammatory as well as antiviral properties.
Because it's so pungent and strong, you'll want to use a carrier oil with this one. This oil is an important helper for the thyroid.
There are some viruses that can cause the cells in the thyroid to come under attack.
When that happens, the gland's ability to function properly is affected and damage is done.
Using an essential oil with antiviral properties can help that as well as help prevent viral thyroid complications from happening.
Spearmint essential oil is another oil from the mint family that helps the thyroid.
It's made from the leaves of the spearmint plant and it offers several ways to help your thyroid function.
One of the ways that it helps is like peppermint essential oil - it also has anti-inflammatory properties.
Since inflammations can interfere with how well your thyroid can work, using essential oils with these properties is extremely beneficial to your body.
Another way that this helps is that it stimulates your metabolism.
People with thyroid problems can often experience problems with a sluggish metabolism.
When looking to help your thyroid, you'll want to look for essential oils that help to protect and boost the way the gland works.
Myrrh essential oil is one of the oils that can benefit the thyroid. This oil is widely known as a healing oil.
Not only does it have anti-inflammatory as well as antiviral properties, but it also has antioxidant properties. This oil is known to help with hyperthyroidism.
Myrtle essential oil is made from a shrub. It's been used to stimulate the thyroid function regardless of whether or not the thyroid was diagnosed as hyper or hypo.
It has antiseptic as well as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. This oil should be diluted when using.
