Need help with Hashimotos Disease?
Firstly what is Hashimoto Disease and Hypothyroidism?
There is a general misconception that Hashimoto's Disease and Hypothyroidism is essentially the same thing, but this is incorrect.
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the Thyroid either stops or slows down in its production of Thyroid Hormones. These hormones essentially control how your body uses energy and low levels cause your body's metabolism to slow down.
Hashimos Disease (also known as Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Hashimoto's Hyperthyroidism etc) is as the name suggests. a disease that can cause the condition Hyperthyroidism. In fact, it is one of the main causes of Hyperthyroidism, which explains why they are commonly mistaken to be the same thing. Hashimoto Disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes your antibodies to react against the proteins in your Thyroid Gland. This antibody attack causes the Thyroid to become inflammed and enlarged and as a result it becomes less effective at producing Thyroid Hormones, potentially leading to Hyperthyroidism.

What are Hashimoto's Disease Symptoms?
The main Hashimoto Disease symptoms are caused by the slowing down of your body's metabolism as a result of the reduced Thyroid Hormone. So as you would expect, they can be hard to notice and steadily get more obvious as the condition worsens. They are:
- An enlarged Thyroid, which results in a swollen looking neck (called a Goiter)
- Difficulty swallowing and breathing due to this Goiter
- Fatigue
- Modest Weight Gain
- Constipation
- Joint and Muscle Pain
- Feeling cold or more sensitive to cold
- Depression
- Dry, coarse hair
- Problems getting pregnant.
How do I find out if I have Hashimotos Disease?
Usually the first symptom that people recognise for Hashimoto Disease is a swollen Thyroid Gland (or neck). However, to make sure that you do have Hashimotos, your Doctor will normally do a Thyroid Function Test and/or an Antibody Test. This involves taking a Blood sample and sending it to be tested for various Hormones and Antibodies.
What is the best treatment for Hashimoto Disease?
The normal Hashimoto's Treatment is to take regular doses of synthetic Thyroid Hormone, usually in a tablet form. This replaces the hormones that your body can no longer make and usually needs to be taken for the rest of your life.
But what about Natural Therapies?
We believe that it makes sense to not only treat the symptoms (low Thyroid Hormones), but to also improve your overall health ands most importantly Autoimmune system. This is usually done through both Herbal Remedies and an improved diet plan. Find out more by viewing the separate therapies below.
