Thyroid Health
Natural therapies to assist you in finding balance.

- Drink, bathe, and cook with filtered water.

- Coconut oil (1-3 tablespoons per day of pure virgin coconut oil).
- Avoid fluoride (tap-water, and fluoridated toothpaste) and chlorine. Chlorine, fluorine, and iodine are chemically related. Chlorine and fluorine block iodine receptors in the thyroid gland, resulting in reduced iodine-containing hormone production and (potentially) in hypo-thyroidism. In some studies, dis-ease of the thyroid has been linked to fluoridate water.

- Yoga, stretching, and deep breathing.
