Hyperthyroidism is such a widely-spread condition and at the same time such a mysterious one. Modern medicine can easily diagnose it, but can rarely treat it without intrusive surgical interventions. This is why more and more patients look for home remedies for hyperthyroidism. Here we want to share with you a few remedies for hyperthyroidism that have helped people and are used by herbal doctors around the world. Before following any home remedy here, we advise you to consult with a doctor. After thorough research, I personally believe that hyperthyroidism, as well as all mysterious thyroid problems, are caused by viruses.

The True Hyperthyroidism Cause
In his book, Medical Medium, Anthony Williams explains that hyperthyroidism is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). In fact, he says that 95% of all thyroid-related conditions are caused by EBV, which he calls “the thyroid virus”. According to him, thyroid conditions triggers are:
- EBV toxic load in the liver
- Long-term thyroid medication
- Liver toxicity: pesticides, insecticides, solvents, and heavy metals in the liver
- Exposure to mold, carpet cleaners, or fresh paint
- High-fat diet and processed foods
All these triggers lower the immune system, allowing for EBV to create havoc. But there’s more. When we’re exposed to extreme stress over a long period of time it’s when the EBV virus starts to become active and attacks the thyroid.
Stress is the ultimate immune system suppressor.
Stress is the main trigger for all medical conditions. When we’re under severe stress over prolonged periods of time, our body is in a fight or flight state. This means, it cannot tend to all the other body functions properly, because it has to protect you and stay on guard 24/7. Adrenaline and cortisol levels are so high, that the natural immunity is lowered offering all the pathogens that live inside your body have the perfect living conditions. When you worry you do make it double. But there are simple and effective home remedies for stress.
Know that hyperthyroidism can be cured, but be willing to change bad habits and take full responsibility for your health. You can heal yourself! Now let’s get to the natural remedies for hyperthyroidism, natural supplements, and foods that help alleviate and cure this condition.

It does have an impact on the good functioning of the thyroid, all body parts are connected with one another!

The Spiritual Lesson Behind Hyperthyroidism
The thyroid is a beautiful butterfly-shaped gland located in the middle of the neck. It is directly related to the throat chakra. That is the chakra of communication and speaking our truth. What are the things that you actually say about yourself? Are these things loving? Do they speak the truth about you? If not, are you willing to change them with what is actually true?
Speaking only the truth and it will set you free
You are of divine nature, unconditionally supported and loved by the universe. Yes, that is actually you! It only takes a bit of courage to speak out how you truly feel. The truth will set you free. And if you want to get to your truth, you first need to see the untruth that’s dwelling inside. Seek the truth in your heart, that loving voice of intuition. Tune in to your intuition, because that’s where the truth lies.
Go into the woods, enjoy a walk barefoot in the park, and get a pet. Anything that reconnects you with your true nature is of tremendous help. Nature is an amazing therapy for all diseases, including hyperthyroidism. It lowers stress because it teaches us to be more grounded in the present moment.
Be like wind, be like water and be like earth, allow for what is without putting up resistance.
Shout all the negative out and let it go! It’s only up to you to heal, once you take responsibility to speak your truth! Don’t hold on to what doesn’t serve you. You are a truly blessed being, don’t forget that! Healing comes naturally when you’re naturally yourself. Be that person you intended to be when you incarnated on Earth, we all need you.
