Naturally Healing Hashimoto’s Disease

What is Hashimoto’s Disease?

Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the thyroid. With the body at war with itself, Hashimoto’s disease causes the thyroid to not produce enough hormones in the body, or to stop hormone production in general. With a hormone imbalance, or the lack thereof, can have a variety of side effects on the body:

Weight gain

Fatigue

Depression

Inability to get warm

Joint and Muscle Pain

Irregular/heavy menstrual cycle

– Food sensitivities

– Iodine

– Hormone imbalances

– Birth control pills
