Can I use Shilajit for the treatment of thyroid problem?
Ok, so after reading your response about one herb being able to treat more than one thing in the body and not overwhelming my digestive system I read some more of the post here. After taking in your suggestions I would really like to keep my supplement intake down to a minimum/only taking one supplement if I could. Your ecommended Shilajit for the best anti-aging and overall well being. The only other herb I see I really may or may not need to take with Shilajit is Ashwagandha for my Thyroid according to the post I read….but after reading the benefits of Shilajit I think it may be enough for me to get control over my Thyroid Gland. Since I only want to take one herb if possible; will Shilajit be enough to treat my Thyroid without having to take Ashwagandha with it if I only want to take Shilajit? Or is Ashwagandha the only herb that can cure the Thyroid Gland?….taking in consideration that one herb can treat more than one thing at a time. Thanks again
Hello and greetings from Ayurvediccure.com
Thyroid disease is of two type’s hypothyroid and hyper thyroid; here the secretions from thyroid gland are decreased or increased respectively. Thyroid is the main gland of body controlling various important functions related to metabolism. Basal metabolic rate of body is under the strict control of thyroid secretions. When these secretions are decreased the BMR is decreased respectively and body gains weight, feels sleepy every time, fat starts depositing on body, heart rate falls, body feels cold and many such symptoms arise. Where as if thyroid secretions increase in blood the above listed symptoms turn opposite and BMR rises. Ashwagandha is the medicine of choice for thyroid problem. It regulates the basal metabolic rate of body which is affected by deviations of thyroid activity and a number of symptoms are produced in body. It is a powerful aphrodisiac and is a body tonic. It helps in relaxing brain cells and improves mental activity. It relieves the symptoms of sleep disturbance. You can use Shilajit with Ashwagandha to increase the efficiency of Ashwagandha and to increase body`s general power but generally the other symptoms are due to fluctuations in thyroid secretions and are well controlled with Ashwagandha only. So we recommend you to use Ashwagandha for your thyroid problems.
