Any herbal remedy for myxoedma?!
Question:
Any herbal remedy for myxoedma?
Answers: Yes, there are a number of herbal remedies that may be helpful, but it is always best to seek advice from a qualified herbalist experienced in treating this condition.
Personally, I have treated a number of patients successfully, some avoiding medication altogether, and a few have been able to stop the medication they were previously taking.
This should not be done without a great deal of care and support and monitoring - never without supervision.
Herbs that can be helpful include Fucus (Bladderwrack), Dioscorea (Wild Yam) and Peumus boldo (Boldo), but do seek advice - everyone is different, and people respond best to a customised mix of herbs prescribed by a herbalist.
Your diet can also play a part, and there are a number of foods that can suppress thyroid function, such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and a few others.
I hope that this is helpful and that you find success. Source(s):

http://www.mynsp.com/olga Fucus vesiculosis, also called Bladderwrack or kelp, is a sea vegetable which is a prime source of iodine - crucial in preventing thyroid problems. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years, especially in traditional Chinese medicine. Apart from its beneficial effect on thyroid functioning, it is also used as a metabolic stimulant and can be found in many slimming remedies. When using kelp medicinally, always make sure that it is sourced by a reputable and trusted company. Kelp harvested from the beach or near to the coast may be contaminated with industrial waste, sewerage, lead, mercury or other toxins. Kelp used in Native Remedies Thyroid Assist has been harvested only from uncontaminated areas and screened for the presence of toxins, heavy metal sand contamination.
Avena sativa is derived from the wild oat plant and is a well known restorative and nerve tonic, used to treat depression, low libido and lack of energy, as well as hypothyroidism. More recently it has also been shown to be effective in reducing high cholesterol levels.
Coleus forskohlii is a well respected and often difficult to obtain Ayurvedic (Indian) remedy, traditionally used to treat high blood pressure. It also acts to stimulate the thyroid to release thyroid hormones and is therefore beneficial in the treatment of hypothyroidism.
