The thyroid also has its nerve centers, located in the neck, which control it and form a functional whole with it, even though they are outside the organ itself.
In the event of severe stress, loss of a loved one, divorce, fear, and other emotional upheaval, these nerve centers are activated. This leads to an overload of the gland and a sharp increase in hormone production, which can literally cause hyperthyroidism in a matter of hours.
This condition is characterized by tachycardia, nervousness, sweating, weight loss, and hair loss. The diagnosis is confirmed by blood tests for TSH, free T4 and free T3.
The good news is that the thyroid gland has the ability to recover and its tissues to renew themselves.
To start this regeneration process, it is necessary to reduce the strain on the organ. This requires a comprehensive approach.
In the case of hormone overproduction, tachycardia and anxiety, so-called thyrostatics are often prescribed. However, these drugs only suppress hormonal activity, without acting on the root cause: overactivation of nerve centers. Therefore, in addition to medication, it is also necessary that nervous tension is affected.
How to "restart" the thyroid and help it recover?
Here are some helpful tips:
1. Combine iodized salt with selenium-rich foods, such as:
Brazil nuts
