What is the Thyroid?

• Located at the base of your neck along the
  windpipe is a small butterfly shaped gland, known
  as the Thyroid gland. It is a very important part
  of the endocrine system and produces two
  hormones, namely thyroxine (T3) and
  triiodothyronine (T4). These hormones regulate
  the speed of body cells and also control various
  metabolisms of the body.

What causes Thyroid Imbalances?

• Thyroid Imbalance can be caused due to a variety
  of factors
• Liver Toxicity Our body gets toxic substances
  from the food we eat, drinking water and from the
  environment. The liver is responsible for
  detoxing the body. At times, the liver does not
  function properly and is unable to eliminate all
  the toxins from the body. This leads to increases
  in the amount of toxins in the body and causes
  hormonal imbalances. One of the most common signs
  of toxicity is the presence of bags under the
  persons eyes.

Thyroid Imbalance can be caused due to a variety
of factors

• Stress and Tiredness Stress, anxiety and
  tiredness affect the working of the thyroid
  gland. When a person is overtired or is unable to
  get enough sleep, the hormonal balance of the
  body goes out the window. At least 6-8 hours of
  sound sleep is essential for the body to prepare
  itself for a new day. Adequate amount of sleep is
  essential for the body to rejuvenate itself and
  for the cells and tissues of the body to get
  repaired and replaced. When a person is stressed,
  the production of Cortisol hormone is increased
  in the body. Increased levels of cortisol puts
  you at an increased risk of high blood pressure,
  coronary heart disease and dysfunctioning of the
  immune system.

Thyroid Imbalance can be caused due to a variety
of factors

• Constipation and Food Intolerances Constipation
  is a much deeper problem than what many of us
  perceive. Not only does it cause pain during
  bowel movements it also leads to hormonal
  imbalances in the body. Improper functioning of
  the digestive system and food intolerances are
  also a leading cause of hormonal imbalances.
  Research has shown that people who suffer from
  food intolerances, especially gluten intolerance,
  usually do suffer from hormonal imbalances as
  well.

• Some other causes of hormonal imbalances include
  medicines that play around with the normal
  hormonal composition of the body such as
  contraceptives and medications to induce hair
  growth. Medications taken during pregnancy also
  cause hormonal imbalances. Hormonal replacement
  therapy also causes hormonal imbalances since
  estrogen is given to the person as a medication.
