The thyroid gland may be a small part of the human body but the impact it has on the body can be tremendous. A lack of thyroid hormone, a condition known hypothyroidism, can lead to severe symptoms, including weight gain, tiredness, irritability, dry skin, brittle nails, hair loss, depression and headaches. It can even increase your odds for a stroke or heart attack.
The thyroid is an endocrine gland that is located in the lower front of the neck. It is shaped like a butterfly and produces thyroid hormones, which help to regulate many functions within the body. Primarily, however, it functions by regulating energy and metabolism but it affects almost every organ within the body.
There are medicines that many people use to regulate the thyroid levels within the body, including Armour Thyroid and Synthroid. Many people, however, choose to use a natural approach, including supplements, diet and exercise. It is possible to reset the thyroid, and the following offers the solutions to do so.
