(Including Graves’ disease / Basedow’s disease / exophthalmic goiter, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, iodine-related goiter, and non-toxic thyroid enlargement)
A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland. It may occur with an overactive thyroid, underactive thyroid, autoimmune thyroid disease, iodine imbalance, thyroid nodules, or inflammation. This protocol is designed as an umbrella approach to support the thyroid broadly while allowing treatment to be adjusted according to whether the thyroid is overactive, underactive, or autoimmune-related.
Primary Remedies
Selenium
- Broad thyroid support across most types of goiter.
- Supports thyroid hormone metabolism.
- May reduce inflammation and thyroid antibody activity.
- Appropriate whether thyroid is overactive, underactive, or autoimmune.
Autoimmune Formula
- Supports immune modulation and inflammatory balance.
- Particularly useful where goiter is associated with Graves’ or Hashimoto’s.
- Good general support when autoimmune involvement is suspected.
Thyroid-Specific Support (choose according to bloodwork)
Thyroid O
Use if OVERACTIVE thyroid / Graves’ disease
- Bugleweed is traditionally used to calm excessive thyroid activity.
- Valerian supports the nervous system and hyperthyroid symptoms.
Thyroid U
Use if UNDERACTIVE thyroid / hypothyroid goiter
- Supports thyroid hormone production and nourishment of the thyroid gland.
Important
- Do not use Thyroid U in Graves’ disease / hyperthyroidism due to iodine content.
- Do not assume iodine is needed unless deficiency or hypothyroidism is identified.
