Anatomy of the Thyroid
The thyroid gland is situated in the neck at the
base of the throat in front of and on each side of the thyroid cartilage
of the larynx. It has the shape of a butterfly with the two wings being
represented by the left and right lobes. The sole function of the thyroid
is to make a hormone that has an effect on nearly all tissues of the body
where it increases cellular activity. The function of the thyroid
therefore is to regulate the body's metabolism. The thyroid gland
constitutes about 0.5 percent of the total human body weight, but it holds
about 25 percent of the total iodine in the body, which is obtained from
food and water in the diet.
Functions of the Thyroid
The thyroid secretes essential hormones that control
metabolism and the growth and function of almost every organ and system in
the body. The influence of the thyroid is important, as it affects heart
rate, cholesterol levels, body weight, energy level, muscle strength, the
condition of the skin, vision, menstrual regularity, mental state and a
host of other conditions.
If the gland releases too much hormone, the result
is a condition known as hyperthyroidism. If the gland secretes too little
hormone a condition known as hypothyroidism is the result. Symptoms can
appear quickly or may develop slowly.
Low thyroid conditions are epidemic today,
especially among women. Clinical tests often fail to detect
hypothyroidism, even in severe cases. Symptoms include cold hands and
feet, fatigue, constipation, cramps depression, sluggish metabolism, mood
swings, a hoarse voice, forgetfulness, intolerance to cold, weight gain,
fluid retention, low basal temperature, slow pulse, dry/brittle/thinning
hair, dry skin yellowish coloration on skin, and recurrent respiratory
infections.
According to a new study by the University of
Colorado, an estimated 13 million Americans may have undiagnosed thyroid
problems. Research shows that low thyroid levels can raise cholesterol
levels, thus raising the threat of a heart attack. It is estimated that
hypothyroidism now exists in as much as 70% of the American population.
Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid gland becomes
overactive and produces too much thyroid hormone. The signs and symptoms
resulting from an overactive thyroid include: irritability/nervousness,
sleep disturbances, muscle weakness/tremors, irregular menstrual periods,
heat intolerance and weight loss.
After years of seeking an effective product for
thyroid conditions, Växa is proud to present its Thyroid Formula.
This blend delivers homeopathic remedies, selected herbs a variety of
nutrients and essential trace minerals that help maintain healthy levels
of thyroid hormone. These ingredients work synergistically on thyroid
function. Rather than adding hormones to your body from an outside source,
Växa's Thyroid Formula stimulates the thyroid gland to produce
normal amounts of thyroid hormone again.
Växa's Thyroid Formula gives a boost to the
thyroid, which in turn increases metabolism and energy levels. This
formula is a rich source of iodine and contains iron, calcium and zinc.
Växa's Thyroid Formula is a combination of
the following herbs:
Bayberry (Myrica Cerifera) is a
stimulating astringent that raises the vitality of the system. It improves
circulation and is also a strengthening hormones balancer.
Kelp is an abundant source of natural
vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is a nutritional source that is
used to promote healthy glandular functions by regulating the thyroid. The
large amounts of iodine found in kelp are important in the treatment of an
under-active thyroid. Consequently, kelp may contribute to weight loss if
the weight gain is directly related to thyroid disorders. Through the
regulation of thyroid function there is an improvement in all the
associated symptoms.
Black Walnut is rich in organic iodine
and manganese that nourishes and strengthens thyroid function, helping to
improve a sluggish metabolism.
Mullein (Verbascum Densiflorum) is a
demulcent, anodyne, anti-inflammatory herb, it contains iron, magnesium,
potassium, sulfur and calcium phosphate. Mullein covers and protects
tissues and reduces swelling in glands.
Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) Clinical tests
have revealed ginseng's ability to support the body's capacity for work.
Some studies also suggest that ginseng may also reduce activation of the
adrenal cortex, the gland that releases hormones in response to stress,
and reduce the negative effects of stress on the thymus gland. It impedes
damage to adrenals and thyroid gland.
The homeopathic constituent of the formula include
Lycopus virginicus, Ignatia, Spigelia, Iodum, Spongia tosta, Baryta
carbonica, Ammonium muriaticum, Fucus, Thyroidinum, Badiaga, Calcarea
