Hyperthyroidism
Do you sometimes have a rapid heartbeat, trouble gaining weight, heat intolerance or tremors? Do those combine with anxiety, trouble sleeping, or light periods? If so, you might have hyperthyroidism. In this video, you are going to learn how to find and activate three acupressure points that have been helping people with hyperthyroidism for thousands of years.
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland situated in the front of the neck. It is responsible for metabolism, energy, hormone regulation, body weight, and calcium levels. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland becomes overactive and produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones causing symptoms like a racing heart, weight loss, heat intolerance, or nervousness.
Prolonged hyperthyroidism can strain the heart, leading to issues like persistent racing heart, atrial fibrillation, or even heart failure. It can also cause osteoporosis due to accelerated bone loss. In rare cases, it may result in a thyroid storm: severe symptoms like high fever, confusion, and a very fast heart rate. Without treatment, hyperthyroidism can significantly impact quality of life, causing fatigue, muscle weakness, unintended weight loss and affect vision problems.
Medical treatments focusing on drugs and surgery can be lifesaving, but they do not act to restore the natural balance of the body. That is where acupuncture point stimulation comes in. Acupuncture point stimulation has been used for thousands of years to help people with thyroid problems. A scientific study analyzing over 1,700 patients with thyroid problems found significant symptom relief and improved biomarkers when acupuncture point stimulation was used either on its own or alongside medical treatments. In this video, you will learn how to find and activate three acupressure points that are traditionally used to help people with hyperthyroidism.
