One of the fastest
growing disorders in modern times is the malfunction of the Thyroid. The
statistics show that the Thyroid condition is the most under-diagnosed health
problem. There are millions of people suffering from Thyroid problems, but only
a few out of those are diagnosed and treated, see positive results by taking treatment of thyroid in homeopathy.
Thyroid is a small
butterfly-shaped gland, located in your neck, wrapped around the windpipe, and
is located behind and below the Adam's Apple area. The thyroid produces several
hormones, of which two are key: triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These
hormones help oxygen get into cells, and make your thyroid the master gland of
metabolism. Normally, of all the hormone produced by your thyroid, 80% will be
T4 and 20% T3. Once released by the thyroid, the T3 and T4 travel through the
bloodstream.
Purpose
of Thyroid Gland
The purpose of thyroid gland
is to help cells convert oxygen and calories into energy. The hypothalamus in
the brain releases something called Thyrotropin-releasing Hormone (TRH). The
release of TRH tells the pituitary gland to release something called Thyroid
Stimulating Hormone (TSH). This TSH, circulating in your bloodstream, is what
tells the thyroid to make thyroid hormones and release them into your
bloodstream.
