Hypothyroidism doesn\u2019t get better on its own.<\/p>\nHypothyroidism doesn\u2019t get better on its own.<\/p>\n
It almost always gets worse over time, even if you use pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n
Not anymore, according to a new study published in the Suez Canal Veterinary Medical Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n The all-important hypothyroidism blood markers improved when their participants took this common herb.<\/p>\n Plus, it\u2019s cheap and available in all pharmacies and online.<\/p>\n So yes, it\u2019s worth trying if you suffer from hypothyroidism.<\/p>\n The researchers used 60 male albino rats, dividing them into six groups to explore the effects of different treatments on hypothyroidism.<\/p>\n The groups were organized as follows:<\/em><\/p>\n 2.\tThe ashwagandha group received 500 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of ashwagandha root extract, orally, for eight weeks.<\/p>\n 3.\tThe levothyroxine group received 20 micrograms per kilogram of body weight of levothyroxine, a typical synthetic hormone treatment for hypothyroidism, for eight weeks.<\/p>\n 4.\tThe hypothyroidism group that was induced with hypothyroidism using Propylthiouracil and received no further treatment.<\/p>\n 5.\tThe hypothyroidism+ashwagandha group had hypothyroidism and was treated with ARE for four weeks.<\/p>\n 6.\tThe hypothyroidism+levothyroxine group had hypothyroidism and was treated with levothyroxine for four weeks.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n The researchers checked how these treatments affected various blood parameters, such as red and white blood cell counts and platelet levels\u2014critical indicators of overall health.<\/p>\n This is what they found.<\/p>\n 2.\tThe ashwagandha and levothyroxine-treated groups showed marked recovery in red and white blood cell counts and platelet levels, showing that both treatments have beneficial effects on blood health in the context of hypothyroidism.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n Strangely, the researchers did not test the rats’ thyroid hormones, which is a rather huge oversight in this kind of study.<\/p>\n The improved blood parameters do, however, suggest that ashwagandha can treat many of the worst symptoms of hypothyroidism.<\/p>\n First, since we need healthy red blood cells to distribute iron and oxygen around our bodies, ashwagandha’s ability to repair red blood cells will tackle hypothyroidism symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and cognitive impairment.<\/p>\n Second, since our immune systems need white blood cells to function, an increase in these can restore healthy skin and hair and protect patients from constant infections.<\/p>\n The findings of this study are encouraging for those struggling with hypothyroidism. Ashwagandha supplements are widely available in health stores and online.<\/p>\n However, it is important to remember that they haven’t been tested on humans, so you must start with small amounts and observe your body’s reactions carefully.<\/p>\n\n
