Improve your Endocrine Health with Acupuncture for Thyroid

Posted by Shasta Tierra on February 7th, 2018

The butterfly-shaped gland located low on the front of the neck, just below Adam’s apple is the gland that secretes thyroid hormone. The hormones produced by the thyroid gland aid in regulating your body’s metabolic rate which affects the functioning of your heart, digestive system, brain development as well as muscle control. If you encounter any or all of the following symptoms then there is a high possibility that your thyroid gland isn’t functioning properly:

  • Muscle weakness
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Constipation
  • Feeling excessive cold or hot
  • Muscle pain
  • Unexplained weight gain when you are not eating more food
  • Feeling depressed
  • Pale or dry skin
  • Digestive problems


When the thyroid gland in your body secretes the required amount of thyroid hormone, then the metabolic processes in your body operates most appropriately. The problem arises when the gland starts producing too less or too much of these hormones. This unbalanced secretion of the vital body chemicals has a drastic effect on your energy levels, body weight and also your mental health. Millions of people are now suffering from thyroid disease all over the world, and one of the most effective cure is acupuncture for thyroid.

One of the major components of the Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is a method that involves inserting very thin acupuncture needles at some specified pressure points in your body, and this technique is used to lessen pain. The Chinese believe that this method balances the flow of energy in your body but the Western practitioners believe that the various nerve, muscles and connective tissues in our body are stimulated by this technique which increases blood flow and hence aid in acting as a natural painkiller.

While the Western medicine treats thyroid problems with drugs and surgery, Eastern medicine aims to restore the balancing of thyroid hormone in our body with the aid of various herbal remedies, lifestyle changes, specialized exercises and acupuncture for thyroid. The acupuncture treatment is used to regulate the energy levels in your body by restoring the hormonal balance. This greatly helps to manage your sleep and solve your menstrual problems. The production of thyroid hormones is regulated by piercing the several powerful acupuncture points on the ear and body with the acupuncture needles. Before proceeding with the treatment of acupuncture for thyroid all of your health symptoms and previous illnesses and allergies are taken into account. The acupuncture for thyroid treatment optimizes your health by balancing the energy within your body.
