Treatment with folk remedies of nodular goiter of the thyroid gland in women and men

Treatment of goiter with dried cherry bark

One of the most effective remedies for treating thyroid goiter is dried cherry bark. Unlike the bark of a living tree, dried cherries are richer in nutrients. The reason lies in the following: through the wood and bast (tubular formations in the structure of a tree, analogues of blood vessels in animals) of a living tree, useful substances are transported from roots to leaves in both directions. There is a constant flow of fluids in the tree’s body.

When a tree dies due to natural causes, most of the nutrients and minerals are transported to the inner layers of the bark and remain there. It is for this reason that their content in the structure of a dried tree is maximum.

Search and collection of dried cherry bark

When searching for suitable bark, you should follow several rules:

• Raw materials must be sought only in areas remote from highways and residential areas. Tree tissue (especially foliage and inner layers of bark) have high absorbent properties. Toxic substances and other harmful elements are absorbed by wood. If you prepare a tincture or infusion from such bark, there is a high risk of getting poisoned and doing more harm to the body than helping.
• Cherry prefers deciduous or mixed forests. It grows most rapidly and abundantly in areas with a high content of black soil.
• When searching for cherries, preference should be given to single trees. Cherries cannot dry out in entire glades. In this case, the cause of the death of the tree most likely lies in disease.

Collecting dried cherries is quite difficult for both beginners and experienced herb collectors:

• Under no circumstances should you collect bark from a tree that is too richly covered with moss. If the trunk and branches are covered with more than 50% moss (approximately), the raw material will not be suitable. Liver mosses parasitize trees, taking away all the nutrients. This means that it was the moss, and not age, that caused the death of the tree;
• When cut, the bark should give off a cherry aroma. If there is a smell of mushrooms or mustiness, such bark is dangerous;
• The color of the bark should range from dark brown to fiery red. If it is lighter, it means that the cherry has not yet dried out, and the beneficial substances have not accumulated in the required quantity;
• There should be no leaves on the tree. If there are still branches covered with leaves on the cherry tree, it has not yet completely dried out. Such raw materials are not suitable for harvesting;
• The inner layers of the bark should not be covered with a white coating. If plaque is present, it means the tree died as a result of parasitic or bacterial infection. The whitish substance is a waste product of saprophytic organisms (consuming rotting products). Their secretions are a strong toxin and allergen;
• The procurement of raw materials should be done from early spring to late autumn. In winter, you need to be very careful, because it is extremely difficult to determine whether a tree has completely dried out or not;
• It is not worth collecting raw materials from a tree that has dried out more than 7 years ago. Most of the beneficial substances are destroyed, the cherry tissues become loose and turn into dust;
• Young cherries dry out for natural reasons very rarely. Their inspection must be approached with special attention.

Collection and procurement technology:

• A longitudinal cut is made on the tree trunk;
• The top layer of bark (epidermis or cork, depending on the age of the tree) is removed. It is advisable to process parts of the trunk of different heights in this way;
• Internal tissues are examined. There should be no plaque, the color should be rich brown or bright red. The smell is natural, cherry. If at least one of the conditions is not met, such a tree cannot be processed;
• The top layer is completely cleaned. The fibers of the inner layers should be removed using top-down movements;
• The bark is dried in a dark and moisture-free place. As soon as the workpiece stops bending and breaks under physical impact, the raw material is ready for use.

How to treat nodular goiter with folk remedies

Traditional medicine is ready to offer a fairly large arsenal of folk remedies that can relieve symptoms, reduce the intake of synthetic hormones and medications, normalize the secretory activity of the gland, cure the disease and even avoid surgery. If nodular goiter is diagnosed, treatment with folk remedies will also be useful and effective, even if surgery is required.

Insufficient intake of iodine into the body is the main cause of the development of this disease. Thus, iodine deficiency leads to disruption of the secretory function of the gland, the development of degenerative and destructive changes in the tissues of the organ, therefore, medicinal herbs that contain large quantities of this element are used to treat thyroid goiter.

Folk remedies for nodular goiter include many different healing, medicinal herbs and herbal preparations, the composition of which depends on the degree of damage to the organ, the stage of the disease and the function of the gland. The following herbs are used to prepare tinctures and compresses: Japanese sophora, cocklebur, soapwort, evasive peony, Caucasian hellebore, marsh cinquefoil, white cinquefoil, mistletoe (white), angelica, St. John's wort, Rhodiola rosea.

Traditional medicine is ready to offer a fairly large arsenal of folk remedies that can alleviate symptoms and reduce the intake of synthetic hormones.

One of the simplest, most common and accessible methods used in the treatment of nodular goiter is the use of an iodine grid, and all that is needed for this is just a bottle of 5% iodine. The procedure is carried out daily before bedtime, and you must pay attention to the time it takes for the mesh to be absorbed. In the first days, the iodine network will disappear from the surface of the body quite quickly, but as the body becomes saturated with iodine, the network will be absorbed for more than a day.

Sea kale (kelp) will replenish iodine deficiency

Laminaria (the trivial name is seaweed) is a brown algae. The cells of this algae have a unique ability to absorb and accumulate huge amounts of iodine from seawater. Kelp contains many times more iodine than any other product. This product is an absolute leader.

Most severe pathologies of the thyroid gland begin with iodine deficiency in the body. For prevention, medications containing this element are prescribed, as well as a special diet.

Laminaria is a beneficial alternative to expensive iodine preparations. For preventive purposes, it is enough to consume 30-40 grams per day. If you are taking medications, consuming kelp will also not be superfluous.

Sea kale is especially effective in helping with hypothyroidism, when the thyroid gland cannot cope and produces less specific hormones than the body requires. Therefore, if you have hyperthyroidism, you should refrain from consuming seaweed.

In addition to replenishing iodine deficiency, kelp actively removes radioactive substances from the body, which play an important role in the mechanism of formation of thyroid diseases (goiter, etc.).

Other seafood to replenish iodine deficiency

In addition to kelp, other seafood is also rich in iodine. If a person has initial signs of a thyroid goiter, a euthyroid state (when the disease has not yet manifested itself, but the lesion is already forming), it is vital to include these products in your diet.

List of foods high in iodine:

• Silver hake. This fish is in second place after kelp in terms of iodine content. When preparing, it is important to follow the technology. Iodine compounds are extremely unstable to high temperatures. To preserve maximum benefits, hake should be cooked at a temperature just below 100 °C. Therefore, under no circumstances should you cook hake; it is better to steam it or bake it in the oven;
• Cod. Another type of fish rich in iodine. 100 grams contain 135 mcg of this important trace element. The best cooking method is baking at 65-70 degrees until done;
• Shrimps. Despite their modest size, these crustaceans are a real storehouse of iodine. There are 110 mcg of the element per 100 grams of product. The main method of preparation is boiling. 100 °C is harmful to iodine, but there is a way to avoid its destruction. To prevent this, the shrimp should be cooked for no more than one and a half to two minutes.

What is meant by nodular goiter of the thyroid gland?

A neoplasm that has an increased density relative to surrounding tissues and a certain change in structure is called a nodular goiter of the thyroid gland. Diagnosis of goiter is possible using ultrasound examination, computed tomography, as well as ordinary palpation, especially with significant growth of the node.

All neoplasms can be conditionally divided according to their activity. New growths in which there is practically no activity are called cold. Warm nodes are those with little activity and, accordingly, hot nodes are the most active.

With the growth of nodular goiter, the mass of thyroid tissue increases, which leads to increased formation of new or existing nodes. The reason for this is the lack of blood supply to the organ due to its mass. As a result, the follicles become deformed, which leads to the growth of a goiter.

As a rule, the further the disease progresses, the more nodes are formed, as a result of which a multinodular goiter is diagnosed. It poses a great danger to humans, since the presence of such a goiter can lead to the formation of a low-quality tumor. To avoid the formation of a goiter, you need to start treatment at the initial stage, when there is only one node.

Treatment of multinodular goiter with a conservative method is ineffective; basically, after some time, further growth of the nodes occurs.

One of the causes of diffusely toxic neoplasms is mental trauma. Treatment of thyroid goiter with folk remedies is more effective.

Diffuse toxic goiter is another manifestation of nodular goiter, the formation of which occurs after the appearance of autoimmune disorders. Diffusely toxic formations occur most often in middle-aged people, and are more common in women.

The cause of diffusely toxic neoplasms is the presence of mental trauma, infectious diseases against the background of disorders of the autoimmune system. Treatment of diffusely toxic formation in modern medicine is carried out by three methods: conservative drug therapy, surgery and treatment with radioactive iodine. All three methods of treating Graves' disease have certain contraindications and side effects. At the same time, treatment of diffuse toxic goiter with folk remedies does not have so many contraindications and side effects.

Selenium deficiency is another cause of thyroid disease

Selenium plays no less important role in the production of thyroid hormones than iodine.

Despite the fact that selenium does not directly participate in the synthesis of specific active substances (unlike iodine), it contributes to the transformation of some substances into others. The fact is that the process of hormone production itself is catalyzed (accelerated) by special substances - enzymes. Triiodothyroxine () is formed due to the transformation of the produced T4 hormone (tetraiodothyroxine) under the influence of a special enzyme iodothyronine deiodinase, the main component of which is the element selenium.

With a lack of selenium, the enzyme is produced in insufficient quantities, which also affects the synthesis of T3. As a result, pathologies of the thyroid gland develop with decreased levels of hormones (hypothyroidism).

Selenium is also part of enzymes that destroy hydrogen peroxide and bind free radicals. Due to this, the number of harmful oxidative processes occurring in the thyroid gland is reduced.

To compensate for selenium deficiency, it is important to include the following foods in your diet:

• Brazilian nut. The fatty fruits of this plant are absolute record holders for the content of the element. They should be consumed with caution, no more than 2-4 fruits per day, to avoid excess selenium;
• Dates. Second in selenium content. It is not recommended to consume more than 15-20 pieces per day;
• Fried pork kidneys;
• Crayfish or lobster;
• White mushrooms.

Also among the available products are coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, garlic, etc.

The juice obtained from one potato is enough for one serving (about 50 ml). It is recommended to take the potato mixture three times a day with food due to the specific taste of the medicine.

   Potato juice

2. It is allowed to use a mixture of potato, beet, and cucumber juices. Or carrots, celery and potatoes.

Various vegetable juices can be very good sources of natural organic iodine.

For normal functioning of the thyroid gland, it is important that the body receives the required amount of iodine. Vegetable juices can help with this. Dandelion juice contains iodine, for this reason the plant is recommended for complex treatment of the thyroid gland.

To neutralize the bitterness from the leaves of the plant, they need to be soaked for 40-50 minutes in warm water. After this, you need to squeeze the juice out of the leaves using a meat grinder, mix with honey and drink 1/3 cup three times a day.

Parsley juice has stimulating properties. It is great for improving thyroid and adrenal function. You need to drink 2-3 tbsp. l. during the day, after adding honey to it.
