Thyroid disorders have become one of the fastest-growing health conditions in America, affecting over 20 million people. While modern treatments focus on drugs and surgery, eastern therapies like acupuncture can effectively manage thyroid issues. Furthermore, the thyroid acupuncture solution is exceptionally safe and effective because it regulates and stabilizes hormone imbalances naturally, without additional medicines.
What Is The Thyroid Gland?
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. It plays a significant role in maintaining metabolism, energy, hormone regulation, body weight, and blood calcium levels. Specifically, it does this by producing hormones that transform food into energy. The two primary hormones generated by the thyroid gland (T4 and T3) make up the thyroid hormone.
Types of Thyroid Conditions
First, hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces too much thyroxine. Second, hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid, a condition caused by too little hormone.
Hyperthyroid symptoms include:
- Weight loss
- Increased heart rate, blood pressure, palpitations
- Muscle weakness
- Shorter or lighter menstrual periods
- Development of a goiter (an enlargement in the neck)
Hypothyroid symptoms include:
- Lethargy, depression, or slower mental processes
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Reduced heart rate
- Numbness or tingling in the hands
- Constipation
Hormone Imbalance and Thyroid Disease
Hormones are messengers in the body responsible for regulating essential functions like sleep, emotional health, reproduction, physical growth, metabolism, mental clarity, body temperature, the immune system, and energy levels. Unfortunately, hormone imbalances cause these body systems to malfunction, leading to many problems. And while hormone fluctuation is a natural occurrence, long-term imbalances are not.
Thyroid Acupuncture Solution
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), most diseases develop from imbalances in the energies of the body and spirit. “Qi,” defined as life force energy, flows along pathways through the body known as “channels.” Importantly, Qi must flow freely and remain vibrant to nourish and sustain health. However, if Qi becomes deficient or blocked, organs will not get the nourishment they require, resulting in disease.
The thyroid acupuncture solution involves inserting hair-thin, sterile, single-use needles into the skin at points on the body that direct and influence Qi flow. By targeting specific channels and organs, an acupuncture practitioner can reduce the disruption of Qi responsible for causing health disorders like thyroid disease. In this way, acupuncture can relieve symptoms, improve energy, boost metabolism, and improve quality of life.
Acupuncture Relieves Thyroid Conditions
According to the American Acupuncture Council, acupuncture can treat thyroid disease by:
- Lowering hormone levels in patients with hyperthyroidism
- Increasing hormone levels in people with hypothyroidism
- Reducing sensitivity to stress and pain
- Promoting relaxation
- Improving joint mobility and reducing muscle stiffness by increasing blood circulation
- Boosting adenosine production to reduce pain sensitivity
- Reducing inflammation by releasing vascular and immunomodulatory factors
Lifestyle Changes for Thyroid Conditions
Along with acupuncture, specific lifestyle changes can help manage thyroid conditions. For example, a diet rich in calcium, protein, magnesium, and iodine helps support thyroid function. In addition, certain foods should be limited, as they can interfere with thyroid hormone production. These include cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, soy, and peanuts. Finally, stress-reducing activities like yoga or tai chi can also help.

What our Clients are Saying
Last year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. My symptoms were severe foggy brain, poor concentration and unexplained weight gain. I was put on hormones, which helped a bit, but still could not shake these problems. Research led me to Raleigh Acupuncture. Jade was amazing. Her treatments totally made my brain work again. And the weight is coming off. Jade is kind and patient. She understands what I’m going through. I highly recommend Jade and Raleigh Acupuncture.
