Problems with your thyroid? This article enumerates some of the best crystals for healing thyroid problems.
The thyroid is a hormonal gland that regulates the entire energy metabolism of carbohydrates, protein, and fat as well as controlling respiration and blood circulation. This gland mainly secretes 2 hormones that contain iodine.
Additionally, the thyroid gland is also responsible for body growth, overall development throughout childhood, bone generation as well as the sexual requirements and the emotional state of adults.
The thyroid gland, in turn, is regulated by the pituitary gland, ensuring that a suitable number of hormones are produced. Thus, any disturbances of the thyroid gland function can have an effect on the whole body because of the many side effects of its hormones.
An overactive thyroid can be caused by high levels of iodine, benevolent cysts in the gland, impaired regulation of the pituitary gland, acute inflammation, or Graves diseases (an autoimmune disease) and can lead to increased inner unrest, nervousness, and irritability.
These are accompanied by:
- Debilitating tiredness
- Raised body temperatures
- Tremors
- Visual disturbances
- Heavy perspiration
- Loss of body weight
- Negative attitudes towards sex
- Goiter
- Diarrhea
An underactive thyroid, on the other hand, is caused by extreme lack of iodine, chronic inflammation, disturbances in the pituitary gland, side-effects from medicines, and malignant cysts. It shows up as:
- General physical weakness
- The puffy appearance of the face
- Low temperature
- Excess weight
- Goiter
- Dry, brittle hair, skin, and nails
In addition, a reduced heart rate, lowering or mental or emotional processes, and slowed down metabolism can also occur in both types.
All diseases of the thyroid gland need to be diagnosed and treated by a qualified doctor. For supplementation, you can also try crystal therapy to ease some of the symptoms of thyroid problems.
Here are some of the best crystals for healing thyroid problems.
Crystals For Healing Thyroid Problems
Aquamarine
This soothing crystal is effective with both low and high thyroid activity. Apparently, it can harmonize the regulatory functions of your pituitary gland, thus relieving symptoms of thyroid problems.
You simply need to place a tumbled stone or a slice of aquamarine on your forehead. Also, you can just wear it as a pendant or a necklace. Just as effective is to take 4 – 6 drops of gem essence for 3 times a day or prepare a 100 – 200ml gem water to be taken in small sips throughout the day.
Rock Crystal
Rock crystal, like aquamarine, can harmonize the functioning of your thyroid gland. This crystal, however, seems to have a more direct effect and is more effective when you place it in q form of a tumbled stone on your throat or when you wear as a necklace or pendant.
In addition, you can also take 5 – 9 drops of rock crystal gem essence for 3 times a day or prepare 200 – 300ml of rock crystal water to be taken in small sips throughout the day.
Amber
Amber is a potent crystal that is particularly helpful when you have an underactive thyroid gland. It improves the absorption of iodine through the intestine and the iodine digestion within your thyroid.
For this reason, it has been applied since ancient times in cases of goiter caused by iodine deficiency. You can wear this crystal as a pendant or necklace. As an alternative, you can also take 5 – 9 drops of amber gem essence for 3 times a day or prepare 200 – 300ml of amber water to be taken in small sips throughout the day.
Ocean Jasper + Blue Chalcedony
The ocean jasper and blue chalcedony can primarily help with an overactive thyroid gland and offers a relieving effect on Graves’ disease. These stones can normalize body temperature, visual disturbances, perspiration, tremors, heart rate, and eliminate fear and nervousness.
You can wear both stones as a pendant or necklace for the best effect. Alternatively, you can take 5 – 7 drops of gem essence for 3 times a day or prepare 200 – 300ml gem water to be taken in small sips over the course of the day.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli is a premier stone of the throat chakra. Its gentle blue hues can have a harmonizing effect on both under and overactive thyroid glands. Like aquamarine, lapis lazuli can also have a harmonization effect on your pituitary gland.
You simply need to place a tumbled stone or a slice or section of lapis lazuli crystal on your forehead. Also, you just wear it as a pendant or necklace for long-term effects. Alternatively, take 3 – 7 drops of lapis lazuli essence for 3 times a day or prepare 100 – 200ml of lapis lazuli gem water to be taken in small sips throughout the day.
