• Details the author’s successful treatment protocols for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism developed over more than 30 years of Ayurvedic practice

In this comprehensive guide for practitioners and those concerned with thyroid health, Marianne Teitelbaum, D.C., integrates the ancient medicine of Ayurveda with modern scientific findings to address the growing epidemic of thyroid disease.

Revealing how the thyroid is the victim of many factors that conspire to create ill health—and how many cases of thyroid disease go undiagnosed—Teitelbaum focuses not only on treating thyroid problems and symptoms but also on diagnosing them at their earliest, most reversible stages. She outlines the basic principles of Ayurveda, including pulse diagnosis, a key tool for early detection, and explains the successful treatment protocols she has developed over more than 30 years of Ayurvedic practice. She details the underlying reasons for thyroid malfunction, such as inflammation, malnutrition, and toxins, and how the thyroid is connected with the health of the rest of body, including the liver and gall bladder. She explores the Ayurvedic treatment of thyroid-related conditions, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism, offering guidance on the targeted use of herbs, specific dietary recommendations, proper detoxification, and Ayurvedic recipes. She also includes treatments and remedies for common symptoms of thyroid disease, including insomnia, depression, fatigue, and osteoporosis, as well as for luxurious hair growth and weight loss.

Based on the treatment of thousands of patients, this book also shares success stories of thyroid healing and the scientific studies that support the author’s Ayurvedic thyroid protocols. Offering an easy-to-follow yet comprehensive guide, Teitelbaum shows that optimum thyroid health as well as overall health are within everyone’s reach.

Healing Thyroid

I loved the audio. I ordered the book for reference. The book confirmed what I had believed. I saw a acupuncturist about 20 years ago and he was reading my pulse. He did inform me I had a liver issue but my blood work always came out normal. Now entering my 50’s all my Dr’s only had treated my symptoms in the past and now I can find my root cause! I have implemented just some changes in my life and I can feel a slight change. Thank you. Here’s to finding the root and to a better life!

Excellent, detailed and thorough information!

As a person born with a thyroid issue and have studied foods for years, I recently became certified In Ayurveda to understand more. This book further supports the needs to change our diet to feel our best. I especially appreciate the detailed food list as to why we need to avoid certain foods.

Great Information!

This book gives great information on not only the thyroid gland - it gives insight into hidden issues that the thyroid affects through interaction with other glands. There are also food suggestions and recipes for tonics. A great resource! I ordered it in print after listening.

Great Insight

I would recommend this to start anyone off on a healthy lifestyle and healing their body.

Everything I was looking for

This book was wonderful both as an Ayurvedic professional and a patient that has had to heal my hypothyroidism. It explains everything in such detail without getting the listener/reader lost. It is safe wisdom that is practical and accessible. I highly recommend it!

Healing the thyroid and the whole body

lots of good suggestions and the science to back it all up. I had to buy the hard copy for a reference book. I listened to this twice. So much information to retain. Trying a few new things for a couple months. Then I will add on.

Great insight into thyroid and whole body health

Excellent info about Ayurveda and thyroid's relationship to other organs. Reading was subpar... disinterested, disengaged, no inflections

Insightful

There is so much sense in this. I have hypothyroidism and have struggled with every single thing mentioned in the book. You never realize how all of it is linked together until someone makes sense of it all to you. Ayurveda is the most sensible approach to health I have seen.

Audiobook is great but I wish there was a pdf with all recipes

It’s been very helpful to listen to the book, but I am having a hard time to follow and save the recipes shared.

thyroid self help

very informative, speaks of balance, harmony in body , herbs to treat. I am very hopeful that this will help ke on my quest to better health and thyroid correction as well as improve my health overall.
