Boost Your Immunity and Support Thyroid Health Naturally

Support and Restore Your Immune System

Our immune system serves as our body’s armor, protecting us from disease and sickness. However, it can be weakened by chronic stress caused by exposure to chemicals and consumption of nutrient-depleted, highly addictive foods. This stress can lead to inflammation, aches and pains, frequent colds and flu, viral and bacterial infections, autoimmune disorders, and more.

Our CHF #9 Spleen +, an immune system support and restoration formula designed to nourish key components of your immune system, including the thymus gland, spleen, and pituitary gland. This formula assists in the body’s natural process of shedding old cells and producing new ones, thereby promoting overall immune health.

The spleen plays a vital role in manufacturing healthy red and white blood cells and platelets, which in turn support a robust immune system. A well-functioning immune system is crucial in identifying and combating unwanted invaders such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi.

Understanding Thyroid Health

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the lower part of your neck. Its primary function is to secrete hormones, notably triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), which deliver energy to the cells of the body. Proper thyroid function is essential for maintaining a healthy metabolism and overall energy levels.

Common Thyroid Issues:

· Hypothyroidism: An underactive thyroid that fails to produce enough thyroid hormone.

· Hyperthyroidism: An overactive thyroid that produces too much thyroid hormone.

· Goiter: An enlarged thyroid.

· Thyroid Nodules: Lumps in the thyroid gland that can be benign or malignant.

· Thyroid Cancer: Malignant thyroid nodules or tissue.

· Thyroiditis: Inflammation of the thyroid, which can lead to temporary changes in thyroid function.

By adding CHF #31 Thyroid to your daily regimen, you may support the return of healthy energy levels and a balanced metabolism, potentially leading to a healthier, happier lifestyle. This formula is designed to assist in regulating thyroid function, which is crucial for maintaining overall metabolic health.

Empower Your Immune System and Thyroid Health

By nourishing your immune system and supporting your thyroid with the right nutrients, you can fortify your body’s defenses and maintain balanced energy levels. Our CHF #9 Spleen + and CHF #31 Thyroid are designed to help you achieve and maintain optimal health, giving your body the armor and energy it needs to stay strong and resilient.

Essential oil #06 cardamon has been used in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine for well over 3000 years. It was used especially for pulmonary disease, urinary, fevers and digestive complaints. Cardamon is also an expensive domestic spice. Essential oil #06 cardamom comes from the seeds of this reed-like herb plant which can grow up to 4 meters high.

What’s Up Doc?

When should I have my thyroid labs done?

Hypothyroidism, Autoimmune Thyroiditis (Hashimotos), and Hyperthyroidism are all autoimmune conditions that should be evaluated and monitored for especially if you have any of these conditions in your family history. It is valuable to get your labs checked once a year to assess for any changes from your baseline. Prevention is knowing your baseline before any changes occur in your body system.

Symptoms to watch for that could express concern:

Hypothyroidism – fatigue, lethargy, or feeling cold, brittle nails, constipation, dry skin, enlarged thyroid, high cholesterol, irritability, sensitivity to cold, sexual dysfunction, slow heart rate, sluggishness, weight gain, or irregular uterine bleeding

Hyperthyroidism- excess sweating, excessive hunger, fatigue, heat intolerance, or restlessness, mood swings, nervousness, or panic attack, abnormal heart rhythm, fast heart rate, or palpitations, difficulty falling asleep or insomnia, irregular menstruation or short and light menstruation, hyperactivity or irritability, abnormal protrusion of eyes or puffy eyes, weight loss, diarrhea, hair loss, muscle weakness, tremor, or warm skin.

If you have any concerns about yourself we would love to look at your labs as a starting point and help you manage your health to feel your best.
