how to control hyperthyroidism - #24066
I am struggling with some really frustrating issues lately. A few months back, I started feeling super anxious and losing weight – like, 10 pounds in just a couple of weeks, no joke! I went to the doctor and turns out I have hyperthyroidism. Since then, I’ve been on medication, but I feel like it’s not enough. I’m still experiencing those shaky hands and heart palpitations. It’s really annoying because I’m trying to focus at work, you know? I keep hearing about natural methods and I wonder “how to control hyperthyroidism” with Ayurveda since I’ve been feeling quite drawn to holistic approaches. I read a bit about how certain herbs and dietary changes can help balance things out, but I'm kinda lost on the details and what specific things I should try. Anyone here had success with lifestyle changes or natural remedies? Any advice would be awesome, especially about what foods to eat or avoid. Just feeling desperate to get this under control, y'know?

guggul side effects liver - #7648
I’ve been considering using guggul for weight management and overall health, but I came across some information about potential guggul side effects on the liver. This has made me hesitant, and I’d like to know more about its safety and whether it’s suitable for long-term use. From what I understand, guggul is a powerful Ayurvedic herb known for its benefits in reducing cholesterol, managing weight, and even supporting joint health. However, I’ve read a few articles that suggest it can strain the liver if used improperly or in high doses. Is this true, and how common are these side effects? I already have a history of mild fatty liver, so I’m particularly cautious about anything that could worsen my liver health. Are there specific signs I should watch out for if I decide to start using guggul? For example, can it cause symptoms like nausea, jaundice, or fatigue? Another question I have is about dosage. What’s the safe limit for daily guggul consumption, and should it always be taken under the supervision of an Ayurvedic practitioner? Are there certain formulations of guggul that are gentler on the liver compared to others? Lastly, are there any Ayurvedic or dietary measures that can help counteract the potential liver-related side effects of guggul? For instance, would combining it with herbs like turmeric or amla provide additional liver protection? If anyone has experience using guggul, especially if you’ve had pre-existing liver concerns, I’d love to hear your story. Did it help you achieve your health goals without causing issues, or did you experience any problems along the way?
