The thyroid is the master control center for the metabolic function of every single cell in your body. Because of this, it has the power to disrupt every part of your body and produce serious changes in every aspect of your life including serious disease, mood, weight gain and low energy levels.

If you are living with hypothyroidism, or under-active thyroid–a condition that causes the thyroid glands to produce too few hormones, you may be living with reduced energy and increasing weight gain. Other symptoms may include depressive or irregular mood swings, slow heartbeats, cold sensitivity, and/or menstrual irregularities.

Essential oils are the oil of the plant from which they were extracted. They’re basically concentrated herbs! They contain all the goodness that protects and maintains the plant, and we can use them to help support our own bodies’ health and wellness.

Since our bodies are made of similar building blocks as plants, the essential oils work in our bodies in the same way that they would for the plant.

5 Essential Oils for an Underactive Thyroid

Lemongrass
This is classified as an enhancer and an equalizer oil. It helps with circulation, improved digestion and waking up the lymphatic system. It’s also great for Hahimoto’s Disease and Grave’s Disease. I recommend diffusing Lemongrass or applying it directly to the back of your neck for treatment.

Lavender
Lavender is an excellent essential oil to fight anxiety, hair loss, stress and insomnia. If you suffer from any of these issues, rub a bit of lavender oil on your pillow, use it in a diffuser, as a scalp massage with your shampoo, or add a couple of drops to a hot bath at night with Epsom salts (rich in magnesium that helps you rest) for a relaxing bedtime ritual.

Frankincense oil
Very effective as a sedative. It induces a feeling of mental peace, relaxation, satisfaction and spirituality. Ends anxiety, anger and stress, common mental symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Peppermint
More powerful than spearmint due to its much higher menthol content, but is also a stimulant with similar benefits.

Spearmint
Stimulates the secretion of hormones and keeps the metabolism activated and functioning properly. Also boosts the immune system by stimulating blood circulation.
