Thyroid is an important gland that is situated somewhere middle of the front side of the neck. Thyroid gland secrets some of the important hormones, known as 'thyroid hormones', that play important role in metabolism of the body. Metabolism is the process through which, the body utilizes the food to get energy. In a case of hyperthyroidism the thyroid gland produces more thyroid hormones than required by the body result of which, the body gets accelerated metabolism.
What causes Hyperthyroidism?
Graves disease, the most common cause, is an auto-immune disorder in which the body makes antibodies which stimulate cell activity inside the thyroid gland. Another common cause of the condition is when an enlarged thyroid becomes overactive becomes overactive (Toxic modular goitre).
Hypothyroidism is caused by varied causes. It could stem from a singular cause or a mixture of various causes such as complications arising from thyroid gland diseases, afflicted brain activities, exposure to medical treatments, and autoimmune disorders. It is common knowledge that hypothyroidism can arise from a chronic thyroid disease known as Hashiloto’s thyroiditis. This ailment is characterized by thyroid glands that are inflamed or enlarged. This inflammation can be responsible for the brutal damaging of the thyroid cells if it is not attended to early enough and on time. The reason the thyroid cells are damaged is because of the body’s antibodies attacking the thyroid cells and tissues in the body instead of functioning as a protector.

The thyroid gland is situated at the base of the throat and plays a major role in the regulation of the body´s energetic metabolism. In normal conditions the thyroid gland produces and releases two important hormones with role in the cell metabolism; they induce the transformation of oxygen and calories from food in energy needed by the organism.
Treatment of Hyperthyroidism
Myxedema coma is a medical emergency that occurs when the body's level of thyroid hormones becomes extremely low.
If a serious illness or infection triggered your hypothyroidism, your thyroid function most likely will return to normal when you recover.
Sea-greens are useful in regulating the production of thyroid hormones and helps in combating the condition.

Another herb that is very useful for treating Graves’’ Disease and Hyperthyroidism is Bugleweed (Lycopus). Bugleweed has a considerable folk history for treating thyroid conditions, and modern research supports this use.
