HYPOTHYROIDISM TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBAL FORMULATIONS | LOW ENERGY, MUSCLE ACHES, WEIGHT GAIN | LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND OFF OF THYROID MEDICATION

On February 15, 2013, patient TJ came in Agape Natural Health of Orange County seeking help for hypothyroidism. TJ suffers from hypothyroidism for nearly two years. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone. With a deficiency of thyroid hormones, it disrupts the heart rate, body temperature, and all aspects of metabolism. During TJ consultation with Dr. Huang, she expressed how hypothyroidism had slowed down her metabolic rate causing her to experience sweaty palms and feet, weight gain, low energy, and muscle aches. Based on the information that was discussed during the consult, Dr. Huang recommends acupuncture and herbal medicine to restore TJ’s health.

TJ began her acupuncture treatment and herbal supplements immediately. Within the first week of treatment, she felt better. She didn’t sweat as much and gained energy. After the first month of treatment, her sweating palms and feet, muscle aches, and energy had improved. By doing a combination of acupuncture and herbal supplements, it gradually restored her hormone balance. 

Due to the lack of thyroid hormone production, levothyroxine sodium medication is used to treat hypothyroidism by replacing or providing more thyroid hormone. With blood test run every three months, TJ thyroid test results improved every time. Her thyroid hormones reached within the normal range, allowing her physician to decrease her thyroid medication from 125 mcg to 75 mcg.

While TJ progressively continued her acupuncture treatment and herbal supplements, her body continued to heal itself. Every three months, her thyroid blood test results came back positive. Her thyroid was progressively getting better and staying within normal range. TJ primary physician continued to decrease her thyroid medication in increment of 25 mcg after every blood test result. 

By receiving acupuncture, it encourages the body to promote natural healing and improves functioning. Acupuncture helps the body’s internal organ to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. By consuming natural herbal medicine, it contains properties that promote, maintain and restore health by encouraging the body to strengthen the body’s own healing power. Ultimately, acupuncture and herbal medicine restored TJ’s body by promoting her thyroid hormones to function normally. By restoring her balance, TJ was taken off her thyroid medication to live a healthy lifestyle.
