ThyroidMore Tonic helps correct a malfunctioning thyroid which is yielding low thyroxin results (hypothyroidism, myxoedema), and addresses the many corresponding symptoms of a soft goitre, apathy, lethargy, slow pulse, low temperature, high cholesterol, weight gain, depression, dry skin, brittle hair, husky voice, heavy menstruation, etc.. This tonic is applicable to both primary (due to the thyroid itself) and secondary (due to pituitary) hypothyroidism. Inadequate iodine supply is an important cause. Many herbs have this constituent and are in this tonic; but it has been found that too much iodine in the body is contraindicated. Certain drugs can bring this condition on, as also foods (see below), along with other causes. Where specific conditions are a problem the treatment also recommends other tonics to be taken alongside the ThyroidMore Tonic for a short time (1-2 months), e.g.WeightLess Tonic (to increase the metabolism), Menorrhagia Tonic (to reduce and regulate heavy periods), Cholesterol-Less Tonic, DepressionLess Tonic, EnergyMore Tonic. ThyroidMore Tonic is also useful for children with this condition.
