Hyperthyroidism Treatment with Acupuncture and TCM

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) occurs when your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxin. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body's metabolism, causing unintentional weight loss and a rapid or irregular heartbeat.

Several treatments are available. Alan Chen believes Hyperthyroidism patients have chronic sleep and stress issues. He uses herbal formulas to reduce stress levels, also and improve energy and sleeping patterns. After 2 months of treatment, most patients will see improvements in their medical (hormonal) test reports. Lifestyle changes are advised also. Ultimately all cures come from within.

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain crucial hormones.

Alan Chen thinks Hypothyroidism is really about energy and sleep issues. Even patients on prescribed drugs still complain about problems with vitality, sleep, memory, and related issues. Alan found that many Hypothyroidism patients also suffer from depression and negative emotions. Digestion issues are often included.

This condition will take longer to treat. Normally it will take 2-3 months to make the patient's energy levels and emotional balance return to normal. Alan believes improved sleep is also critical for successful treatment of hypothyroidism.
