Here are three homemade and natural drinks that we can prepare in a simple way. With it we can improve thyroid function and alleviate symptoms, in particular hyperthyroidism.
For the same reason, people who suffer from hypothyroidism should avoid them or consult their doctor. These ingredients could make your symptoms worse.
1. Radish and lemon juice
This juice is especially recommended for people with hyperthyroidism. The radish is rich in goitrogenic, a chemical compound that blocks absorption of iodine.
As we already know, in hyperthyroidism this gland works excessively. Therefore, there is an overexcitation in which the iodine acts as a stimulant. It is necessary to regulate it and, therefore, certain vegetables can be of great help to us.
This radish-based drink will help us to inhibit the secretion of thyroid hormone. In turn, lemon will be useful to detoxify and mineralize our body. In addition, vitamin C will help us relieve headaches and strengthen the immune system.
Ingredients
- 2 radishes
- The juice of 1 lemon
- 1 glass of water (200 ml)
Preparation
- It’s really easy to prepare. The first thing we will do is wash the two radishes well and then cut them into two parts.
- Take them to the blender along with the glass of water to get a homogeneous juice.
- Now we just need to combine this drink with lemon juice.
- We warn you that the flavor is intense. Take it as a “natural medicine”. It is rich in vitamins and very detoxifying.
2. Infusion of mint and lemon balm
Melissa, lemon balm or lemon balm is one of nature’s most appreciated plants for its relaxing effect. In addition, it also stands out for its ability to decrease the activity of the thyroid gland.
- It is important not to consume this infusion in excess. It is enough to include it in our diet two or three times a week. If we drink more than one cup a day it could interfere with our medical treatment.
- The lemon balm, together with the mint, will help us regulate the nerves and enjoy a more relaxed rest. In addition, it also helps to inhibit the binding of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to the thyroid tissues.
However, if at any time you have doubts about whether to consume this infusion or not, consult your doctor. Now, if we drink about 3 cups a week it will not be a problem.
This infusion will come in handy to start the day free of tension and relaxed. If you have had a bad night it will also allow you to relieve the headache and any muscle overload.
Ingredients

3. Strawberry and peach juice
Third, we present a delicious juice. Tasty, nutritious, purifying and very suitable to regulate the thyroid function in case we suffer from hyperthyroidism.
