Greetings friends! After struggling with an autoimmune flare, I'm finally getting my thyroid labs headed in the right direction. Due to several triggers that were out of my control, (including covid) I've been having a rough autoimmune flare for a few months now. 20 years ago I put my hyperthyroidism into remission by taking a professionally formulated tincture made of lemon balm, bugleweed, and motherwort. It was so effective it lowered my thyroid...and also lowered my breastfeeding 1 yr old's thyroid. I had been instructed by two integrative MDs that it was safe to continue taking my thyroid tincture while I was nursing. Well, we are proof that 1. herbs work and 2. it's not safe to nurse while taking this combo of herbs. So when I encountered hyperthyroidism 20 years later, I knew what would work. Several folks expressed concern that it may not work. I assured them it would. A month after adding the tincture of lemon balm, motherwort, lemon balm, in addition to aceytl-L-carnitine to my regimen, my thyroid labs are all headed in the right direction.

I'm limiting my coffee consumption...after that first cup of joe...which I adore...I'll have a cup of my matcha blended with other medicinal herbs I'm taking.
