Essential Oils for Thyroid Health

Essential Oils for Thyroid Health
One of the most frequent types of questions I receive from readers is “what oil do I use for ___?” (Fill in the blank.) Unfortunately, this is not a simple question, and protocol health solutions are something I am not comfortable with. 

Besides the legal and ethical reasons of offering a solution without a full wellness history, I am passionate about considering how each person’s unique biochemistry will interact with every essential oil’s versatile characteristics in a distinct and individualized way.

This video is a result of readers’ requests for information on using essential oils for thyroid health.

An overview of the topics of this 27-minute video include:
  • The caveats for using “an oil for that” and the synergism of essential oils.
  • Weeding out some of the top causes of thyroid hormone imbalances while alleviating symptoms. These include stress, blood sugar spikes, stealth infections, gastrointestinal and liver issues, environmental burdens, and immune dysfunction.
  • Several studies on using essential oils specifically for thyroid health including Satureja khuzestanica for hyperthyroid rodents, lemon and ginger oil to decrease salivary gland harm in thyroid cancer patients, an essential oil blend to relieve fatigue in hypothyroid patients, and clary sage oil for decreasing cortisol, enhancing mood, and impacting thyroid hormone.

All About Elemi Essential Oil - The Underdog Oil

All About Elemi Essential Oil - The Underdog Oil


In this post, I explore elemi essential oil, Canarium luzonicum, in detail.
 
I tend to befriend the underdog essential oils, and elemi oil is no exception.
 
Elemi essential oil is often overlooked because it is not well-known. Unlike members of its botanical family (Burseraceae), such as frankincense and myrrh, elemi doesn’t get the attention to its benefits it deserves.
 
In my article, I discuss its impressive pedigree and its unique synergy of a combination of molecules that merge the resinous oils with citrus characteristics (a high content of limonene).

Topics covered include its:
  • History
  • Characteristics and properties
  • Chemical makeup and other main constituents
  • The essential oil’s mechanisms of action
  • Applications
  • Uses
  • Safety information

Meet Sarah LoBisco

 
I believe that the body and mind can heal when given the right mindset and right tools.

I envision a world where people feel empowered to take action to reclaim their mental, emotional, spiritual, social, economic, and physical health and use them to live their highest potential! 

Essential oils, natural medicine approaches, my education in naturopathic and functional medicine, and various holistic mind-body healing methods, combined with complementing conventional medicine, are some of the tools in my toolkit to guide people on their journey to healing.

It was only when I struggled with my own physical and emotional pain that I became open to holistic and natural methods. That's when essential oils found me (through my mom) and when I found naturopathic and functional medicine... and the rest is history!

Join me on this journey, and you may just happen to uncover the best version of yourself in the process!

Explore my page, use the free resources, and become engaged!

If you have any questions or feedback, I'd be happy to hear from you.

Feel free to contact me and let me know how I can best support you with essential oils or any of the resources I offer, including my online course which you can find here.
