I'm a Nutritional Therapist,hopefully this might help some of you Specific Remedies : This condition has one of the best examples of a specific remedy, Bugleweed(Lycopus virginicus or L. europaeus). It is a useful relaxingnervine but in addition has a sometimes dramatic effect in reducing thesymptom picture associated with hyperthyroid conditions. I have seen nofigures on thyroxin serum levels in patients using Lycopus, and thuscannot say that improvement is due to the herb directly impacting the hormone, but something is definitely going on. One possible prescription : Lycopus spp. 4 parts Leonurus cardiaca 2 parts Scutellaria spp. 2 parts Crataegus spp. 1 part to 5ml of tincture three times a day for associated insomnia : Valeriana officinalis Passiflora incarnata equal parts as tincture to 5-15ml 1/2hour before retiring. Actions supplied by this combination : Nervine Tonic (Scutellaria spp.) Nervine Relaxant (Lycopus spp., Leonurus cardiaca, Scutellariaspp., Valeriana officinalis, Passiflora incarnata) Cardio-Vascular Tonic (Crataegus spp.)
