HYPOTHYRODISM - Ganoderma Lucidum.

Greetings Dear friend , sorry for the delayed response. It's 12.45pm here in Malaysia, and i am finally  out of the energy-spin.Going back to your enquiry on the natural remedy for hypothyroidism.

[# "Hi Malinda, I've just been looking at some of your photos and I've come across one about the thyroid. I have hypothyroidism and take thyroxine tablets daily for this. Do you know of a more natural product and in what strength/quantity? I take 100mg thyroxine daily. Thanks"#].
Hypothyrodism is a state in which the throid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone ,hence you are prescribed with thyroxine.

                                           
Frankly, there's a mutitude of  herbs & other alternative medicines on our planet  However I would prefer to elaborate on Ganoderma lucudum for your situation simply because I have known & consumed this herb extensively for the past 17 years..Scientists call it an adaptogen ,The definition of adaptogen : It must be innocous and cause minimal disorders in the physiological functions of an organism. It must have a non-specific action and it usually has a normalising action irrespective of the pathological state. Medical herbalists say adaptogenic herbs are plants with properties that exert a nornalising influence on the body neither over stimulating nor inhibiting normal body functions, but rather exert a generalised toning effect. Herbal Coping Adaptogens can help people handle stress by providing: antioxidant activity lliver protection and antitoxin activity ,improved blood-sugar metabolism ,less craving for alcohol or sugar,iImproved immune resistance ,increased energy and stamina ,improved muscle tone ,increased strength ,faster recovery,better focus and concentration ,less anxiety better sleep , better motivation and pro ductivity, a feeling of well-being and better moods.

Contrary to treating the effect of the disorder by merely topping-up with what is lacking, ie the thyroid-hormone , the ganoderma therapy works on the cause/root  ,namely thyroid glands which is the organ that produces it. In essence ,once these have recovered  & are functioning normally the rest follows. Lingzhi ( ganoderma lucidum) has the properties of regulating the Immune system,which in turn ,will fix whatever problem  there is .( 80 -90% diseases are immune-related).
 
Third Party Opinion
The article, "King of Herbs" written by Tish Davidson and Rebecca Frey, PhD, was compiled with the
Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine in 2005. Here are large excerpts from that article.

"Ganoderma is considered an adaptogens, or natural regulator, suppressing the immune system if it
is overactive and boosting it if it is underactive. Many health claims are made on the effect that
Ganoderma has on the immune system. These claims are based primarily on the presence of high
molecular weight polysaccharides and free radical antioxidants in Ganoderma extracts."
