20/8/14 Thyroid Issues

Bowen Procedure for Thyroid Issues
I am currently  treating  a women whos Metabolism was out of balance.  She reported her temperature being low, particularly in the mornings. -experienciing  hot flushes,  a lack of energy. and disturbed nights.

Fortunately there is a Bowen Procedure that aims to address Thyroid issues. Immediately After the treatment  she reported that she was no longer  sweating profusely  and  felt so much better.   The reduced symptoms lasted for around 12 days.  This week because her thyroid issues  were so much reduced, we reverted to addressing different issues.

Bowen is Holistic - in that it addresses the whole body functions, not just skeletol issues


What is the Thyroid gland?
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland found inside your neck, right under your larynx or voice box. A two-inch long, brownish red, highly vascular gland, it has two lobes located on each side of the windpipe that are both connected by a tissue called the isthmus. A normal thyroid gland weighs somewhere between 20 and 60 grams.

Your thyroid is responsible for producing the master metabolism hormones that control every function in your body. It produces three types of hormones:

·         Triiodothyronine (T3)The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland found inside your neck, right under your larynx or voice box.

·         Diiodothyronine (T2)

Hormones secreted by your thyroid interact with all your other hormones, including insulin, cortisol, and sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The fact that these hormones are all tied together and are in constant communication explains why a less-than-optimal thyroid status is associated with so many widespread symptoms and diseases.

Almost 90 percent of the hormone produced by your thyroid is in the form of T4, the inactive form. Your liver then converts the T4 into T3, the active form, with the help of an enzyme. T2, however, is currently the least-understood component of thyroid function and the subject of a number of ongoing studies.
