One of my friends was diagnosed with Graves disease. It is disorder of thyroid gland. The treatment that mordern medicine can offer is medication that has drastic side effects on blood and liver and disease may come back anyway. So another treatment for this condition is radioactive iodine that kills thyroid. After that patients requre synthetic thyroi d hormons for the rest of life . ( it's what I call barbaric)
My friend didn't want to do it. She decided it's nothing to loose and wanted to try alternative medicine. I new about herb-Bugleweed is good for this condition. But couldn't find any info how to use it except that alcohol solution (tincure) is better that dry herb or water solution.
Graves disease has very definite symptoms like palpitation,irritability, feeling hot,etc. So I decided to try small doses of alcohol tincture of this herb (stakich.com sells good quality tincture) and increase it till we will see improvement of her symptoms. don't exceed the max dose stated on the bottle.
20-30 drops 2-3 times a day for 1 week then 1 day stop.Then repeat again for 2 weeks and a 2 days stop . Then do it for 3 weeks and rest 3 days.Then 4 weeks -4days rest and so on. Doctor will have to check antibodies and thyroid profile and see if any impovement in 4-6 month. When you are in remission, start decreasing dose slowly to 2 times a day than to less drops. My friend doesn't need to take any. but sometimes when she feels some of her symptoms back she take maintance dose 18 drops 3 times a day for several days until no more symptoms and decrese it again the stop.
