Lemon Balm

[Rainbowpoppy81]

Hi all,
 
Have had Hashimoto's for about 14 years, still have the symptoms mentionned on here, brain fog etc. My boyfriend has done some research and has found some stuff on lemon balm and it's effectiveness to autoimmune disease and Hashimoto's. I'm a bit worried to give it a go and wondered if anyone has tried it, or heard anything about it?
 
Be lovely to hear from someone!

Oh and just to let you know, since i just saw the message from mo, I'm on levothyroxine and have slowly been increasing my dose. Blood tests are always normalish, tsh sometimes up, t4 sometimes on the low side. Do feel the need to try something else. I've ordered that book that has been recommended on here, it looks really good. Time to sort my thyroid out!

Hello Gina,

I have never heard of Lemon Balm for autoimmune disease but it doesn't seem like it would hurt to try (unless it is recommended in high doses). I think you will benefit by that book. Although answers are not easy, it always helps to get as much information as possible before starting new routines.

Have you checked your antibody count recently? It might be good to monitor that as you try new treatments.

Are you under the care of a doctor? What kind of doctor are you seeing? Traditional, natural?

Looking forward to hearing more from you!
