| Hello, I read that lwemon Balm (Melissa) lowers thyroid hormone.
Anyone know if this sffect is strong?. I liked Lemon Balm´s calming effect but I have low thyroid.
Alternatives?. Maybe chamomile?.
Thanks |

| Not chamomile. And chrysanthemum flower has some of the same things as chamomile that lower thyroid. |

| My wife gets cold and her thyroid swells from chamomile. She takes skullcap (scutellaria) for a relaxing tea and that doesn't seem to bother her. Passionflower contains the same type of relaxants as skullcap, but her skin gets sensitive when she drinks passiflora - not a thyroid thing as far as she can tell, just an individual reaction. |
