Your thyroid gland is the most important endocrine gland in your body (yes, I said it!) because it controls and regulates just about every cell in your body as well as just about every hormone in your body.

It also happens to be sensitive to inflammation and if this happens, you will feel it.

These are the most common signs of thyroid gland inflammation:

1. Fluctuating thyroid hormone levels.

2. Feeling run down.

3. Joint pain and muscle pain.

4. Allergies or reactions to foods.

5. Skin problems.

6. Symptoms of other autoimmune diseases.

Because thyroid gland inflammation is never normal, you should always get it checked out. The most common cause of thyroid gland inflammation is the autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s.

If you feel you have inflammation make sure to get tested for this condition and make sure you take steps to reduce inflammation as quickly as possible!

You can do this with natural therapies, changing your diet, and taking the right supplements.
