Studying the effects of CBD on the thyroid gland is still in the early stages. However, the studies done between the thyroid’s function and the receptors of the endocannabinoid system look promising.
What is CBD?
CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is an important component of the hemp plant. It belongs to a group of compounds called cannabinoids, with over 140 different types found in hemp.
Several studies have been conducted on CBD and it’s benefits on helping those with thyroid problems.
The molecules of CBD interact with the receptors of the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system plays a key role in maintaining the delicate internal balance of the body through the production of endocannabinoids and certain enzymes that help to maintain homeostasis.
The Thyroid Gland and Its Role in the Body
The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck, in front of the windpipe. It is an internal secretion gland with a butterfly shape and a volume of about 18 cm³ in women and 25 cm³ in men. Its function is controlled by the pituitary gland.
Through the hormones it produces, the thyroid gland influences:
- Growth of the Developing Body
- Functioning of Metabolism
However, to some extent, it plays a role in the functioning of almost every organ.
Hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid, is a common disorder, but hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid, can also occur.
Additionally, it includes conditions such as pathological enlargement, inflammation, as well as the formation of nodules or tumors.
The most common cause of hypothyroidism is iodine deficiency, as this element plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the gland. Therefore, ensuring adequate iodine intake is essential for stimulating the thyroid. Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disease of the thyroid, is a characteristic trigger of hyperthyroidism.
CBD Oil and Thyroid Disorders
According to the traditional protocol, thyroid disorders can be treated with medication, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery.
However, in cases of milder symptoms and as a supplement to the above, alternative treatments are also being explored since many thyroid medications have side effects. This is why CBD and the role of the endocannabinoid system have come into focus, with several studies examining their potential impact on restoring thyroid function.
As early as a study conducted in 2002, it was found that the CB1 receptors of the body’s endocannabinoid system influence the activity of hormones produced by the thyroid.
