The circulation problem is mostly aggravated by the fact that I do a lot of art work sitting down. I have a little cube timer that goes off every 15 minutes so I can get up and walk around or do something else. But still, even 15 minutes of sitting makes my legs feel heavy and stiff.
I started drinking a lot of peppermint tea, sipping on it throughout the day. Also, I have rubbed peppermint essential oil into my adrenal areas and thyroid once a day and rub some of the oil on my upper lip under my nose. I rub the oil into the reflexology thyroid and adrenal areas of the feet, giving some definite massage there.
Studies show that smelling peppermint essential oil (be sure it's real essential oil) improves circulation and mental function and that's what I'm seeing. Within the first two days I noticed a big improvement in circulation, energy, mood and mental clarity.

Hi lorica....I am curious about the thyrogold....how did it work for you. I have been meaning to try it for a long time now but have hesitated because there is not much information out there. I am hypothyroid for about five years and am desperately seeking ways to get off these stupid meds..I wouldn't mind staying on them if I was feeling good but instead sometimes I really believe I feel worse after taking them. Please let me know asap....I 've been wanting to try this for a long time....thank you so muchReplied By Cindy (Buffalo, Ny) on 12/06/2015
I have SAI I am on 10 mg of hydrocortisone in AM and 5 in PM. I love peppermint oil and it is helping me feel like myself again. The brain fog goes away and my circulation is so much better! I'm very happy about this!Replied By Tracey (Me ) on 04/13/2016
I have had Addison's disease and hypothyroidism for 20 years. It ruined my life. I started noticing something was wrong and it took 6 months before they diagnosed me. I was about dead. I still have so many issues and battle for energy on a daily bases. I have never seen anything about peppermint oil till I read this. I am going to see what I can do w it. I would love to b able to live again instead of just surviving.Replied By Overcomer (Pretoria) on 05/17/2016
Hi Tracey
I feel you. :( I've been diagnosed with the same thing. You are describing EXACTLY what's going on in my life in your input above. I've noticed a good change in my energy and mood levels when I've taken B12 and B Complex injections. I used to have them weekly and I could manage much better. It's worth a try. Also, please have a look at the High-Fat Low-Carb diet (Banting diet). I am convinced right-eating leads to right-living and I know with this condition our bodies will definitely respond favourably. Eliminating toxins like sugar will only help; and not subject you to that vicious cycle of short-lived energy boosts and long-lasting energy lags.
I be having my peppermint tea. :)

I came across an article online written by an alternative MD that cured a woman of full blown Addison's disease (adrenals not working at all and non-curable) with homeopathic ayahuasca. The author didn't give the dosage or dilution, but did say it took 3 months. When the woman went back to her regular doctor to get retested, he told her she had no signs of Addison's Disease. She asked him if he had ever seen it reversed and he said, No. With a little Google searching you may be able to find the article, otherwise it may look like I am the Doc promoting myself. I know you can get homeopathic ayahuasca from Helios in the UK. - only place I know.Replied By Sunny (Us) on 06/16/2016
Donna, I would like to know more about the homeopathic you mentioned. I am on very low dose hydrocortisone and I would like to try getting off it. Is Ayahuasca available in the United States?Replied By Lorica (Indiana) on 11/03/2016
Sorry I just saw your question about Thyrogold. All I can say is that it worked for me. It was created by a doctor who is now dead. His wife sells it and she told me how much to take based on my test results. I had two doctors say my Thyroid was normal with it. Also, anyone, it is crucial as can be that you get PH test strips. If your urine ph is below 7.4 you will notice that you are far more tired. On the other hand, don't got to 8.0 or higher for longer as that is associated with lymphatic disease. Then there is prayer. That's been my biggest help. Praying for all of you.Replied By John D. (San Angelo, Texas) on 08/01/2017
Dearest Artist, My logical mechanical query pertaining to applying the oil of mint under the nose as a smelling intake. Now; ... My most important question is; ... How to find the purest form or who makes the best product, what is it's exact name; and who sells it? Life could be a high probability of people helping people; and God knows I'm seeking now; ... Due to so many toxidities in our bodies these days and times; my quest is to learn, locate; and exercise a new and healthier regime in my life; because a healthier mind, greater clarity, and sounder choices; beat diggin' a deeper rut; and killing ourselves.
