Thyroid disorders can range from a small, harmless goiter (enlarged gland) that needs no treatment to life-threatening cancer. The most common thyroid problems involve abnormal production of thyroid hormones. Too much thyroid hormone results in a condition known as hyperthyroidism. Insufficient hormone production leads to hypothyroidism.

All types of hyperthyroidism are due to an overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can occur in several ways: Grave’s Disease, toxic adenomas, subacute thyroiditis, pituitary gland malfunctions or cancerous growth in the thyroid glands.  Treatments for thyroid diseases include radiation therapy, antithyroid agents, hormones, thyroid removal, endocrine surgery, partial thyroidectomy, lymph node dissection, or neck dissection.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the plant known for its potential therapeutic effects.  CBD and other cannabinoids interact with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to maintain balance.  CBD is useful for people who have thyroid conditions because of the existence of ECS receptors on the thyroid gland itself.  Particularly, the CB1 cannabinoid receptor has been found to influence the regulation of the endocrine system, including the thyroid hormone.  CBD may help to manage the symptoms that are commonly linked to thyroid disorders, including pain, inflammation, anxiety, and depression.

In this way, CBD may be a good option for those who suffer from thyroid disease.  Early research indicated that the consumption of cannabis may influence the endocrine system.  CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory and antidepressant potential and may, therefore, help ease the inflammation and pain associated with thyroid conditions.
