Celery-induced decrease of thyroid hormone levels may be used as a whole food medicine to balance thyroid hormone in patients with hyperthyroidism, a renowned institute study suggested.
According to an experimental study of 40 male rats divided into 5 groups of eight rats each, rats received celery leaf extract with doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg showed serum levels of T3 (0.95±0.04 and 0.95±0.06, respectively) and T4 (5.42±0.85 and 5.87±0.89, respectively) hormones decreased compared to a control group.
Celery is a species of Apium graveolens, belonging to the family Apiaceae, cultivated all around the globe as a vegetable. Celery can grow to 1/2 m tall with stalks (leaf on the top) arranged in a conical shape joined at a common base.
Unfortunately, according to the joint research paper led by Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, intake of celery may induce hyperthyroidism, as a report indicated that a 48-year-old, with no history of any thyroid diseases, was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism due to daily consumption of 4 g of dried celery leaves for 45 days.
Dr. Rouhi-Boroujeni H, the lead author said, " Hyperthyroidism may be induced by consumption celery" and " Therefore, it can be assumed that celery induces hyperthyroidism as a side effect of this herb if it is used for a long term"
Furthermore, celery has been shown to interact with conventional medicine used to regulate thyroid hormone inpatient with hypothyroidism. According to the study, in a report of a 55-year-old woman showed no improved hypothyroidism with a daily dose of thyroxine 100 micrograms after injecting celery seed tablets.
Due to conflict results, it is up to readers to consult with their herbalists, before consumption of a large amount of celery seeds supplement daily in the long term for the amelioration of hyperthyroid or hypothyroidism.
