http://Natural-Remedy.org/gravesdisease.aspx will lead you in the direction of natural alternatives and remedies for Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism.

Graves' Disease (sometimes spelled Grave's Disease or Graves Disease) is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is an autoimmune disorder that leads to overactivity of the thyroid gland. This is the case when the body makes too much thyroid hormone. Graves' Disease may occur in men and women of any age, but is most common in women over the age of 20.

The thyroid gland releases hormones which control the body's metabolism. If the body makes too much thyroid hormone, this is what is called hyperthyroidism. It is critical to maintain a controlled metabolism in order for the body to regulate weight, mood, and energy levels.

Some of the symptoms of Graves' Disease include:
- Fatigue
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Muscle Weakness
- Shortness of Breath
- Frequent Bowel Movements
- Sweating
- Irregular Heartbeat
- Double Vision
- Concentration Difficulties

Common treatments of hyperthyroidism include beta-blockers such as propranolol. However, these only treat the symptoms such as rapid heart rate, sweating, and anxiety until the hyperthyroidism is controlled with the use of medications, radioactive iodine, and possibly even surgery.

Alternative treatments for Graves' Disease are available including acupuncture, as well as yoga, deep breathing, and meditation. This combination of exercises and relaxation techniques can help allow for the normal functions of the thyroid gland. These gentle neck stretching exercises can also help to strengthen the nervous system.
