I wish I’d known about the benefits of essential oils for the thyroid many years ago when I was struggling with Hashimoto’s, and how they could help support not only my thyroid but the entire endocrine system.
Therapeutic-grade oils are specially distilled from plants cultivated organically or grown wild in a clean environment. Pharmaceuticals have their place, and many who need thyroid support need to be on medications, but there are also natural options to consider.
Essential oils help keep the body in homeostasis and work towards restoring and maintaining balance. I think we can agree that all of us who need thyroid support could use a bit more balance in our lives!
Here are some essential oils for thyroid support:
- Clove Oil – this oil has an antioxidant (ORAC) score of over 1,000,000! So, this is definitely an oil you’ll want to consider for supporting your entire body. Clove is also high in phenols (about 80%). “Phenols clean the receptor sites of the cells. Without clean receptor sites, cells cannot communicate and the body malfunctions, resulting in sickness.” – Dr. David Stewart
- Frankincense Oil – frankincense is the mother of all oils and it’s fantastic for healthy cell support. Frankincense is high in Monoterpenes which help reprogram miswritten information in cellular memory.
- Myrrh Oil – this oil has been used for thousands of years and can help reduce stress and support the thyroid. Myrrh is rich in Sesquiterpenes (around 60%) which can help “erase or deprogram miswritten codes in cellular memory”.
- Lemongrass Oil – this is a great oil to use to support the thyroid – again, helping the body achieve balance.
- Basil – basil helps support the adrenal glands. When the body needs thyroid support, it usually also needs adrenal support, so it’s a good idea to use this oil on a regular basis to support the adrenal glands.
- Peppermint – peppermint can help you feel more alert, and support the body when it feels fatigued. It also helps support the thyroid.
- Marjoram – marjoram supports the spleen. The spleen is an important organ in the immune system producing the white blood cells that fight synthesized antibodies. This oil can be a good oil to help support healthy antibody levels.
Here are some of my favorite ways to use these oils for thyroid support:
1. I rub a drop of myrrh oil over my thyroid area each day. The smell is a bit strong, but it wears off quickly.
2. A drop or two basil oil rubbed on the adrenals each morning is a great way to support the system! The adrenal glands are located on either side of your back, just below each rib cage.
3. A drop or two of marjoram can be rubbed over the spleen for antibody support.
Here’s the Thyroid Blend Recipe that I use 2x daily on my feet:
10 drops frankincense
10 drops clove
10 drops myrrh
10 drops lemongrass
10 drops basil
10 drops marjoram
I put all of these oils in a 10ml glass roller ball and top it off with fractionated coconut oil (this kind of coconut oil soaks into the skin quickly and stays liquid at colder temperatures).
I personally use doTERRA essential oils for my thyroid blend. If you’re not comfortable using 20 drops of each, you can lower the amount to 10 or 5 drops of each. This is the blend that I personally use and have seen great success with.
How can I learn more about the steps I can take for thyroid disease?
I have four fantastic options for you!

- If you’d like to learn from first steps you can take to help support your thyroid, check out my class, “5 Keys to Thyroid Hormone Balance”. It’s just 45 minutes and I promise you’ll learn something new!
- If you’re looking for a step-by-step plan for Hashimoto’s that truly works (no more piecing together info!), check out my 90-Day Thyroid Reset Program.
- Book a consult with me for one-on-one help. Here’s info about what working with me looks like.
FYI – Peppermint oil is great for those of us needing hormone balance later in life, too.
Odd with such good advice you would advocate for an essential oil company that doesn’t have any control over the seed selection (GMO?), harvesting practices, or distillation & bottling. Doterra buys oils from brokers. Good advice, poor oil advocacy xx
doTERRA doesn’t buy from brokers, but works directly with the farmers to ensure harvesting practices, purity, distillation, bottling, etc. They also have all of their 3rd-party purity reports online for anyone to see. They are the brand that I use for me and my family and have seen great results.
hi can you help me please i need something that can help i have a under active thyroid and and my maturity gland in the brain is to high plz help
I would take my free online class. I think you’ll find it incredibly helpful! https://events.genndi.com/register/169105139238450798/5f1c4a87bb
Thank you, for your use of Doterra and their co-impact sourcing. Unless someone has taken the time to learn they just assume Doterra does it just like everyone else. The last time I heard anything we were at 96% exclusive production around the world. I can’t think of a better company to support. That being said, thank you for your suggestions for essential oils to use for thyroid health. I am prone to goiters and will start using myrrh today to help. I have all of the items for the thyroid roller blend and will start that, too.
Thank you for your kind words, Nancy. 🙂
Point of clarification: doTERRA does not do outside third-party testing; while they do publish batch test reports online (which is not widely known or easily found), their testing is all internal, based on their self-developed CPTG system. Having said that, I do use some doTERRA oils and really appreciate their co-impact sourcing initiatives.
If you go to this site, you can look up the lot number on the bottle and it will give you the report:https://sourcetoyou.com/en
For your recipe, what can I use to substitute majorum? I have tyme, tea tree oils, no Oregon though, what say you, can’t wait to try your rcipe
Thanks chris
Where do you suggest getting oils from? Do far, I’m very happy with doTerra.
I personally use doTERRA essential oils. I’m glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with them!
You read my mind and put it in wirds. Sad to see her supporting this kind of business. Very intelligent and people trust people like you and companies like doterra takes advantage of these people to promote their stuff and make big sales. Sad !
doTERRA is the brand I use for me and my family and have found them to be very helpful. I did use an affiliate link, as I do for most products I recommend because I can’t possibly run my business and provide a wealth of free information without making money. Saying that I like doTERRA oils is the same as me telling my readers that Bob’s Red Mill is my favorite brand of coconut flour, or Thrive Market is my favorite place to purchase foods at a lesser price online. I understand you don’t like the free information I shared in this post, but there’s really no need to attack my character. No one at doTERRA has taken advantage of me. They are honestly my favorite brand.
Well said!!
Great response !!! Huge hugs , we love what we love
Thanks, Tricia. 🙂
Great response! It amazes me how people can get so brave and rude behind a keyboard, it is sad really. I have been using doTERRA oils for many years and only after doing a LOT of research on the company. They are an amazing company and their product is stellar. Please keep up the good work, and let that BS roll right off your back as you did so well. 🙂
Thanks, Carolyn! 🙂
They are probably “young living ” users. Went to one of a yl meeting once. Very pushy people. I use doterra and love it. Everything from lemon in my water to blends for joint pain and wrinkles. Love doterra.
Well said!
Thank you for standing up to people who are negative. I have used several brands of essential oils and have decided to buy from doTerra. Bonnie
Thanks, Bonnie. 🙂
Good for you! You’re clear about the truth about doTERRA and how you’ve researched and want the best for your family. We don’t have a culture of fear and attacking. We ha e a culture of educating people and offering the best we have to offer. Again, good for you 😉
What else are you doing to treat your Hashimoto’s? Gluten free? Celiac diet? Meds? I am really struggling with my Hashimoto’s
What size rollerball bottles do you use for your thyroid blend?
I use a 10ml.
I am considering using essential oils for my underactive thyroid and wondering if I need all the oils or if I could just use a couple what is your suggestions
Peppermint, Clove, and Lemongrass are good to use when the thyroid is on the slow side.
My sisters thyroid goes up and down but mostly down . Would this blend help with either??
Yes! This is a fabulous blend to help support a slow or overactive thyroid.
Could this blend be made so you take it orally & not for topical use? If so how would you mix it?
That’s quite a bit of oils to take internally on a daily basis, so I wouldn’t stick with applying this blend to the feet.
Hello. I’m allergic to frankincense. Anything else I can use besides frankincense for the thyroid blend ? Thanks so much!
Have you tried doTERRA frankincense? Many times when one has an allergic reaction to an essential oil it’s because it’s not a completely pure oil (even thought the label says 100% pure). Just curious. If you used doTERRA Frankincense and still had issues, then I’d use the rest of the oils and recommend using 1 drop of Zendocrine over the liver 2x a day. Reactions to other oils or foods (when you don’t have a documented allergy from the doctor) are often from liver congestion. So, Zendocrine, along with castor oil packs can help a lot!
Do you put the oil mixture on both feet and do you put the oil on the entire foot or how do you apply it?
You rub a few swipes on the bottoms of the feet each day.
So you don’t run it in? How long will the mix last? How much is a “swipe”?
I’m not sure what you mean by “run it in”.
My mother has over active thyroid and I was going to ask if this helps both or 1 or the other. I have been doing a lot of research and I will certainly try this blend. Thank you for the tip. I love doTERRA as well! Good for you! Love your blog and site. 🙂
It helps with both! 🙂
I have a really low thyroid , is this the blend I should use? Or go with something slightly different ?
I would take my free online class. I think you’ll find it incredibly helpful and it will answer your questions! https://events.genndi.com/register/169105139238450798/5f1c4a87bb
Do i use peppermint clove and lemongrass directly on my throat for my thyroid
Lemongrass can be hot on the skin, so if you want to try using it on your thyroid, I’d dilute it with a carrier oil. Or, you could use both oils directly on the feet.
Clove is a hot oil so I use FCO. I have been putting Frank, Clove & Lemongrass on my throat everyday.
What do you mean by FCO are you talking about coconut oil?
FCO is fractionated coconut oil.
Can you add the peppermint to the rollerblading blend?
Definitely!
how many drops of each to a 10ml rollerball?
20 drops of each as well in a 10ml bottle?
Yes
do you put all 3 on the tyroid gland?
I recommend first trying it on the feet, back of the neck or spine
I made a blend of Basil, Clove and Lemongrass to support underactivity and to help produce breastmilk when my little was 6 months. It was fabulous!
So glad you found that combination helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Hi there, curious if this blend works good for an overactive thyroid. Have made lots of dietary changes and currently trying to get off a very small dose of medication. Honestly, wish I had read this before I even started the medication. I look forward to your input, thank you so much!
This is also a good blend for an overactive thyroid. For an overactive thyroid, it’s very important to focus on the health of the adrenals, and being in a “para-sympathetic” state. Here’s a post where I explain what that means. 🙂 https://deliciouslyorganic.net/how-to-improve-digestion-naturally/
Do any of these oils work if you had a total thyroid removed??
Frankincense and Myrrh are fantastic for healthy cell support and would be a good option.
Does it work the same if you have nodules?
All of these oils can help support the thyroid, but I can’t say for sure about nodules. I would consult with a holistic practitioner about that.
can I use this blend as aromatherapy
That’s a great idea!
After using thee oils were you able to go off thyoid medication
I’m 100% medication-free. 🙂
Were you ever on thyroid medication.
No. I chose not to take medication.
How did you know or how was it determined that your numbers were in a normal range? What or who made that call? We’re you taking the meds along with your oils? Is there a certain time to use the oils?
Labs and my practitioner determined my status. I never took any meds. I know that’s not a normal course of action for most, but it was what worked for me. As I mentioned in the post, I wish I’d known about the benefits of essential oils when I was really struggling. I’ve seen them make huge improvements in my health since I’ve been using them and wish I’d been able to start using them years ago! 🙂 You can use them any time of day that works best for you. I like to apply them in the morning and at night. For more info about thyroid support, you should check out the book, “The Thyroid Cure” and also http://www.thyroidpharmacist.com (both of them have fantastic info for their email subscribers…I highly recommend signing up for both of their lists!).
Just a chuckle…I had to stop and re-read when you said you’d seen “huge impairments to your health” due to using oils. I’m sure you meant “improvements.” =)
I have been on medication for hypothyroidism for about 5 years but my lab shows sometimes up and sometimes down. How long should I wait to test my thyroid after I start to use the oils daily?
I’m still learning about essential oils and read you shouldn’t put them directly in your skin. So you’re saying it’s ok to?
I meant on your skin, not in.
Therapeutic grade oils are perfectly safe to use directly on the skin. I recently learned that there are 2 schools of thought. The British School of Aromatherapy emphasizes using only diluted oils and also frowns upon taking them orally. All of their research is based on studying food grade or perfume grade oils. So, their research is correct, but only when talking about food or perfume grade.
I prescribe to the French School method which was created by MDs who rely on scientific research with people using therapeutic grade essential oils. I only believe in internalizing therapeutic grade oils – not perfume or food grade which is what is most often sold in health food or grocery stores.
Yes!
I can’t wait to try these oils. Can they be found easily local or on-line? I had 90% of my thyroid removed years ago and take Synthroid daily. Thank you for sharing. I will share my results.
Therapeutic grade oils aren’t easily found in stores, but if you email us over at info@deliciouslyorganic.net we’ll give you all the info you need!
If one chooses to go grain free to heal themselves, can you once again eat grain after your thyroid is healed?
Yes! But, it’s imperative that when they begin to add a bit of grain back into the diet they only consume properly prepared grains. Here’s a great post on this topic: http://nourishedkitchen.com/soaking-grains-nuts-legumes/
Hello.
If I buy raw organic almond butter does that have to be sprouted ?
Or is almond butter okay?
Thanks so much
While it’s ideal to use soaked almonds for almond butter, raw almond butter (like Justin’s) is ok to use in moderation. I use it sometimes when traveling because it’s not always feasible to have sprouted almond butter. 🙂
Where to you get spouted almond butter?
I’ve read that using just a few drops of Essential Oils is more beneficial than 30 or so. Why do you use so much? And what is your opinion on this?
30 drops of each of these oils is to put in a roller ball. So, after you combine all of the oils together in the roller ball, you top it off with fractionated coconut oil and then rub a little on your feet a couple times a day. I agree, 30 drops of each of these at one time would be way too much! 🙂
Can we use a different carrier oil instead of fractionated coconut oil.
I have been using almond oil.
Almond oil is a great substitution.
I think I have a slow thyroid (wt gain), the oils will help with that?
Low thyroid caused weight-gain in my case. Do you have low production due to the slowness? If so, I’d say it’s a good possibility. Oils support the bodies efforts to balance/regulate, so they can support a variety of scenarios.
I have under active thyroid I take synthriod 100mg what oils can I use to help also type two dietetic any help with these two
This may sound crazy but do you just put this on the bottom of your feet or is there a special place on your feet you apply this?
Wow – I just priced the rollerball blend at $237 for all of the therapeutic grade oils mentioned. WOW!
I’m not sure which company you’re looking at. The price on my end is much less. If you’d like info about my favorite brand please email us at: info@deliciouslyorganic.net
I think these oils are great for preventative use as well.
Once a person is in remission from a thyroid disorder, which orders do you recommend to use daily?
I use this blend daily, but I think the most important for thyroid support are myrrh, clove and frankincense.
My daughter read that if you use the same mixture for more than a month your body becomes almost immune to the oils so you should rotate the blends you use , have you found this to be true for you.
I haven’t seen that study. Could you please send it to me?
She said she was researching oils and the thyroid and she came across it. She didn’t save the article but we are both wondering because she’s been using the same oil mixture for 3 months and seems to be doing much better.
I’ve studied quite a bit on essential oils, and have never come across a conclusive study that proves you’ll become immune to an essential oil if you use it daily. So, if she’s doing better, I’d stay to stick with what works. 🙂
Thanks! I’ll let her know!
Where do you find your rollerball bottles?
Due to new FDA regulations, I’m not allowed to share that info in a public setting such as my blog. If you write me over at info@deliciouslyorganic.net I can share the website url with you. Thanks!
Please I’d like to know where I can get a roller ball. Thanks Marissa Taylor. Tonyferret@yahoo.com
You can find roller balls at Amazon.Com.
I was wondering if I could use this blend* in roller bottle directly on my thyroid or if I should have a separate one with just Myrrh, Frankincense, and Clove? I have rubbed Frankincense directly on it and had sucess and then found this blog post and since ordered all the rest to add!
You can use it directly on your thyroid, but the clove can be a bit hot on the skin, so you might need some fractionated coconut oil to tone down the heat.
Thanks for this, Carrie. Lovely website and encouraging to see your return to health. Do you use clove bud or leaf oil? I’m excited to use this blend…
Clove bud. Keep in mind that it’s extremely important to only use a therapeutic grade oil if you’re looking for it to provide health benefits.
Would you please explain what you mean by “therapeutic grade”?
100% pure natural aromatic compounds carefully extracted from plants. They do not contain fillers or artificial ingredients that would dilute their active qualities. Proper extraction and quality control methods also ensure that Therapeutic Grade essential oils are free of any contaminants such as pesticides or other chemical residues. These oils usually cannot be found at health food or grocery stores. If you’d like further info, email us over at: info@deliciouslyorganic.net …I have more info, but am not allowed to share it due to the new FDA regulations. Thanks!
I’m 9 weeks pregnant and and was wondering if this protocol that you are suggesting with the oils is safe for me to try?
I’ve been using a myrrh, clove, sandalwood combo with black seed oil as the carrier on my thyroid for a few weeks now. However, when i apply the oil blend, it leaves my throat feeling slightly sore with a mild burning sensation. But not in my skin. It is an internal sensation, as if I’ve been shouting for a long while.
I apply only at nights, about 2 drops of each essential oil and a few drops, about 5 to 8 of my carrier oil. Wondering if the ratio is too strong on the essential oils side.
Somehow I overlooked your comment. I’m so sorry! It seems the oil combination might be a bit too strong. I would try using the myrrh and sandalwood on the thyroid and put the clove on the feet. Clove is super strong and that could be what’s causing the soreness. Also, maybe coconut oil would be a good idea to try for the carrier oil.
Hi!
Was reading your blog on essential oils and would be interested in learning the kinds of oils and what roller ball you use. I struggle with the same ailment you have and am looking to make the blend you are talking about in your post about thyroid issues.
Thank you,
Robin
Hi Robin, If you email us at info@deliciouslyorganic.net, we will be happy to help you out! Thanks 🙂
Wow. At 60 after a life of Needing thyroid support/ Type A personna I was on the right track to asking the questions about homeopathic cures. But the posts here are mind blowing! The medical community was herding me into the bipolar ovens. I have cut out corn oil and corn syrup as a start. Now I try oils and I have seen a difference. The review of what others have posted causes a deeper insight and reflection into the changes that I have experienced. The normals have no clue to the ‘Out of the box’ lifestyle experience that they quickly label as such. The revelation is once the Type A person gets clear of the poisons they excel even more so than before. Why is that wisdom comes after knowledge?
Where do I get “fractionated” coconut oil? Is it a process that I apply to the organic coconut oil that I have purchased and have at home? OR do I need to by it as “fractionated”? Thanks in advance for the help!
As an extra note… can I opt to use my regular organic coconut oil if I end up not getting (or making) the fractionated coconut oil?
It’s sold at most health food stores. You can use regular coconut oil, but it won’t absorb into the skin as quickly. And, if you want to make essential oils blends, regular coconut oil is tricky because it becomes a solid at 76 degrees and below.
I’ve been taking synthetic thyroid meds for at least 10 years now and have only continued to gain weight, lose hair, dry hair, eyebrows shedding, nails brittle, brain fog, etc. I’ll be getting a new primary cafre physician in a few months and wondered should I seek out a endocrinologist? Also after beginning the essential oils in the next few weeks, is it advised to stop taking the thyroid medication (levothyroxine)?
I’m so sorry to hear of your health issues. I never advise to stop taking any medication without consulting your doctor first. If you’re looking for a medical professional to seek out for further help, I’d look for a functional medicine doctor. They help find the root cause of your health issues and then develop a plan to help you heal. Here’s a directory where you can find a functional medicine doctor in your area: https://www.functionalmedicine.org/practitioner_search.aspx?id=117
Hi,
Was wandering if I could use Jojoba oil, or Argan, or Sweet Almond to put in the roller ball rather than fractionated coconut oil as I don’t have that on hand.
Yes, any of those would work well.
Hi! Great article. Does it matter where on the feet you put the oil? I didn’t see this question already answered. Sorry if you have shared already.
I put the blend on my feet 2x a day. Some of my friends also put it on their thyroid (neck), but my skin is very sensitive, so I stick with putting on my feet. You could test it out and see what works best for you! 🙂
Where on the feet is it best to put the oil? And is it safe to put that amount of concentration of oils (10 drops of each in 10 ml bottle with carrier oil) on an infant’s foot? My 4 month old has Down Syndrome and I want to give him as much Thyroid support as I can.
On the bottoms of the feet is best. Because your child is so young, I would drop the concentration down to 5 drops of each and then topped off with a carrier oil.
I’ve read in various resources that lemongrass oils should be diluted to <1% when applied topically. Your recipe has a 5% dilution for lemongrass. Can you comment if there is any irritation or how you decided to use that dilution rate? Thank you 🙂
I studied various chemical analyses of essential oils to come up with this dilution and combination of oils. I’ve never heard that lemongrass should be diluted to <1%, and have never had anyone tell me they had any issues by putting it on the bottoms of their feet. Some of my friends who use this blend also put it directly on the thyroid without any issues, but my skin is sensitive and I don't do well with more potent oils on my face or neck. So, I always tell people to apply to the feet first and then to do a little test to see if their skin is sensitive to the other oils. I hope that helps!
In looking at the oils for underactive and overactive thyroid lemongrass, frankincense and myrrh were used for both, how do these work in both cases?
Thank you!
These oils are both fantastic for supporting normal function for the thyroid. This is why they are recommended for both an underactive and overactive thyroid.
Carrie, I just got frankincense,lemongrass &clove oil’s for my thyroid. It didn’t come with instructions, of how many drop’s of each to put in the roller bottle. I have underactI’ve thyriod.
I use 20 drops of each in a 10ml roller ball and then top off with fractionated coconut oil.
Can I use this for a 7 year old child? If so, how much dilution should I make?
You can use the same dilution, just do 1 swipe of the blend on the feet, instead of several swipes (as you would do for an adult).
Hi Carrie, what oils would I use for overactive thyroid and in what quantities?
My thyroid is under active and adrenals overactive, antibodies in overdrive. Should I add marjoram to the blend or would this lead to even more production of antibodies?
Marjoram would be a great addition as it helps support the spleen (and the spleen regulates antibodies in the blood).
I’ve been using doTerra oils for 5 yrs and find them very useful, my question to you is , can i use this formula for thyroid support while taking my levothyrxin (50mcg) ? Seems like it would be defeating the purpose of trying EOs for this, but alittle afraid to stop med. My doctor i know wouldn’t approve. Would like to try though.
Different essential oils can be used to support different parts of the endocrine system and can usually be used alongside medications. If you haven’t already taken my online class about oils for thyroid support, I highly recommend you take it as I think it will help you understand a bit more about how these oils work to support the thyroid. I’d also recommend talking to a holistic practitioner about what would be best for your situation.
Why put it on feet? How can that affect the thyroid effectively? I put some directly on my swollen thyroid but I am afraid of a reaction.
Your feet are very porous and when you put oils on the feet, they will travel to the cells where they are needed in the body within 30 seconds. If your thyroid is swollen, I suggest not putting any oils directly on your thyroid and just putting them on your feet, the back of the neck or the spine.
I’m a reflexologist. The feet have points that correlate to every system in the body. Stimulating these points will affect the rest of the body. I would put the oils on the thyroid areas of the feet, which is a curve just under and around the big toe and “knuckle”. Massage it in with a bit of pressure. Feels great too!
Hi Carrie! I have your recipe book and love it. And I’ve taken your online course for EO’s. I have a 10ml rollerball and fractionated coconut oil for a thyroid blend. I’m not quite sure how much to roll on my feet. How many swipes over the thyroid sections of ea foot?
I usually do 2-3 swipes at at time. 🙂
Where can I purchase your recipe book from?
My cookbooks can be found on Amazon. Just search “Carrie Vitt” and you’ll be able to find them.
I was wondering how often you need to replenish your roller bottle. With 30 drops of each oil and 250 drops in a 15ml bottle you would get 8+ refills. I am trying to figure out how much this would cast monthly. My daughter just started on the medication but I am researching alternatives for her. I am also new to DoTerra and the oils you mentioned would cost $237. I believe it is worth it but she is just starting out on her own and couldn’t afford that if it is monthly that you would purchase your oils.

Hi. Is clove oil safe for pregnant women?
Thanks!
Hi I have been on thyroid medication for years now. My friend made me a mixture of clove, lemongrass, peppermint, and myrrh. I’m not regular with using it as the smell effects my moms asthma. However recently I have been applying it at night before I go to bed (not sure if that’s a good thing?!). My friend uses all doterra products with fractionated coconut oil. (The recipe she used is 10 drops clove, 10 drops myrrh, 10 drops peppermint, 5 drops lemongrass into a 10ml rollerball vial filled to the top with defractionated coconut oil)
The mixture is a little intense for me so I have been rubbing it in my hands with some virgin raw coconut oil and applying it to my throat/chest (over my thyroid). But since I haven’t been regularly applying it (topical mixture) I’m concerned about the shelf life. Do you know how long it will stay good?
It should stay good for a long time if it’s in a dark glass bottle and stored in a cool place. If you’d like more info about how to use the oils for thyroid support, and the other parts of the endocrine system that also need support, you can take my free online class that I teach alongside my friend and fellow NTP: https://app.webinarjam.net/register/21771/01e0c62bff
I had a close friend that has been into essential oils for awhile make a blend for me for several ailments including hypothyroid and migraines. I have been applying to neck just once daily for 2 weeks. People have been saying they think my goiter/cysts have been shrinking already. I am truly amazed at what essential oils may be doing for me. I want to research more to see if I can help my thyroid.
That’s great! I think you’ll find my essential oils for thyroid support class very helpful! You can register here for free: https://app.webinarjam.net/register/21771/01e0c62bff
I’m confused, as a new EO user, about your recipe. I found a similar one but it uses 9 drops total in the 10 ml roller. Yours uses 120! Can you help me understand why? I thought I read somewhere that you shouldn’t use more than 15 drops per 10ml carrier oil, but I’m finding a lot of recipes that call for much more, like yours, and I’m afraid to over do it.
I am wanting to use essential oils for both thyroid and high blood pressure. From the information that I have found, the oils are applied to the bottoms of the feet for both conditions. Is there a way to accomplish this? Or, would it just be better to apply the oils for the thyroid on the thyroid?
You can put them on the feet for both issues.
Can you use avocado oil if you don’t have FCO on hand??
That would work!
My antibodies keep flaring up but my thyroid is still okay. To control the antibodies should I use your thyroid blend under my feet as recommended?
Yes, I would use this blend and also it would be a good idea to look into the root cause of the autoimmune attack. I would read my Thyroid articles (https://deliciouslyorganic.net/category/thyroid-disease/) and if you ever want to book a Nutritional Therapy consult with me, you can call my office at: 858.259.6000
How long should it take to see an improvement?

Hello. So you are saying that by supporting the thyroid, and being good for over AND under active thyroid, this will slow down t3&t4 production for over and cause more production of these hormones in under active thyroid? How can that be? Feeling very confused. Please help!
The answer to this question is multi-fauceted, so I recommend taking our free online class. We explain a wealth of knowledge in this class! https://app.webinarjam.net/register/21771/01e0c62bff
I just came across your website. I had my thyroid removed a couple years ago. Would your Thyroid Blend Recipe be sufficient for me? Or should I only use specific oils? And i assume I’d use in my feet only?
The thyroid blend is great even for those who’ve had their thyroid removed. I highly recommend you take this free class that I teach alongside a fellow NTP. I think you’ll learn a lot! https://app.webinarjam.net/register/21771/01e0c62bff
Rather than applying these oils on the throat or feet, will they still have positive effect if I used them in a diffuser instead? If so, is that ok for members of my household who do not have hypothyroidism and Hashimotos?
They will have a positive effect, but not the exact same effect as if you used them topically. Yes, these oils are good for those who don’t have thyroid disease.
Hi! I was wondering should I use this combo along with the Zendocrine or just one of them (if it matters, I do not have a thyroid)? Also, how long should I wait before walking around after putting the oils on my feet? Thanks so much for all your helpful advice!!!!
Hi,
I was wondering instead is lemongrass I could use litisea instead and mix with frankincense. I don’t have myrrh or clover and can’t afford it at the moment. Would it still be effective using frankincense and peppermint and litisea?
Hi, I am intrigued. I’ve got hashimotos and I’ve just made this blend without the mhyrr as I don’t have it.
1. How does this blend effect thyroid medication taken at present? Meaning do you think it will reduce the dependency of taking meds as the oils are doing a g8 job? Will my next blood test be effected – if so, a good sign meaning i can reduce meds and eventually go off them as the oils are working it’s magic?
2. If I put on my feet won’t it wear off when I walk?
(Ps – I take NDT & T3 thyroid meds at present)
During my training, I was taught that the bottom of the feet are not the best site to put EO, as the skin is too thick.
If you’d prefer to put it on the thyroid or spine, then you can do what works best for you.
I had my thyroid removed in 2013. I had thyroid cancer, but Thank God I’m okay now. I have check ups with my Endo every 6 months for blood work. I take synthroid 150 mcg. Can you give me some suggestions on how to use oils and which oils to use. Also any other advice for what kind of doctor/holistic to seek advice. I just want to see other approaches on improving my health. Thanks!
I have to types of frankincense: Boswellia Carterii and Boswellia Serrata. Which one is the one for this recipe? Thank you!
Hi, thanks for all the info! I am seeing two kinds of marjoram at the company from which I order oils, spanish and sweet. The website says they are not interchangeable. Which should I get?
I am also diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and am trying the essential oil route.
I just ordered all the ingredients for the thyroid blend from Young living which is also a pure therapeutic grade oil. So now I am committed to this financially and emotionally my question is, how do did you notice a differace in your symptoms? Also I am taking Amour thyroid medication will I need to start dosing down my meds, this is the goal to get off meds. Thank you sis and God bless you for all your help. Much Aloha to you.
I too have thyroid issues so this would be a great blend to use!
Is this recipe good for Hashimotos? Would it need to be tweaked at all?
Yes, this a great blend for Hashis.
Hi! I’m on my second month using Frankincense directly on my thyroid once a day. I’m finally losing weight and was feeling better overall but I’ve noticed around my cycle my PMS is absolutely insane. Incredibly severe anxiety, IBS. I noticed in month one, my period started on time for once so I thought the oil was helping balance everything. But month two is even worse. Anxiety so bad I can barely leave my house. I’m waiting to see if it gets better when Flo comes. I’m on natural Progesterone as well. But I can’t find any info online about what happens when the body is trying to get balanced, especially with Frankincense. Do you think this is normal? Should I stop the oil? Should I take something with it, for adrenals maybe? I’m kind of at a loss and have no idea where to find answers.
I don’t think this is a result of using frankincense, but of course, I don’t know your full health history, so it’s a bit hard to say. If you’re dealing with severe anxiety, I would focus on taking steps to support the adrenals. And, adding progesterone to the mix can sometimes help in the beginning, but can often backfire and cause adrenal issues down the road, so it’s possible the cream is affecting your adrenal health. Here is an article I wrote with 20 steps you can take to balance your adrenals: https://deliciouslyorganic.net/20-steps-heal-adrenal-fatigue/
I love this site and all your info!
I’m guessing I have a thyroid problem and so I’m about to make your roller bottle recipe. Would this thyroid blend be enough to also affect high blood pressure? (I started a recipe of lemongrass and frankincense for that).
High blood pressure can be rooted in many different things, so it’s hard to say. I would start with using oils to lower your stress to then help lower your blood pressure.
I see you recommend using EOs neat (undiluted). I have heard that we should never do that and frankly, it’s wasteful. Dr. Eric Z, whom I trust, says they should always be diluted with a carrier oil.
As I mention in my article, if you’re not comfortable with the dilution recommended, you can just do whatever works best for you.
Is it bad to put the roller blend on your thyroid directly instead of feet? I have been doing that. Didnt realize it was to be feet.?
Most people have sensitive skin on their neck, so that’s why I recommend the feet or spine.
I need to change it then. My neck itches all the time and I definitely do have sensitive skin there because sunscreen there bothers me there and oddly ocean water bothers my skin?
I made the roller ball blend and applying it to my feet AM & PM, I roll it couple of times and massage it in than put socks on, is that ok to do or should I leave socks off?
Thank you!
Thank you for this wealth of information. For close to 18 years, I was treated by a traditional endocrinologist for what he diagnosed as Hypothyroidism. He had me on the same dose (Levoxyl 133 mcg) for 18 years and it never fluctuated her changed. I trusted his knowledge and never explored learning about the Thyroid and Pituitary gland function. It wasn’t until I began experiencing menopause and turned to an Integrative practice for bio-idential Hormone replacement, that I learned that I in fact, did not have Hypothyroidism, but Hashimotos disease. The search for the right physician was quite a process, because I was searching for someone who had experience with Hashimoto, MTHFR, and BHRT. My FT3 and FT4 seem to stay at the normal, but low side. My THS has gone from low to off the charts. I believe due to a functional medical doctor that never could get me balanced. Finally, I am back with the doctor that seems to be the most knowledgable. She tracks everything from Vit. B, D, cholesterol, lipids, hormone balance (progesterone/estrogen, as well as my thyroid. Your website is amazing, and trust me…. I know from a long, researched journey that you are right on all of the information you provide here at Deliciously Organic. I found you this morning, when searching for natural remedies for lowering TSH through diet. I joined your meal plan and am waiting for instructions on viewing meal plans. I am also a discount buyer of DoTERRA for many years now. Interestingly, I always forget about how implementing essential oils can make such a huge difference. After reading this post this morning, I jumped over to my oil boxes and had every single one of the oils that you suggested and am so excited to start using them daily. Thank you for caring for others by sharing your journey and expertise.
Very Kindest Regards,
Debbie
My 11 year old with Down Syndrome was just diagnosed with Graves’ disease, can I use these oils on her?
I too am wondering about
I found a similar one but it uses 9 drops total in the 10 ml roller. Yours uses 120! Can you help me understand why? I thought I read somewhere that you shouldn’t use more than 15 drops per 10ml carrier oil, but I’m finding a lot of recipes that call for much more, like yours, and I’m afraid to over do it.
Thank you
I feel comfortable using oils without dilution, so a blend that contains a lot of drops that I use a few swipes of is ok with me. But if you’re not comfortable with that dilution, you can reduce it.
