Are you male, female? What is the purpose you are taking hormones for? Perhaps you should stop taking synthetic hormones and let your body's natural intelligence try to find its balance again. I recently had a very bad experience taking some synthetic hormones and ended up in the hospital with jaundice.

I don't know much about thyroidal hormones but here's an example of a post I recently made on black cohosh:

It's selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) compounds were found to be non-estrogenic and anti-estrogenic at receptors in the hypothalmus, bone, liver, brain, and arteries primarily.

Synthetic SERMS are usually taken with prohormones and steroids by bodybuilders to minimize effects from excess testosterone being converted to estrogens.

Usually SERMs are estrogenic at some receptors and anti at others and the point is to get the benefits of estrogen and none of the negative effects by blocking the receptors from the free-flowing estrogens in the body. The fact that they bind at estrogen receptor sites still makes them estrogens (they still have estrogenic effects).

Natural black cohosh doesn't. It can be used all the time and to greater effect.

Black cohosh binds at these estrogen receptor sites but doesn't cause any estrogen-like effects and is anti-estrogenic, which would mean it would clean any natural estrogens in your body from effecting you by blocking the receptors. Like those artificial estrogens/hormone disrupters like those that are leached from plastic water bottles.

Most aphrodisiac herbs probably also play a role in gently boosting the body's natural sex hormones. Here is an herbalism podcast about hypothyroidism:

"João Meirinhos created a compelling and sublime documentary that reaffirms the power of the world's greatest traditional medicine, ayahuasca. Assembling an impressive cast of traditional practitioners, aficionados and western converts, 'Mirror of the Spirit' bubbles like the brew itself to reveal the essence of the ayahuasca experience. And, like the ayahuasca vine, it entwines the viewer with an authentic and compelling message that is hard to resist.
Grounded in strong ethnographic roots, 'Mirror of the Spirit' captures the spirit of this eclectic mix of contributors all of whom have been transformed by the power of the medicine in a myriad different ways. Once again we are reminded that the message of ayahuasca is more relevant today than at any point in our history."

Alexander Sasha Shulgin is the scientist behind more than 200 psychedelic compounds including MDMA, more commonly known as Ecstasy.

Considered to be one of the greatest chemists of the 20th century, Sasha s vast array of discoveries have had a profound impact in the field of psychedelic research, making him a subject of fascination and controversy among fellow scientists and a folk hero to recreational users of psychedelics.

Dirty Pictures uncovers the lifework of Dr. Shulgin and takes viewers inside his Northern California home where he lives with his wife of 40 years and continues to carry out experiments in a makeshift laboratory.

Director Etienne Sauret likewise delves into the broader world of psychedelic research where the fields of chemistry, neuroscience and philosophy intersect and investigates whether or not this particular field could aid in solving the deepest mysteries of the human mind.

Piri-piri airibenqui (en la etnia machiguenga)
En la Amazonía hay varias plantas de la fam. de las Ciperáceas que llaman piri-piri con propiedades medicinales específicas, al uso de las diferentes etnias amazónicas. El piri-piri, como todas las plantas que tienen tan amplio uso medicinal, es considerado mágico; dicho de forma más propia y acorde a su cultura de selva, estas son consideradas plantas maestras. Por encontrarnos en territorio de la etnia machiguenga, suponemos este es el que ellos llaman piri-piri airibenqui. Todos los piri-piri Cyperus spp. son hierbas que pueden alcanzar más de 1 m de altura. El piri-piri airibenqui es el que utilizan contra enfermedades de la vista y, en general, para mejorar la visión; usan el jugo del bulbo directamente sobre los ojos o bien lo cuecen y lo toman como agua del tiempo, con el mismo fin medicinal.

"I am the woman who was born alone
I am the woman who fell alone
I am the woman who waits
I am the woman who seeks
I am the woman who looks inward
I am the woman who looks under the water
I am the sacred swimmer
Because I can swim in greatness.

I am the moon woman
I am the woman who flies
I am the meteor woman
I am the woman of the sandal constellation
I am the woman of the cane constellation
I am the star woman
God
Because I've gone to these places since the beginning.

I am the woman of breeze
I am the woman of fresh dew
I am the woman of dawn
I am the woman of twilight.

I am the woman who blossoms
I am the woman who was uprooted
I am the woman who cries
I am the woman who whistles
I am the woman who makes noise
I am the woman who plays the drum
I am the woman who plays the trumpet
I am the woman who plays the violin
I am the woman who cheers
Because I am the holy clown.

I am the sunstone woman
I am the daylight woman
I am the woman who makes things revolve
I am the woman of heaven
I am the woman of good
I am the pure woman
I am the woman of spirit
Because I can enter and I can leave the kingdom of death.

I am the woman who draws out
I am the woman who cleanses
I am the woman who cures
I am the woman who sets right
I am the woman of herbs
I am the woman wise in language
Because I am the woman wise in medicine."
-Maria Sabina
