Crystals for Thyroid Support
Learn which are the best crystals for supporting your thyroid and how to promote a healthy hormone system.
The thyroid is an important gland in our body that regulates our metabolism, growth, and development. When the thyroid is out of balance and not functioning properly, it can lead to a variety of health issues, including weight gain, fatigue, and depression.
Crystals have been used throughout time to promote healing and balance in the body. While traditional medical treatments can be effective, some people turn to holistic treatments, such as crystal healing, to support their thyroid health. Crystals used for healing purposes have risen in popularity, for their ability to help the body balance its energy centers (also known as chakras).
What are some crystals used for thyroid healing? Here are seven crystals that can support your thyroid:
Amazonite
One of the most recommended crystals for any hormone related issues is Amazonite. Perfect for balancing masculine and feminine energies and regaining a sense of peace and calm, this crystal is known for its hormone-balancing effects.
The soothing hues of Amazonite are your first hint at its healing properties, which are associated with calming and balancing the throat chakra. By balancing the energy flow through the throat chakra, Amazonite can help promote a healthy and happy thyroid gland.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis Lazuli is another semi-precious blue gemstone that is great for thyroid support. It is known for its cooling and calming properties, making it ideal for many physical health issues. Lapis Lazuli is also great for energy protection, which can help shield your mental health and your stress levels from negative influences. This gemstone also supports a healthy thyroid through its positive interaction with the pituitary gland, which produces the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH).
Aquamarine
The next recommended gemstone is Aquamarine, which is great for stress relief. Stress is often a major factor in thyroid issues, so this crystal can help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with stress. Aquamarine pairs well with other calming crystals, as well as with gems for fertility, as it helps to balance the hormones and bring peace along life’s journey.
Aquamarine is useful for dealing with people in a calm, clear and effective way, helping you communicate your ideas and have them received with clarity. This helps to relieve energetic blockages within the throat chakra, allowing for better energy flow and health within this area of the physical and energetic body.
Sodalite
Sodalite is a deep blue crystal that enhances healing for the Third Eye Chakra and Throat Chakra. Sodalite soothes emotions and helps you reconnect with your inner truth and intuition. Through the throat chakra, this gemstone also help you speak your truth in love, so that you can say whatever needs to be said and create peace for yourself. By placing sodalite on your forehead or wearing it as jewelry near your throat, you can protect and balance the thyroid!
Blue Apatite
This bright blue crystal helps to boost metabolism, maintain a positive outlook, and achieve your desired outcomes. While the four crystals above are great for overall thyroid support, Blue Apatite is geared specifically for hypo (low) thyroid function. Slow metabolism is often an issue for people with hypothyroid problems, and the energy of Blue Apatite can help ramp up metabolism, as well as helping boost motivation and determination for your healing journey. It can also be used to facilitate in public speaking, and enhanced communication, thereby supporting throat chakra health.
As a stone of Manifestation, Blue Apatite helps you tune into your desired future and bring it into your present. Thus it is a powerful helper for any health journey!
Selenite
If your specific thyroid issues involve overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroid) or immune conditions, such as Graves’ disease, then you’ll do well adding Selenite to your crystal support system. This soft clear or white gem supports relieving and soothing an overactive thyroid. It is also a powerful cleanser of negative energies, which can support healing on an emotional/spiritual level, as well as cleansing the physical body too. This pairs beautifully with Rhodonite, as well, for autoimmune support.

Why Should You Care About Balancing Energy?
You may be wondering why balancing your energy is so important. The truth is that everything in our body is interconnected, and when one thing is off balance, it can create a domino effect. Hormones are energy, and if they are not balanced, it can lead to a host of problems, including thyroid issues.
By using healing crystals to balance your energy and promote a healthy hormone system, you can help prevent these problems from occurring. Crystals work by interacting with the energy centers of the body and promoting balance, harmony, and healing.
If you are struggling with thyroid issues or any other hormone-related problems, incorporating healing crystals into your routine may be worth considering. While crystal healing is not a substitute for medical treatment*, it can be a helpful complementary therapy to support the health of your thyroid. Amazonite, Blue Apatite, Sodalite, Lapis Lazuli, and Aquamarine are just a few of the many crystals that can help balance your energy and promote a healthy hormone system. Remember to always choose high-quality crystals and use them with intention and care for the best results.

Personal Experience of our founder, Erin Hollon
Nine years ago, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism after experiencing a long period of poor health, digestive issues, and extreme fatigue. After receiving my diagnosis, my next step was to find a doctor who could help me manage my condition and eventually improve it. I was determined not to live the rest of my life in a cycle of medication, exhaustion, weight fluctuation, and hair loss.
Fortunately, I was able to find an amazing doctor who combined standard medical practices with holistic supplements and techniques. Throughout our appointments, she repeatedly asked me how I was feeling emotionally and how my stress levels were. At first, I kept insisting that I was fine, but then it finally hit me – I was actually stressed all the time. I just didn't know it because it was always there, lurking beneath the surface of my external calm.
It was at this moment that I realized I needed to address my stress levels in order to truly heal from my disease. I started researching natural healing methods to help reduce stress and stumbled upon crystals. Despite having tried almost every natural method out there, crystals were something I had never attempted.
I purchased an Aquamarine crystal, wrapped it to create a necklace, and wore it every day as a reminder to myself that my health was more important than anything else. Any time I felt stress level rising, I held the crystal and repeated an affirmation until the anxiety faded away. It was like walking myself back from the brink of an stress-induced meltdown. While it helped a little bit, I still felt like I needed more help to speed my healing process.
Desperate for additional natural remedies to support my hormone health and balance, I reached out on Facebook to see if anyone had any suggestions. A friend recommended an essential oil blend that she had used herself, and I immediately ordered and began applying them twice daily. This began my year-long journey towards continually reducing stress and improving my health.
Within a few months of incorporating the crystals and essential oil blends into my routine, I was able to go off my medication. Over time, I continued to feel better and better, until I had more energy than I could ever remember having in years. Additionally, my hair grew back, my weight balanced out, and I wasn't feeling stressed nearly as much anymore.
Throughout the years since, I’ve found other crystals, oils, supplements, and stress-relief practices that help me to maintain optimal health of my mind, body and spirit. And I’ve created tailored thyroid support jewelry and crystal + oil rollers to make it even easier for others to get the same results I’ve experienced.
Looking back on my journey, it's shocking to think that I once lived in constant pain, with low energy levels, and never-ending stress. However, thanks to my doctor, my determination, and my use of crystals and essential oils, I was able to overcome my hypothyroidism and regain my health.
The experience of discovering the healing powers of crystals and essential oils was so impactful that it became the inspiration for my wellness business. Today, I am passionate about sharing my journey and helping others to achieve optimal health and wellness through natural remedies.
