Basal Body Temperatute Studies for Thyroid Function:
Of all the problems that can affect health, none can be more common, more easily corrected, yet more untreated and unsuspected, than low thyroid gland functioning, called hypothyroidism.
Thyroid function may have an effect on many of the degenerative disease processes that we encounter, such as hardening of the arteries, cholesterol abnormalities, high blood pressure, skin disorders, menstrual abnormalities, low resistance to infections, and many other conditions.
A simple test has been devised to evaluate thyroid activity, this is performed simply by taking the axillary (under arm) temperature every morning for ten (10) consecutive days.
Instructions For Taking Basal Body Temperature:
- Use an ordinary oral or rectal thermometer.
- Shake down the thermometer the night before, and place it on your nightstand.
- The first thing in the morning BEFORE you get out of bed, place the therometer under your arm for ten
(10) minutes.
- Record the temperature reading and date in the places below.

- Averages below indicate hypothyroidism.
- Averages above indicate hyperthyroidism.
If the patient winds up having a fairly normal thyroid panel, yet the basal temperatures are consistently less than 97.6 degrees farenheit, you may still consider treating the patient for hypothyroidism. The treatment would proceed for approximately 30 days, then re-evaluate.
