Lugol's Solution also known as Lugol's Iodine. It was first made in 1829. It is a solution of elemental iodine and potassium iodide in water.
Lugol's Solution has been used traditionally to replenish iodine deficiency. Iodine reduces thyroid hormone and can kill fungus, bacteria, and other microorganisms such as amoebas. A specific kind of iodine called potassium iodide is also used to treat (but not prevent) the effects of a radioactive accident.
Iodine deficiency has been linked to breast cancer and is associated with fatigue and weight gain.
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroid conditions are said to benefit from supplemental iodine at very different dosages.
