I also have hyperthyroidism. I am not taking any medication, but trying to eat more goitrogens such as broccoli, cauliflower, pears, cabbage and turnips. HypOthyroid people are recommended to stay away from these as they interfere with thyroid hormones, but they are recommended for us. I have noticed I feel calmer after eating a couple of turnips very lightly cooked. Cooking by the way, destroys the antithyroid effect.

I am also staying away from high iodene food such as eggs and anything from the sea, included sea salt.

Coconut is recommended for those with hypO, so this I stay away from. I've also reduced exercise as anything which increases metabolism such as exercise and even hot spices will make symptoms worse to someone with an already superhigh metabolism.

I have researched most vitamins and minerals and they all seem to support the production of thyroid hormones, especially selenium, so I have had to cut these out too as they really make my symptoms worse. This one however is a difficult one. Because hypers especially need a good suppliment supply as we burn up nutrients fast.....

There aren't really much good alternative advice on how to treat hyper naturally. I have however read that carnitine reduces the hyper symptoms.
