Hyper and hypothyroid are two most common endocrine disorders that originate as a result of malfunctioning of the thyroid gland. When this butterfly shape gland in your neck doesn't work at its peak efficiency it causes an over all imbalance, This results in the form of fatigue, sudden increase and decrease in weight, hair fall, bulging Eyes, mood swings, depression, menstrual disorders and even infertiliy. There is no doubt that thyroid malfunction is a serious disorder but I assure that it can be permanently cured in 4 simple steps. Modern science however says that thyroid problems cannot be cured they can only be managed, that's where ayurveda comes to rescue.

If you go back 30 years and you will find very few people suffering from thyroid but today in India alone more than 42000 peoples are suffering from thyroid problem; our unhealthy, inactive, stressful lifestyle is to be blamed. Even top medical doctors will tell you that, women being hormonally sensitive are more prone to this disorder. However today even males are fast developing thyroid problems, no doubt thyroid is a serious disease but it can be permanently cured provided that you are really serious about making a few changes in your lifestyle else you will have no choice but to depend on life long prescription of pills.

The 4 simple steps to cure thyroid are-

1. Pills are not the solution-

T3 and T4 are two primary hormones produced by the thyroid gland. when the thyroid is not able to produce enough of it or produces excess of it then thyroid diseases develop that's when this hormone is prescribed in the form of a pill. generally it's T4 but it's hardly solve any problem, even you doctors would tell you that this will not cure your thyroid disease but it will only manage it as long as you keep supplying T4 in the form of Pill. That's why you can see women around you taking drugs forever and ever and still having a thyroid problem, That's not all trying to bring about an ideal hormonal imbalance through pills may have many side effects and hoping to get cure through these pills then you are simply wasting your time and money. Unless your thyroid problem is acute or very serious you should without a second thought through these pills in the dustbin but if it's really serious then quickly taper down the medicine within a few weeks.

2. Ayurvedic remedy-

There is one oil which has been given a lot of importance in the ayurvedic scriptures to treat thyroid and it's Akhrot tailam, that Is 100% pure cold pressed walnut oil. All you need to do is every night before going to sleep take 4 to 5 drops of walnut oil and massage the thyroid area to heal it. It is  important to understand that your thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland which is located at the base of the brain. So massaging the neck with walnut oil which is best for the brain taps the root cause, cold pressed walnut oil is easily available online. You can also massage your neck with red onion juice, that's also very effective. Just like walnut oil coriander seed water is also highly effective for thyroid, for this you have to take one teaspoon of coriander seeds and crush them not using a mixer grinder but a motor pastel.

If you don't have a motor pastel then you can simply use the chakla belan, don't use mixture grinder because it will heat the seeds which will defeat the purpose. You can even grind more coriander seeds at once and store in an airtight glass jar to use daily. Now simply put these seeds in a glass of water and keep it overnight, in the morning boil this water on a low flame until it reduces to half the quantity, this will ensure that all the vital nutrients have seeped into the water. Finally strain off the seeds and slowly sip this medicinal coriander water, consume it in the morning at least 30 minutes before breakfast, do not eat anything between. If you are taking any other juice or anything at this point of time then please skip it for the next 3 months. If you really want to throw this disease out of your body then practice both these remedies daily for 3 months without fail, this will solve half the problem.

3. Daily yoga-

The amazing thing about yoga is that there are some very specific breathing exercises and asanas for thyroid which are not only easy but are also super effective. Let's start with tank Vidya, sit in a straight position then simply Hum the sound of Om without opening the mouth and simultaneously keep moving your head up and down. While doing it you can actually notice your thyroid gland vibrating, it's an amazing exercise do it five times.

Ujjayi pranayam, it is probably the most effective yoga for thyroid. Firstly close the mouth and constrict the throat then start inhaling slowly and rythmically in one long and unbroken inspiration. Allow the air to pass through the constricted throat creating a friction sound, retain the inhaled air for as long as possible in Jalandhar bandh position and then Exhale through the left nostril. You might experience little coughing in the beginning but that's completely normal, do it for 5 minutes.

Singhasana or the Lion pose, in this asana the body and face are manipulated at once to invoke the force and intensity of a Lion's roar. In fact this posture is best to get rid of thyroid problem, do it 10 times. So doing this basic yoga routine is must for fast recovery, if you can't even spare 15 minutes for it then I am sorry to say but you are not really serious about curing thyroid.

4. Food and lifestyle-

Iodine is the most important mineral for ideal thyroid function but please avoid iodised free flowing refined common salt where iodine is synthetically added, Instead switch to rock salt which naturally contains iodine. There are some big NOs when suffering from thyroid disease, these are soya products, stored refrigerated foods and cold water, make sure to use an earthern pot instead. Cabbage, cauliflower and peanuts are three foods that can be consumed but only if they are well roasted or cooked, avoid raw. Caffeinated and tannin based drinks like tea and coffee do hinder with thyroid healing, keep them to minimum. It's imperative that you stop eating preservative laden packaged food for a while and switch to fresh homely food and it's not difficult simply follow the healthy plate method.

Next time when you sit to eat, fill half your plate with seasonal vegetables, 1/4 part of the plate with protein rich curry like daal or paneer and the remaining 1/4 part with complex carbohydrates like roti, rice or millets. First eat the salad and then hop on cooked food. Eat raw onion as salad, it helps curing thyroid then coconut because it is rich in lauric acid, you can simply eat it as a snack. Fresh seasonal fruits must be a part of your daily diet then there are some underrated lifestyle changes. Firstly avoid the use of plastic as much as possible as they hinder with hormone function and switch to stainless steels and glass containers. Secondly maintain proper sleep timing and try to remain stress free, it will also greatly help you if you stop using non stick or aluminium cooking utensils and switch to something like clay, brass or iron pots.
