Among the diseases that are affecting people the most today due to poor lifestyle, mental stress and unbalanced eating habits, Thyroid has become a very major problem. When this butterfly-shaped thyroid gland located in the neck disturbs the balance of essential hormones in the body, the person’s weight either suddenly increases (hypothyroidism) or decreases rapidly (hyperthyroidism). Apart from this, common symptoms are lethargy, fatigue, hair fall and mood swings all the time. Although people regularly take medicines for this, but health experts believe that along with medicines, if correct home remedies and a disciplined diet chart are followed, then thyroid can be controlled very easily in a natural way.
Most effective home remedies to control thyroid
Many best ways to make the thyroid gland active and healthy again have been suggested in Ayurveda and home remedies. The first and sure shot remedy is ‘whole coriander water’. Soak two teaspoons of whole coriander in a glass of water overnight and boil it in the morning until half the water remains, then drink it lukewarm and drink it on an empty stomach. Apart from this, consuming one spoon of pure coconut oil every morning on an empty stomach speeds up the metabolism of the body, which is very important for thyroid patients. At the same time, massaging the neck area lightly with walnut oil or pumpkin seed oil also proves to be very helpful in improving the functioning of the thyroid gland.
Know the exact diet plan for thyroid patients.
Your diet plays the biggest role in thyroid problem. If you are suffering from hypothyroidism (which causes weight gain), you should include foods rich in iodine, zinc and selenium in your diet. For this, consumption of pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds and whole grains is very beneficial. Along with this, green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits and low-fat dairy products provide essential nutrition to your body. At the same time, always keeping the body hydrated i.e. drinking at least 8 to 10 glasses of water throughout the day is the easiest way to remove thyroid toxins.
Do not eat these things even by mistake, your problems may increase.
As important as it is to know what to eat, it is equally important to understand which things should be completely avoided during thyroid. Thyroid patients should limit or stop the consumption of foods containing ‘Goitrogens’, because these elements prevent the absorption of iodine in the body. These include cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, turnip and soybean products (such as soya badi or tofu). Apart from this, excessive consumption of sugar, refined flour, processed foods, packaged juices and caffeine (tea-coffee) can suddenly disturb your thyroid hormone levels, which also slows down the effect of the medicines.
Yoga and Pranayam will provide permanent relief
If you include a little physical exertion and yoga in your routine along with home remedies and proper diet, then you can say goodbye to thyroid problems forever. In yoga science, ‘Ujjayi Pranayam’ is considered the best panacea for thyroid. While doing this pranayam, a special sound is made from the throat, due to which the thyroid gland vibrates and the secretion of hormones is balanced. Apart from this, regular practice of yoga asanas like ‘Sarvangasana’ and ‘Matsyasana’ increases blood circulation in the throat area. Just 15 to 20 minutes of yoga every morning will help in curing thyroid from its roots by reducing your mental stress.
