“I am feeling lethargic. I forgot to take my thyroid pills today.” These were the words of Shubhangi, a 27-year-old female, who has been suffering from thyroid disorder and starts her day by popping a thyroid pill every day.

Earlier, disorders like thyroid, diabetes and heart problems were considered lifestyle or genetic disorders that affected people in their 40s or 50s. Nowadays, people as young as in their 20s or 30s are getting affected by such chronic disorders. The reason is our fast-paced, ever-changing lifestyle and poor eating habits. Like Shubhangi, there are 42 million people in India who are suffering from thyroid disorder. Sadly, half of them don’t even know about the thyroid gland until they get diagnosed with it.

The Thyroid Gland

The thyroid is a small pear-shaped gland located just below your neck, which regulates major functions in your body like metabolic rate, heart and digestive function, muscle control, brain development, mood and bone maintenance. However, when this regulator doesn’t work, it causes thyroid problems like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. When you visit a doctor, they usually ask for thyroid level test. Basis on your test result, you are prescribed supplements to balance your thyroid level.

Natural Home Remedies For Thyroid

  1. Weak metabolism and digestion affect the thyroid gland and vice-versa. Toxins (ama) gets deposited in the body and further weakens the digestive fire (agni). Therefore, to regulate your metabolism and digestion, you can take Jiva Aam Pachak Churna. You can also make a powder at home by mixing saunth, jeera, dhaniya (10 gm each) and pudina & saunf (20 gm each). Have one tsp. after meals twice a day with lukewarm water.
  2. For thyroid patients, it becomes extremely difficult to lost weight or maintain a healthy weight. So, for body detox & weight loss, you can squeeze half lemon into 1 cup of warm water and mix 1 spoon of honey to it and start your morning with this healthy drink. You can also have Jiva Slim Tea for internal detoxification and weight loss.
  3. You can make Trikatu churna at home. It is a classical Ayurvedic formulation that combines the goodness of long pepper, black pepper, and ginger (saunth). This churna can be made by mixing an equal quantity of all the ingredients in powdered form. You can take 1/2 or 1 tsp. of this churna with lukewarm water, two times a day.
  4. Practice bhujangasana pose as it helps stretch the neck and throat region which further increases the thyroid functioning.
  5. Practice stress reduction techniques as chronic stress is one of the primary causes of thyroid disorder, especially in women.
