Beat hyperthyroidism with these natural remedies

These alternative therapies can be a huge help in dealing with this widespread condition

Hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough of the body’s required hormones, is a common condition in India and Asia. This condition also affects women after pregnancy and as they age. One of the biggest causes of hypothyroidism is a lack of iodine, which can only be procured through your diet. This is why the government has mandated that all table salt in the country must be iodised.
