Thyroid Wellness : Simple Daily Practices (Medicine free, of course)

I have not taken a thyroid tablet in over 7 years. While I did take them in the past, for 6 whole years - my dosage was even doubled during my pregnancy! I was told I would have to take these medicines for life, until I knew better and realised that my body has the power to heal itself. It's your choice whether you want to be lazy and pop a tablet or maintain your thyroid health with or without medicines. (I chose the latter) Here's what how I do it! ?

?? Acupressure : The Hidden Power of Pressure Points

Did you know that your thumb could hold the key to thyroid health? By applying pressure on and around the fleshy part under your thumb for just a few minutes daily, you can stimulate crucial thyroid hormones. It's a fascinating way to connect with your thyroid and support its well-being.

?? Mudras : Hand Gestures for Thyroid Balance

Shankh Mudra and Shunya Mudra are two mudras (hand gestures) that can boost your thyroid's vitality. Dedicate 15-20 minutes to these mudras twice a day, and you'll feel an energising flow of life force. It's like having a secret handshake with your thyroid, strengthening your connection and enhancing overall health!

?? Asanas : Yoga Poses for Thyroid Stimulation

As some of you may know, daily Intravascular exercises are a MUST for thyroid. Yoga offers a delightful way to support your thyroid. Consider incorporating Sarvangasana (shoulder stand), Bhujangasana (cobra pose), and even Ushtrasana (camel pose) into your daily routine. These asanas stimulate the thyroid gland and help maintain its optimal function. (Please do under expert supervision!)

?? Pranayama : A Breath of Life for Your Thyroid

Your thyroid thrives on Prana (energy), so pranayama provides the nourishment it needs. Spend just 15-20 minutes daily practicing Ujjayi Pranayama, a soothing technique that reduces stress and revitalises your thyroid. And Simha Kriya - an empowering way to boost thyroid health!

?? Hydrotherapy : For Thyroid Rejuvenation

Treat your thyroid to a spa day with Patti therapy. Whether you choose to indulge every day for 21 days or alternate days, this simple practice is pure magic. Place wet cloth strips of room temperature on your forehead, throat, and stomach, and let them work their magic for 30 minutes or until they dry. Your thyroid will thank you with a sense of rejuvenation.

Also, simply switching to high alkaline water with a pH level of 8+ makes a huge difference!

In addition to these captivating practices, remember the fundamental rules of thyroid wellness:

• avoid stress,
• prioritise restful sleep (don't underestimate it's power since it's one of the crucial underlying causes of thyroid!)
• stay active through regular exercise,
• bid farewell to processed food, especially sugar, flour, oily and salty foods. (more about foods for Thyroid coming soon!)

These lifestyle changes not only support your thyroid but also enhance your overall quality of life. ?

Thyroid health doesn't have to be a routine journey filled with doctor's appointments and medications. Instead, it can be enriched by engaging practices that benefit your thyroid and overall well-being. Your thyroid will thrive, and you'll relish every step of the journey! ????
