Water Therapy :   We generally recommend doing Water Therapy  to cleanse your body and reduce weight to some extent.   Instead of drinking plain room temperature water you can drink luke warm water (with general flavors like  mint leaves, cardamom, ashwagandha, guggul  hibiscus flowers etc   for better results.

Fire Therapy:  Walk twice in the morning and evening. Do Pancha Bhoota walking to relax your mind. The mental irritations and frustrations lead to these health problems and therefore it is good to relax the mind from those negative tendencies. Always be aware of the throat region while observing your breath during walking.

Pancha Bhoota Walking with breath awareness is very good to relax the mind.

Yoga is very good especially Surya Namaskar given in fire section. It helps in good lymphatic circulation.  The throat stretching step in this exercise is highly beneficial to bring back normal levels of thyroid. Be aware of the throat region and the thyroid gland while doing this. Feel good blood circulation and lymphatic circulation while stretching the throat region. The more you stretch the better the blood and lymph circulation to the throat region.

Sun-Therapy: Not being exposed to sun light is one reason for increasing thyroid problem especially in women who are very cosmetic conscious. Fearing getting dark complexion leads women to be exposed less to sunlight which leads to Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is not just for bones as initially thought. Now researchers see connection in every aspect of health from cancers to thyroid function. This article on Vitamin D Deficiency and Thyroid Disease support the view.

We recommend to expose yourself for 15 to 30 minutes in the sun light in the morning (less UV rays in the morning sunlight). You can do walking or Sun Meditation also.

Air therapy: Taking a long breath and relaxes every now and then reduces stress in the body. DoingPranayama  5 minutes morning and evening is also good.

Space Therapy: Similarly relaxation  of the mind reduces stress.
