Home Remedies for Goiter.
Goiter refers to a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck.
Women are more prone to this disease than men.
The initial symptoms of goiter may be emotional upsets
which gradually increase in duration. Other symptoms
which appear subsequently are loss of power of
concentration, irritability, and depression. The thyroid
gland may swell but this has no relation to the severity of
the ailment.
Deficiency of iodine in the diet is the most common cause
of goiter. The thyroid gland makes use of organic iodine in
its secretion and a diet deficient in organic iodine is a
predisposing factor towards the appearance of this
disease,especially under physical and emotional
disturbances.

Goiter gradually affects those who habitually live on denatured foods and not those who eat much of their food
in a raw or uncooked state.
Goiter Treatment using Iodine:
Iodine is, undoubtedly, most helpful in many cases, but it should be given in its organic form. All foods containing
iodine should be taken liberally. These are lettuce, turnips, carrots, garlic, onions, oats, pineapples, whole rice,
tomatoes, watercress, strawberries, guavas, citrus fruits, egg yolks, and sea foods.
