It is often said that no illness enhances a person’s appearance, and that’s true since an illness brings only problems. Overcoming it is not always easy; in fact, it can be quite challenging. However, one should never give up on treatment, and it is always essential to believe that any illness can be conquered. Only in this case can any treatment be effective.
Each organ is responsible for a specific function within the human body. The thyroid gland, for example, processes and stores iodine. A lack of iodine can negatively affect the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, as well as other internal organs. Therefore, it’s crucial that the thyroid functions properly. If you suddenly notice that it has become slightly enlarged, you should seek medical attention immediately to undergo a diagnosis. This enlargement is often a symptom of a condition known as goiter.
This disease needs to be treated. Traditional medicine also offers remedies for goiter, providing a range of folk remedies that, while they may not completely cure the disease, can at least halt its progression and prevent further development.
This disease can develop due to a lack of iodine, which the human body absorbs from water, the air we breathe, and the food we consume. In case of iodine deficiency, it is recommended to consume plants rich in iodine. Although iodine can also be taken in through pharmaceutical products, natural sources are generally healthier for the body. Thus, folk medicine successfully treats goiter using various herbal preparations, with different plants forming the basis of these treatments. Those who have been suffering from this disease for a long time may be familiar with a plant known as “goiter plant.” It grows in less-than-clean environments, but it can also be cultivated in your garden. However, it should be used with great caution since it is poisonous and contains a lot of iodine. Anyone can make a tincture from this herb by boiling dried herbs on low heat in the proportion of one dessert spoon per half liter of water or taking drops of freshly squeezed juice. The dosage will differ for adults and children.
Folk medicine also recommends treating goiter by using an ointment made from this plant, with fat or oil as a base, and applying it to the throat at night. Herbalists suggest various herbal decoctions, and you can find numerous recipes in any herbal manual. These include calendula (you can read more about calendula in folk medicine), celandine, silver cinquefoil, skullcap, cudweed, hops, flax, parsley, cabbage, and celery, whose freshly squeezed juice can help combat this disease. Beets, lettuce, pumpkin, strawberries, dill, and grains are also rich in iodine. It is also found in fish, milk, seaweed, and certain types of mushrooms.
Different remedies work for different people. Some may benefit from a compress made of grated pumpkin mixed with sunflower oil. Others may drink a tincture made from walnut partitions (you can read about cedar nuts in folk medicine). Melissa not only calms the nervous system but also aids in the fight against goiter. Additionally, a seaside vacation is beneficial; sea water not only heals but also brings relief.
To avoid illness, it’s essential to take care of your health and not overindulge in harmful foods.
