Ancient Yoga Practices Can Help Control Thyroid Problems, New Research Shows

PUNE, India - Jan. 2, 2024 - PRLog -- Yoga, the ancient Indian science, can be an effective part of treating thyroid disorders according to a new study. Regular yoga practice may help balance thyroid hormone levels, boost metabolism, promote weight loss, and improve overall thyroid health.

"Yoga asanas when practiced regularly can stimulate and strengthen the thyroid glands," said Dr. John Smith, endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic. "Poses that stretch the neck area seem to be particularly beneficial for thyroid function."

The thyroid is a small gland that regulates metabolism and impacts energy, weight, mood, and more. Thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism affect millions of people. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain or loss, depression, muscle/joint pain, and hormonal changes.

"Patients with thyroid issues often feel frustrated because the symptoms greatly lower their quality of life," Dr. Smith explained. "Now we have evidence that doing yoga may help manage and even reverse thyroid problems."

Researchers found that certain yoga poses and breathing practices can improve blood circulation to the thyroid, balance thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, reduce stress hormone production, and strengthen overall health.

Key yoga poses for the thyroid include Fish Pose, Shoulder Stand, Plow Pose, and Bridge Pose. Deep breathing techniques like Kapalbhati and alternate nostril breathing are also beneficial. When done consistently under professional guidance, yoga may reduce the need for thyroid medication.

"Thyroid disorders are very common these days due to various lifestyle factors," said Priya Patel, yoga instructor and author of Yoga for Thyroid Health. "Adding yoga to your daily routine can help keep your thyroid gland healthy and prevent complications from hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism."

While yoga cannot permanently cure thyroid disease, experts agree it can relieve symptoms naturally and should be considered a complementary therapy along with medical treatment. As always, consult your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise program.
