How can goiter be cured?

[meetjulia]

Goitre, also known, as bronchocele is a term applied to the swelling on the front of the neck caused by the enlargement of the thyroid gland. It is caused by deficiency of iodine in the diet. It is an endemic disease prevalent in the hill districts of the country. The growth of the thyroid gland is generally unattended by pain but if the goiter becomes large it may cause hoarseness. Too enlarged a goiter interferes with breathing and capacity to swallow.

The best way to deal with goiter is to take foods, which contain natural iodine. They are water nut (singhara), lotus reed, stem to the lotus, tuber of the plant cuperus tuberosus and pineapple.

In addition, the sufferer from goiter must follow the general principles of nature cure and take a natural diet.

One should prefer natural home remedies because they are free from side effects. Visit some good educational home remedies sites.

And making sure any salt you do add to your food is the iodised variety will help.
I remember as a child everyone was aware of that lack of iodine caused goitre, and I can nvere remember seeing non-iodised salt in the shops, but as the problem disappeared ignorance grew. With the exhortation by health professionals to 'cut down on salt' people began to lack iodine in the diet and we have seen a rise in the numbers of goitre sufferers.
