7 Best yoga for thyroid
The tradition of yoga in India is going on since ancient times. Our sage Muni used to do penance for thousands of years on yoga and attained various achievements. Along with physical health, doing regular yoga also gives mental peace. Due to the irregular eating habits and lifestyle of today, various types of diseases are taking birth. One of those diseases is the problem of thyroid, which has become a common disease these days. Although the thyroid is not a disease, it is a gland that works to control the metabolism of the body. The thyroid gland produces two types of hormones (triiodothyronine and thyroxine). When these two hormones produced by the thyroid gland become unbalanced, the bodyweight starts decreasing or increasing which is called thyroid problem. There are some yogas whose regular and proper practice can get rid of thyroid problems.
1. Sarvangasana
Sarvangasana stretches the neck and other parts of the human body. With the regular and correct practice of Sarvangasana, the blood circulation becomes regular due to the stretch in the neck and due to stimulation in the thyroid gland, the thyroid hormones are balanced, which gets rid of the problem of the thyroid. If the problem of the thyroid has become serious, then along with this asana, treatment should also be done by contacting the doctor. A person suffering from high blood pressure, hernia, and back pain should not do Sarvangasana.

Keeping the elbows of both the hands on the ground, supporting the back with the claws of both the hands, lift both the legs, hips, and waist slowly upwards and straighten them.
