Thyroid

The thyroid gland is situated in the front of our neck in the body around our windpipe. It has two broad wings that wrap around the side of your throat and is fashioned like a butterfly with a smaller center. To define in simple words, this disease is a condition in which this organ does not produce the right amount of hormone. Hormones are required in our body in order for it to function effectively. When our body produces excessive thyroid hormone, the condition is known as hyperthyroidism. On the contrary, when it produces less amount of hormone, it is known as hypothyroidism. While the former will reduce your weight and make your heart beat faster, the latter will make you gain weight wherein you will not be able to tolerate cold temperatures. Sevyam offers a range of natural and ayurvedic treatment for thyroid for your body to function more effectively.
