Hello prettyangel,

There are many different types of goiter that can be considered and to offer you the best possible advice, you could hopefully supply more information about your health history.

What have your most recent thyroid lab studies looked like?

Any symptoms?

Has anyone done a thyroid ultrasound and/or uptake scan, etc...?

In other words, where are you in your evaluation?

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that forms an important part of our immune defense function, as well as a component in heart muscle. Found naturally in animal protein and vegetables, it is also found in fish, vegetables, and especially Brazil nuts. Its anti-oxidant functions have now been shown to reduce the risk of many cancers as well as thyroid disease, infertility and arthritis. There is even a suggestion that selenium alters genes that cause cancer.

Hello
Natural Remedies for Goitre.

Local application of a paste of mustard is advisable.
Pound a few cloves of garlic and make into a paste. Tie this paste in a cloth and use as poultice over the swollen neck.
Pound the leaves or dried roots of ashwagandha to make a paste. Apply over the neck.
