Thyroid is completely addressable

Ayurveda addresses thyroid imbalance and normalizes thyroid functioning. This 13 year old child of a housemaid was asked to start thyroid medications. The mother saw the board outside the clinic and stepped in on a hope ...

Months later when she saw me on the road, with tears in her eyes, she professed her gratefulness. She told me how the child, whose puberty was long delayed had also attained puberty post the treatment. She insisted on getting me a cup of tea at the teashop.
