    Hi sir, in ayurveda drinking coriander seeds water ( in the morning empty stomach ) is good for thyroid patients. Sir is it okay to stop taking thyroxine tablets and drinking the coriander seeds water every day in the morning.

    I took it every night and it helps me to sleep better,is there a chance that tyroid nodules shrink naturally without taking prescription medicines,my tyroid function test came normal and immunity test came out normal too,I just followed all the foods to avoid and what is best to eat. I am taking zinc and vit D3 and gluten free foods. And it seems it’s not getting bigger,as if getting smaller now. The last ultrasound it was 3.5cm on the left and 2 tiny nodules on the right 0.5cm. I will have my tyroid scan next month. Thank you for sharing this info .
