Be aware of the throat region and the thyroid gland while doing this. Feel good blood circulation and lymphatic circulation while stretching the throat region. The more you stretch the better the blood and lymph circulation to the throat region.

Sun-Therapy: Not being exposed to sun light is one reason for increasing thyroid problem especially in women who are very cosmetic conscious. Fearing getting dark complexion leads women to be exposed less to sunlight which leads to Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is not just for bones as initially thought.

We recommend to expose yourself for 15 to 30 minutes in the sun light in the morning (less UV rays in the morning sunlight). You can do walking or Sun Meditation also.
