Thyroid gland enlargement, or goiter, can result from several different conditions. Iodine shortage is a common reason; in this case, the thyroid gland tries to compensate for the lack of iodine by expanding, resulting in an endemic goiter.
Several factors can also cause sporadic goiter. A goiter can arise due to hormonal imbalances, such as an overactive or malfunctioning thyroid. Thyroiditis, or inflammation of the thyroid gland, may be a factor in the enlargement of the gland.

However, these are home remedies that can be used to treat goiter;
Coconut Water
High concentrations of lauric acid, a medium-chain triglyceride that enhances metabolism and has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities, are found in virgin coconut oil. Lauric acid is then transformed into monolaurin. In addition to using it in cooking, you can use it for smoothies, hot beverages, and salad dressings.
Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay can absorb toxins, which is a valuable treatment for goiter. It helps to lessen swelling and absorbs the poisons from the goiter. Add water to the bentonite clay to produce a smooth paste. Apply the paste evenly to the swollen area and let it dry. Next, could you give it a water rinse?
Watercress
Watercress contains iodine, an essential vitamin and mineral which aids in the healing of edema. Reduced goiter size is a benefit of the herb’s antioxidant content. Using two tablespoons of dried watercress in a glass of water and sipping is one technique to utilize watercress.
An alternative method involves pulverizing fresh watercress and combining it with water to form a paste. Two or three times a week, apply the paste to the neck.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a multipurpose superfood with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. Turmeric can assist in lowering inflammation and support the body’s cells in the event of a thyroid hormone imbalance when used as a goiter therapy. Each day, take one spoonful of the paste. To make the turmeric paste, add turmeric, olive oil, and black pepper with warm water.
Castor Oil
Extracted from the ricinus communis plant, castor oil is a potent laxative and a naturally occurring moisturizer. Castor oil is used as a stimulant, which helps to stimulate the activity of the muscles in the body that assist in pushing material out of the bowels.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a miracle element in every other home treatment and is well known for its many health advantages. Apple cider vinegar, high in antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antioxidant qualities, can treat various illnesses.
Lemon Balm Tea
Research has demonstrated the benefits of lemon balm tea for treating goiter. Goiter symptoms are treated by lowering thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and decreasing pituitary gland activity.
Two tablespoons of the dried herb should be added to a glass of boiling water and allowed to steep. Strain it after a few minutes and stir in one tsp of honey. You can drink 2 to 3 cups daily until the symptoms are gone.
