What is hypothyroidism ?
We say in Ayurveda that food is medicine. I’ll tell you about one such food, specifically, that can be used as medicine for hypothyroidism.
This is a replacement for the medication you’re taking. However, this is one food that you should include in your diet on a daily basis.
Moringa, known as Shigro in Ayurveda, has long drumsticks and fresh leaves; moreover, people value it for its numerous health benefits. It has several benefits, including treating hypothyroidism.
All About Hypothyroidism:
- Washed fresh drumstick leaves (3 bunches around 500 g)
- Ghee/coconut oil – 1 tablespoon
- Mustard seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
- Cumin seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
- Grated coconut – quarter to half cup
- Onion – 1 small
- Garlic – 3 one-inch piece
- Turmeric – 1 teaspoon
- Red chilli powder – 1/2 tablespoon
- Curry leaves – 5
- Whole green chilly split – 2
Here’s what to do:
- Wash and thoroughly squeeze fresh drumstick leaves.
- Finely chop them and place them over a clean cloth to absorb water; otherwise, the dish will become mushy if there is any water in it.
- Make a coarse paste with the grated coconut, garlic, cumin, turmeric, and red chilly powder in a blender.
- Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Splutter mustard seeds, curry leaves, and chopped onions into this, then add the leaves and sauté.
- When the leaves have softened, add the coconut paste you made earlier.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes on low heat, covered with a lid.
Have this as a side dish with rice.
