Good morning everyone today I am going to discuss about thyroid disease specially here I will write about the thyroid, it’s types and how Pranayam works on it.
First of all I want to tell you that what is thyroid? Thyroid is a gland which secrete Thyroxine hormone and the working of this hormone controlled by iodine mineral so if there is lack of iodine then the working of thyroid gland is disturbed..
Problems with thyroid can be caused by iodine deficiency, autoimmune diseases in which the immune system attacks the thyroid, leading either to hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism refer to an overactive thyroid and hypothyroidism refers to an underactive thyroid.

Constipation, fatigue, cold sensitivity, weight gain dry skin, forget fullness etc.
Ujjayi pranayama or Ocean breath –
Ujjayi technique for beginners
Sit in a comfortable yoga pose like padmasan sukhasana.Take long, deep breath with both nostrils along with contraction inside the throat which makes the breath long and thin. The friction of air should be felt inside the throat when it is contracted and a a hissing sound of breath is produced itself. now exhale out very slowly. repeat this process three times daily.
After some days of practice
Three more steps are added to complete ujjayi Pranayam process. after breathing inside with contraction in throat, try to touch your chin to the upper side of chest. hold the breath inside for maximum 10 seconds.
Now exhale out slowly with left nostril, by closing right nostril with your Right Hand Thumb. Exhale must be done by left nostril only. this is complete process of Ujjayi.
