The common cause of Goitre is deficiency of iodine in the diet.
Iodine in its organic form is required by the thyroid gland in its secretion.
A diet that lacks organic iodine causes the development of this disease, and may result in physical and emotional turbulence. People affected by Goitre are one's who consume raw, uncooked and denaturized foods.
Some of the common symptoms of Goitre are lack of concentration, depression, irritability, emotional problems and a swelling in the thyroid gland.
Home remedies for the treatment of goiter can be quite effective. Following are helpful home remedies for Goitre.

- An external application of watercress is remedial in treating Goitre. Apply a portion of watercress over the affected area.
