Maybe your lacking iodine in your nutrition. That is the primary cause of conditions of the thyroid gland.

According to Khalsa, some key points about using herbal medicine re: thyroid disease:
Khalsa believes one must identify what some of the general health triggers are that are allowing for the thyroid condition to take place
the objective for any chronic disease such as thyroid disease is to provide overall support of the immune system and to the targeted organ using herbal medicine
Yoga exercises such as shoulderstands and neck rotation/extensions are all classic help for your thyroid
trying to pick your own herbs and self-treat autoimmune disease is tricky says Khalsa
solving chronic endocrine dysregulation is doable, but there is a need for assessment and treatment by an expert practitioner in herbalism
you should see a practitioner at least once or twice a week
