Hello, Kanchanara guggulu is a good choice, pair it with Hamsapadadi kashayam 15 ml twice daily before food mixed with 60 ml luke warm water Chandraprabha vati 1 tab twice daily after food Vaiswanara choorna 3 gm twice daily after food mixed with hot water You can also apply nimbamrutheranda taila on neck region regularly. Along with milk products also avoid excessive sugar and any processed foods. Avoid eating vegetables raw.

–Your thyroid nodule is benign and your thyroid function is normal, which is reassuring. At this size (2 × 3 cm), we usually just monitor it with an ultrasound every 6–12 months. –Treatment 1)Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets Twice daily after food with lukewarm water 2)Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water Twice daily before food 3)Punarnava Mandur – 1 tablet Twice daily after food – Pathya (Diet Advice) Avoid very oily, fried, heavy foods Reduce excess dairy Use warm, light diet Prefer barley, green gram, cooked vegetables – Lifestyle Advice Daily mild exercise / brisk walking 30 min Avoid day sleep Practice Pranayama (Anulom Vilom) — Follow-up Review after 6 weeks Repeat thyroid profile & ultrasound as advised after 6 weeks

Hello dear, By looking at your symptoms and as its benign, I would suggest some medicines: <link removed>ntinue kaanchar guggul 2-0-2 after meals 2. Kombadnakhi tablet 2-0-2 after meals twice a day with water. 3. Punarnavaadi kadha 15ml-15ml-15ml thrice a day with same amount of water after meals. Please get a scan done in 15-25 days to see if size has decreased or increased, then we can take decision on - doing surgery or wait for more time to get reduced by taking medicines. Leaving milk and wheat is the best decision. Avoid fried , and sugary products. I hope you get well. Please get a personal consultation for personalised treatment.

HELLO, For a benign comlex cystic thyroid nodule (23cm) with normal thyroid function, the goal in Ayurveda is -reduce kapha + meda accumulation -improve lymphatic drainage -support agni (metabolism) -prevent further cystic fluid accumulation You are already taking Kanchanar guggulu which is correct. ADD THIS PROTOCOL 1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water 2) VARUNADI KASHAYA= 15ml + 45 ml warm water twice daily before meals =helps in reducing cystic and glandular swellings 3) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals =improves fluid metabolism and reduces cystic component 4) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =redues nodule LOCAL APPLICATION VERYY IMPORTANT 1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU PASTE (external) -crush tablet + warm water-> apply thin layer over thyroid region -leave 20-30 min daily -wash off with lukewarm water OR 2) CASTOR OIL + TURMERIC (MILD MASSAGE) Apply lightly at night no deep pressure DIET- More important than milk restriction You stopped milk good Now focus on -warm water throughout the day -turmeric + black pepper -barley -old rice -moong dal -lauki, tinda, ridge gourd -small amount of black cumin -1 tsp flaxseed daily AVOID -curd very important -panner -soy products -excess raw cabbage, cauliflower goitrogens In excess -sugar -bakery -deep fried food -cold water YOGA very effective for thyroid Daily 15 min -sarvangasana -matsyasana -ujjayi pranayam -bhramari Improves glandular circulation LIFESTYLE -sleep before 10:30 pm -avoid daytime sleep -avoid stress thyroid nodules grow with chronic stress -keep bowel clear triphala 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime Since your nodule is -23 cm -complex cystic If it does not reduce in 6-8 months, Aspiration (fluid removal) is the most effective modern option and is minimally invasive Ayurveda can help reduce size slowly, , but cystic nodule shrink slower than solid onces With strict regimen -10-30 % size reduction in 3-6 months possible -Complete disappearance is uncommon for cystic nodules DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU
