Hello, Yes the herbal supplements can be used if one wants to while on treatment for hypothyroidism. As regards the "best diet" a healthy balanced diet is good. One should avoid soy beans, soy containing products, cabbage, cauliflower, radish, mustard & coffee. Always use whole grain flour for making chapati & roti. Consume more of green leafy vegetables and salads. Thanks.
