You may call it a type of autoimmune illness. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck just below the Adams apple. The hormones produced by thyroid help to regulate the body's metabolism and effects processes, such as growth and other important functions of the body. If the thyroid is underactive it is known as hypothyroidism and when overactive it is known as hyperthyroidism. The yogic practices which help in alleviating this condition are Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskara), Neck Movements (Greeva Sanchalana), Shoulder Stand Pose (Sarvangasana), Plough Pose (Halasana), Fish Pose (Matsyasana), The Psychic Breath (Ujjayi Pranayama), Humming Bee Breath (Bhramari Pranayama), Throat Lock (Jalandhara Bandha), and Nasal Irrigation (Jala Neti).

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. RA can also cause inflammation of the tissue around the joints, and in other organs and tissue in the body. An autoimmune disease is a condition where body's tissues are mistakenly attacked by the body's own immune system. The immune is designed to "seek and destroy" invaders or foreign materials of the body, especially infections. Persons with autoimmune diseases have antibodies in their blood that attack their own body tissue, where they can be associated with inflammation. Because it can affect several organs of the body it is known as a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic illness, meaning it can last for years, patients may experience long periods of time without symptoms. Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive illness that has the potential to cause joint destruction and functional disability.
