The thyroid affects weight, skin, hair, and nail health. Whether you want to gain or lose weight, mudras helping the thyroid will balance it in the right direction.
Just make sure you continue to do the mudra even as you progress. Our bodies work very hard to do what they think we want, and when we make a change in one direction, they can think that something has gone wrong and work doubly hard to get things back to the way they were. So, keep doing the mudra over the course of weeks.
