Original review summary

Medical Dialogues reviewed an Instagram post claiming that tea made with cayenne pepper, ginger, and garlic could cure hypothyroidism within days. The review says there is no evidence that these ingredients cure the condition; it notes that a ginger study involved patients already taking thyroid medication and did not establish a cure.[S1]
