Brief Answer:
the non-medicinal way is not at all recommended in your case...

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your symptoms are indicating of Thyroid gland insufficiency and it's extremely important that you consult an Endocrinologist at the earliest, recheck the complete Thyroid function test along with Anti-TPO antibody to decide on the further course of treatment.

You'll most certainly require Thyroxin supplementation in form of medications and routine follow-ups thereafter every 3 to 6months.

There's no best remedy in a non-medicinal way. Yes, medication is generally to be taken for a lifetime with variable dosage from time to time depending on your body's response and to prevent any future complications.

Please go ahead get yourself checked-up, start the medication and stay under routine follow-ups of your doctor.

Take Care
Kind Regards
