I've been on thyroid medication for about 10-12 years now, taking 50mg. I'm considering switching to ayurvedic treatment instead. Is that a safe switch to make? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

I'm dealing with gynecomastia and a small penis size since I was a kid. Its really tough because I can't wear t-shirts or go shirtless at the beach or pool without feeling super embarrassed, and its really knocked my confidence down.
