Thyroid (TREATMENT FOR WOMEN)

Thyroid imbalance—whether hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)—affects many women, causing weight changes, fatigue, hair loss, mood swings, irregular periods, and fertility issues. In Ayurveda, thyroid disorders are related to Agni (metabolic fire) disturbance, Vata-Kapha imbalance, and Ama (toxin) accumulation disrupting hormonal function.
Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause—not just symptoms—by balancing doshas, rejuvenating the thyroid gland, and restoring metabolism.

Ayurvedic Approach to Thyroid Disorders
1. Panchakarma Detox (Shodhana Therapy)
• Virechana – Clears toxins and excess Pitta that may be affecting hormonal flow
• Basti – Strengthens metabolism and supports nervous and endocrine systems
• Nasya – Beneficial for stress-induced thyroid issues and hormonal reset

Effective Ayurvedic Herbs & Formulations
• Kanchanar Guggulu – Detoxifies lymphatic system and balances thyroid function
• Ashwagandha – Adaptogen; supports thyroid hormone production (especially T3, T4)
• Brahmi – Improves mental clarity and reduces anxiety linked to thyroid imbalance
• Shankhpushpi – Balances mood and supports nervous system
• Triphala – Boosts digestion and metabolism
