Thyroid in Ayurveda

Thyroid disorders are a global health concern that affect millions of people. Globally, more than 200 million people suffer from thyroid disorders.

In Ayurveda, thyroid diseases are considered through an understanding of dosha imbalances, which mainly affect the Kapha and Vata doshas. The thyroid gland, which regulates metabolism, is considered a component of the body’s Agni (digestive fire) and insulin system, which is responsible for maintaining homeostasis.

  • Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid): This thyroid disorder is frequently associated with an imbalance in Kapha dosha, which causes fatigue, weight gain, and decreased metabolic activity.
  • Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid): Excess thyroid activity is linked to Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances, resulting in symptoms such as anxiety, weight loss, and irritability. In Ayurveda, thyroid issues are treated systemically in order to balance doshas and promote metabolism.

The major treatments are:

  • Herbal Remedies: Herbal remedies such as ashwagandha, guggul, brahmi, and kanchanar guggulu that promote thyroid function, metabolism, and hormonal balance  . Tulsi and coconut oil support thyroid health generally, while triphala aids in detoxification.
  • Detoxification: Panchakarma treatments for thyroid conditions include Nasya (nasal therapy) to control hormones, Basti (medicated enema) to improve detoxification and digestion, and Virechana (therapeutic purgation) to eliminate toxins and balance metabolism. Thyroid imbalances are largely caused by stress, which can be managed with shirodhara, or oil therapy applied to the forehead.
  • Dietary Changes: Focus on iodine-rich, readily digestible meals while avoiding goitrogenic substances.
  • Yoga and Stress Management: Yoga movements (such as Sarvangasana) and pranayama techniques can help activate the thyroid and alleviate stress.
  • Rasayana Therapy: Rejuvenation treatments designed to boost vitality and improve long-term health. These treatments seek to address underlying issues and improve general health.

Dr. Chirag Raval treats issues with the thyroid by addressing the underlying causes, which include dosha imbalances and toxin accumulation. He uses herbal medicines such as Kanchanar Guggulu and Ashwagandha, Panchakarma detox therapy, and dietary changes based on each patient’s constitution. He also incorporates stress-reduction methods like yoga and pranayama to enhance thyroid function and overall well-being.
