Ayurvedic Treatment for Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism: Symptoms, Diet, Remedies and Therapies

Ayurvedic Treatment for Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism: Thyroid disorders are a growing global health concern, affecting millions of people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 42 million people in India suffer from thyroid-related conditions, with hypothyroidism being the most prevalent. The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and hormonal balance.

While modern medicine focuses on lifelong medication, Ayurveda offers a natural, holistic approach that targets the root cause rather than just managing symptoms. At Adyant Ayurveda, we provide personalized Ayurvedic treatment for both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, using detox therapies, herbal remedies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle interventions to restore thyroid health naturally.

Understanding Thyroid Disorders in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, thyroid disorders are caused by imbalances in the body’s doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and weak Agni (digestive fire). These imbalances lead to metabolic dysfunction, resulting in either underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid conditions.

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) – Kapha Imbalance

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces insufficient hormones, slowing down metabolism. Ayurveda associates it with Kapha dosha dominance, leading to:

1. Weight gain & sluggish metabolism
2. Fatigue & weakness
3. Cold sensitivity & dry skin
4. Hair thinning & brittle nails
5. Depression & mood swings
6. Constipation & slow digestion

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid) – Pitta-Vata Imbalance

Hyperthyroidism results from excessive thyroid hormone production, accelerating metabolism. Ayurveda links this to Pitta-Vata imbalance, causing:

1. Unintentional weight loss
2. Increased heart rate & palpitations
3. Heat intolerance & excessive sweating
4. Anxiety, irritability & nervousness
5. Frequent bowel movements
6. Weak muscles & tremors

Did You Know? If left untreated, thyroid disorders can lead to infertility, heart disease, and metabolic disorders. Early Ayurvedic intervention can prevent complications and restore balance.
