Dr. Seema H. Thakare, Dr. Rajni K. Gurmule

Abstract :

Hypothyroidism is a growing health issue worldwide. It results from lack of thyroid hormones secreted by thyroid gland which regulates basic metabolic rate in our body. There is no exact term of thyroid disorders in Ayurveda but Ayurvedic system of medicine is very futuristic & doesn’t emphasize on naming disease. It rather insists of understanding the constitutional status of disease & adopting an appropriate treatment principle. Majority of body metabolic activities are controlled by thyroid hormone, In Ayurveda it can be correlated with functions of Agni. According to Ayurveda, pathogenesis of hypothyroidism is considered due to hypofunctioning of agni & imbalanced state of doshas. To understand & appreciate the pathogenesis of anukta vyadhi hypothyroidism, it is essential to consider basic concepts of ayurveda like dosha, dhatu, agni, srotas. Understanding of hypothyroidism from Ayurvedic perspective helps to give safe and alternative ayurvedic management
