Thyroid

Thyroid is the soul of the endocrine system. If your thyroid gets imbalanced, all your body functions get affected & may lead to fertility problem. Low levels of thyroid hormone can interfere with the release of an egg from your ovary (ovulation), which impairs fertility.

Ayurveda & Thyroid

The Ayurvedic approach to the treatment of the thyroid disorder is highly individualized. As per Ayurveda, thyroid function is controlled by the Pitta Dosha. Pitta and Agni (The digestive fire) are responsible for all of the metabolic actions carried out by the thyroid hormones.

In Hypothyroidism the Pitta dosha is covered by Kapha Dosha which creates the effect of diminishing the cellular metabolism. The treatment principle is aimed to remove the coating of Kapha dosha thus enabling Pitta to perform its function normally. Ayurvedic medicine can be a nice addition to standard l-thyroxin supplement, with beneficial diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes.
