A Case Study: Management of Hypothyroidism through Ayurveda Medication

Abstract

One of the most common endocrine disorders seen in daily practise is hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is caused by a lack of thyroid hormone or resistance of body tissue to thyroid hormone in relation to metabolic demand. Although diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism are frequently thought to be simple, a large number of people with this condition receive suboptimal care. Thyroid disorders are common in India, with hypothyroidism being a condition that is currently not adequately controlled. Because of the disease's broad scope and high prevalence in society, the current issue was chosen for study and management using Ayurveda principles. 60 years old male patient on 10/03/2023 came to OPD of Shalakya Tantra, Parul Ayurved Hospital, Parul University, Vadodara with general body weakness, breathlessness, voice fatigue, dryness, difficulty in swallowing big tablet since a year.

In an interval of 30 days, complete Ayurveda treatment was given, patient was symptomless and TSH level reduced from 15.96 micro IU/ml to 7.77 micro IU/ml.
