Abstract
Thyroid problems are the most common endocrine disorders seen worldwide. Thyroid gland secretes two hormones, Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3). TSH plays a major role in controlling the thyroid axis and serves as the most useful physiological marker of Thyroid gland function. Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy food habits may be considered as a primary reason behind increasing Endocrinological disorders including that of Thyroid gland. Increasing levels of stress and anxiety is also contributing to thyroid disorders as the gland is highly sensitive to stimuli. Many of the Kaphaja Nanatmaja Vikaras are seen as the clinical features of Hypothyroidism viz. Gurugatrata (feeling of heaviness), Alashya (lethargy), Tandra (drowsiness), Atisthoulya (obesity/weight gain), Atinidra (excessive sleep) etc. Hypothyroidism is a clinico-pathological condition affecting multiple systems and require multimodal treatment. The treatment protocol was adopted to counteract the pathophysiology by Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa. Patient was cured completely with no reoccurrence of symptoms even after 6 months. During subsequent treatments and routine follow-ups, laboratory investigations were done. A case of hypothyroidism was successfully treated with multimodal Ayurvedic medicine, resulting in a rapid and significant recovery.
