- Abstract
The pathological condition of thyroid hormone insufficiency, known as hypothyroidism, occurs when the thyroid gland does not generate enough thyroxine. It can cause a variety of symptoms, such as the inability to tolerate cold, lethargy, constipation, a slow heartbeat, sadness, and weight gain. Around 4-5% of people globally are hypothyroid. According to Ayurveda, hypothyroidism causes the Pitta Dosha kshaya and the Kapha Dosha and Vata Dosha vruddhi to be evoked. Thyroid hormone, which is connected to Agni's role in Ayurveda, controls the bulk of bodily metabolic processes. According to Ayurveda, the cause of hypothyroidism is assumed to be due to underactive Agni and an unbalanced state of the Doshas Therefore, Ayurvedic treatments for hypothyroidism include Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya Karma, Shirodhara, and Shamana Aushadhi.
