  • Abstract:
  • Background: Hypothyroidism is one of the most prevalent endocrine disorders globally, with a rising incidence in India, particularly among females. Modern management relies on long-term thyroxine therapy, which can cause adverse effects. Ayurveda offers an alternative approach to treating hypothyroidism by addressing its root cause and balancing the body's Doshas. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Ayurvedic medicines and Panchakarma therapy in managing primary hypothyroidism. Methods: A 28-year-old male patient with hypothyroidism symptoms, including puffiness of the face, hyperpigmentation, mood swings, anxiety, and an irregular sleep cycle, was treated using a combination of Ayurvedic herbs (Hansapadi, Kutaki, Pippali, Punarnava, Kanchnar, Lohabhasma, etc.) and Panchakarma therapies such as Deepana, Pachana and Nasya. Dietary and lifestyle modifications were also advised. The patient was monitored for three months, with subjective and objective parameters, including TSH levels, assessed. Results: After one month of treatment, the patient showed significant symptomatic relief. By the third month, there was a marked reduction in TSH levels, indicating improved thyroid function. Conclusion: This study highlights the potential of Ayurvedic treatment in effectively managing primary hypothyroidism without side effects. Further large-scale clinical studies are necessary to validate these findings and establish Ayurveda as a reliable alternative therapy.
