THYROID DISORDERS
Thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), can significantly impact health. Ayurveda provides a holistic approach to managing thyroid disorders by balancing the doshas, using herbal remedies, dietary modifications, lifestyle practices, and detoxification techniques.
Panchakarma (Detoxification)
For both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, Panchakarma therapies may be beneficial to cleanse and rejuvenate the body. These include:
- Virechana: Purgation therapy to eliminate excess Pitta.
- Basti: Enema therapy to balance Vata.
- Nasya: Nasal administration of herbal oils to clear head toxins.
