The following will help to get TSH to normal level along with thyronorm: 1. Tab. Munithyrone 2—0—2 after food 2. Hamsapadi kashayam 20ml----0----20 ml one hour before breakfast and before dinner by adding 80 ml of boiled cooled water for 90 days. Take care. Warm regards.

HELLO AYUSHI,

WHATS HAPPENING IN YOUR BODY? with Hypothyroidism, your thyroid isn’t producing enough T3 and T4 hormones, your brain increases TSH(thyroid-stimulating hormone) to try and push the thyroid to work harder. -High TSH(>60)= very low thyroid hormone levels. -Low T3= your body isn’t getting the energy- regulating hormones it needs.

WHY YOU MUST NOT SKIP THYRONORM Thyronorm(levothyroxine) is life long replacement therapy , not just a temporary fix. -missing even a few doses consistently can cause TSH to rise significantly -high TSH leads to fatigue, weight gain , brain fog, weakness, low hb, and other symptoms you’re experiencing.

TIP= set daily reminder. Take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, 30-60 minutes before breakfast for best absorption.

SUPPORTIVE THYROID MEDICATIONS(safe to take all with thyronorm)

1) KANCHANAR GUGGULU + YOGARAJ GUGGULU =2+ 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water(Kanchana 2, yograj 1) = balances kapha and support glandular detoxification and metabolism

2) Ashwagandhadhi lehyam= 1 tsp twice daily with warm water in morning and night =adaptogenic, improves thyroid axis, reduces fatigue, supports mental clarity.

3) DHATRI LAUHA- 1 tab, NAVAYAS LAUHA- 1 tab = twice daily before meals both with honey = classical iron based formulation that boost HB, improves digestion and reduce tiredness

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water at bed time and TRIKATU CHURNA= 2gm with lukewarm water before meals twice daily = promotes gut health, liver detox, and clears metabolic waste, which often builds up in hypothyroidism

5) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night with milk = calms nervous system, reduces anxiety and brain fog- both are common in hypothyroidism

DIET AND LIFESTYLE

NUTRITION IODINE= add iodised salt if not already using.

SELENIUM-RICH FOODS= Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, eggs

IRON AND B12= add spinach, jaggery, and lentils

AVOID= Raw cruciferous veggies= cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower= they will increase thyroid - soy and soy products= disrupts thyroid hormone absorption -refined sugar and processed foods= suppresses metabolism -wheat in excess= heavy to digest - cold food and drinks= suppress thyroid - fermented food(curd, pickles)= increase kapha and toxins - heavy legumes like rajma, chana, chole at night= hard to digest

HAVE -warm water sip throughout the day - herbal teas= ginger tea, tulsi tea, cumin-coriander-fennel tea - avoid caffeine excess= especially coffee

MAKE Black sesame seeds+ jaggery balls= 1 small ball daily

LIFESTYLE -sleep by 10 pm

YOGA DAILY FOR 30-45 MINUTES

-sukhasana + deep belly breathing -nadi sodhana= 7 rounds - ujjayi pranayam= 5 rounds

-sarvangasana -matsyasana -halasana -bhujangasana -setu bandhasana -suryanamskar = 5 rounds daily -utakatasana vrikshasana

avoid fast or exhausting asana= slow mindful practice is more effective for thyroid disorders -keep breathing smooth and nasal throughout -always ends with 5 minutes of savasana(corpse pose ) for full reset.

-TSH test every 6-8 weeks

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Hello Ayushi , I can understand your concern regarding high TSH Which is really too high . A TSH level above 60 clearly indicates severe hypothyroidism, meaning your thyroid gland is significantly underactive. The low T3 further confirms that your body is not making enough active thyroid hormone. But dont worry we are here to help you out!!😊

Skipping your Thyronorm (levothyroxine) regularly, even for a few weeks or months, can cause TSH to shoot up drastically, because your body struggles to compensate.

✅WHAT TO DO???

☑️1. Resume Thyronorm Regularly

Do not skip a single dose. Thyronorm must be taken daily, on an empty stomach with water — at least 30 minutes before breakfast. Avoid tea, coffee, calcium, or iron supplements for 1 hour after taking it.

I advice you to set a reminder or take it with your morning routine

☑️2. Additional Ayurvedic medication yo support thryoid health 1 kanchanar guggulu 1-0-1 before breakfast and dinner 2 Hamsapadadi kashyam 15ml-0- 15 ml +45 ml water after breakfast and dinner

☑️ 3. Retest in 6–8 Weeks

Once you’re regular repeat: ✔️TSH ✔️Free T3 ✔️Free T4

While Thyronorm is essential, Ayurveda can: ☑️Help reduce symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, sluggishness) ☑️Support metabolism and hormonal balance ☑️Minimize side effects and improve digestion

Diet & Lifestyle Tips

✅ Include: Warm, light, cooked food (khichdi, moong, barley) Amla, soaked almonds, ghee, flax seeds Regular walking, yoga, or Surya Namaskar (if possible)

❌ Avoid:

Cold, raw, or stale foods Curd at night, fried snacks, white sugar Broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower

Please understand: So high Tsh is not good for health Thyroid hormone takes weeks to correct, but you will start feeling better once your levels improve. Consistency with medicine, proper diet, and Ayurvedic support will bring long-term balance.

Wishing you good health and recovery 🌿 Warm regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

A high TSH level with reduced T3 indicates an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism. Regularly taking your thyronorm is vital since skipping doses can cause fluctuations in hormone levels. Always try to take it first thing in the morning on empty stomach for best absorption, but if yo forget, take it as soon as you remember. Sticking to the medicine is the first step.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, supporting the thyroid through diet and lifestyle can help. Focus on a diet that balances your primary dosha. Generally, hypothyroidism is seen as a kapha imbalance. Include warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper are warming spices that can stimulate agni (digestive fire). A cup of ginger tea in the morning can be beneficial.

Ensure adequate iodine and selenium intake, which are crucial for thyroid function. Foods like seaweed, fish, brazil nuts, and sunflower seeds are good sources. Don’t go overboard on iodine-rich foods, though; balance is key.

Stress management is also crucial as stress can impact thyroid function. Incorporate daily practices like yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises), or meditation to calm the mind and balance the doshas. Simple yoga poses like Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand) can be beneficial for thyroid health, but only if you’re comfortable doing this pose.

Avoid cold, heavy, oily, and excessively sweet foods, as they can increase kapha and might aggravate hypothyroid symptoms. Regular exercise, suited to your body, is recommended to maintain hormonal balance and weight management.

Always prioritize seeking advice from your healthcare provider if you’re considering adjusting doses or making significant lifestyle changes. They can guide based on your specific health needs, and ensure safe integration of these practices with your ongoing medical treatment.

HELLO AYUSHI,

-TSH>60 mIU/L is severely elevated, indicating severe hypothyroidism. -Low t3/t4 confirms ulcerative thyroid hormone production -skipping THYRONORM even for a few days regularly disrupt hormone balance for weeks or months

HOW TO NORMALIZE TSH AND T3

-STRICTLY TAKE THYRONORM DAILY= empty stomach, 30-60 min before breakfast , same time daily

-DO NOT MISS DOSES= missing doses even once a week can destabilise thyroid function

-REGULAR FOLLOW UP= test TSH/T3/T4 every 2-3 months until stable

-AVOID INTERACTING SUBSTANCES= no calcium/iron supplements within 4 hours of taking thyronorm

AYURVEDIC TREATMENT(supportive)

MORNING -THYROGRIT TAB- 1 tab after breakfast

AFTERNOON -STRESSCOM - 1 cap after lunch with milk

AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER -PUNARNAVA MANDUR- 1 tab with warm water

NIGHT -MENTAT TAB= 1 tab with warm milk

AYURVEDIC LIFESTYLE TO FOLLOW

WAKE EARLY-before 7 am= regulates Ricardian rhythm , supports thyroid-adrenal axis

OIL MASSAGE- daily with warm sesame oil-improves metabolism and vata balance

GENTLE YOGA AND PRANAYAM= improves endocrine function. focus on asana like sarvangasana, matsyasana, and breathing exercise

AVOID COLD/RAW FOODS= favour warm, cooked, spiced meals- ginger, cumin, cinnamon

REDUCE STRESS= chronic stress affects thyroid hormone conversion(t4->t3). practice meditation daily

AVOID -skipping medications -raw cruciferous vegetables like cabbage , cauliflower, broccoli etc in large amount - overuse of soy products

THANK YOU
