Can Ayurveda help me recover from hypothyroidism after years of treatment and trauma? - #55238

I've been hypothyroid since age 21, diagnosed after a period of extreme stress. I have been on medication since then. I switched from a synthetic thyroid hormone to the glandular form less than a year ago. I seem to have less anxiety and am sleeping better, although insomnia is still happening enough that I don't feel Ihave fully recovered. My situation in life is not exactly stable, and I'm dependent on my daughter for help with my finances. She is alcoholic. I am working 20 hours a week. When we have a disagreement, which happens just about every time we get together, sleep becomes a problem again. I have an extensive trauma history, beginning in childhood. I'm wondering if there is a possibility that I could recover from thyroid illness. I have begun to take Cordyceps 3 grams a day.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, hypothyroid-like conditions are often associated with Kapha imbalance (slowed metabolism, heaviness, low energy) along with Vata aggravation (anxiety, insomnia), especially when there is long-standing stress and trauma affecting the nervous system. Chronic emotional stress can disturb Agni (digestive/metabolic fire) and deplete Ojas (vital resilience), which may worsen fatigue, sleep disturbance, and hormonal imbalance symptoms. While thyroid function may require ongoing support, Ayurveda focuses on restoring balance ---- firstly tell me your current thyroid profile —Rx 1) Aimil Thyrofit – 1 tab BD after food 2) himalya Mentat – 1 tab BD after food 3) Aimil Brahmi Vati Gold – 1 tab bed time after food 4) Chyawanprash – 1 tsp OD in morning 5) kanchnar gugulu twice daily after meal 2 tab 6) kukutandtwak bhasam 125 mg twice daily after meal ----Pathya / Regimen Dhaniya (coriander) water – 1 glass early morning Sheetkari Pranayam – 5–10 minutes daily (morning/evening) Warm, light diet; regular meal timing Early sleep routine; avoid stress/arguments at night Sesame oil Abhyanga + gentle walk daily ---- for 2 months then repeat thyroid profile
