HELLO
Your mother’s body is currently in a state of “over-activity.” A condition in which one’s thyroid gland-a gland that controls metabolism-is overactive, thus producing more thyroid hormones than the body needs.
For this reason: She may lose weight even if she eats normally. She can get anxious, sweaty, tired, or have a rapid heartbeat. Sometimes, sleep turns poor and she may feel hot and restless. Now she also suffers from diabetes and hypertension, meaning: The sugar metabolism is disturbed. Circulation and workload of the heart are enhanced. Her system needs to be calmed and stabilized rather than stimulated.
Ayurvedic Perspective In Ayurveda, this combination means: Agni, or digestive/metabolic fire, is too high (Tikshna Agni) - seen in hyperthyroidism. Excess of Vata (movement, nervous activity) and Pitta (heat, metabolism). Kapha (stability) is reduced.
An imbalance is a state of disequilibrium and can bring about: Pitta-Vata aggravation → anxiety, heat, weight loss, restlessness. Kapha deficiency → loss of nourishment, muscle wasting. Vata derangement → high BP, nervousness, sleeplessness. Medo dhatu and Rakta dhatu imbalances → aggravation of diabetes and hypertension.
Treatment Goals - Chikitsa Siddhanta It cools and pacifies Pitta and Vata without upsetting Kapha. To normalize thyroid activity and regulate metabolism. To support heart and pancreas and reduce blood sugar and pressure naturally. To nourish the body-Rasayana and prevent weight loss or fatigue. For mental calmness and improving sleep.

Hyperthyroidism, along with diabetes and high BP, certainly requires an integrative approach. Ayurveda helps in correcting the basic imbalances, thus reducing the need for heavy medication over a period of time-under supervision, of course-and improving the overall quality of life. Patience is required: Ayurveda cures slowly, but deeply. Follow a regular diet and lifestyle, including follow-ups. Avoid abrupt self-stopping of allopathic medicines. It is expected that with continuous care in 3–6 months, she will have improved her energy, weight, sleep, and calmness considerably.

When managing an overactive thyroid along with diabetes and high blood pressure, a focused Ayurvedic approach could be beneficial, but it’s important to underline the necessity of coordinating with her healthcare provider to ensure safety. This is a complex situation, so integrated care is crucial.
Firstly, consider the dietary aspect. Since thyroid issues may disturb the vata dosha, balancing this can be beneficial. Regular meals, avoiding fasting or skipping meals, can help maintain energy levels and regularity in dosha balance. Meals should be warm, cooked, and easy to digest. Incorporating foods like oats, quinoa, and buckwheat might help stabilize energy without fluctuating blood sugar excessively. Avoid raw, cold, or overly spicy foods which can stimulate vata and pitta dosha further.
Herbs like Ashwagandha possess adaptogenic properties that could help in managing thyroid hormone levels. Use caution considering her diabetic condition; Ashwagandha can affect blood sugar, so professional guidance is necessary. Similarly, Brahmi can be particularly helpful for calming mental stress possibly associated with thyroid imbalance.
In terms of lifestyle, encouraging regular, gentle exercise like walking is beneficial for controlling glucose levels and managing hypertension. However, strenuous activity is better avoided to prevent further aggravation of vata.
Focus on proper sleep is essential—restful sleep supporting her nervous and cardiovascular systems. Practicing pranayama, deep-breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana, can aid relaxation and also help manage stress levels, which is important for both thyroid and overall metabolic health.
While these suggestions may help manage symptoms, she should not neglect the advice of her medical healthcare team. Integrating these practices with conventional treatments under supervision ensures comprehensive care. Also, regular monitoring of her levels - thyroid, glucose, and blood pressure - will help in timely adjustments to her treatment plan.
An overactive thyroid, especially combined with diabetes and high blood pressure, demands careful management. All of these conditions can impact each other, so it’s crucial to approach this holistically. In Siddha-Ayurveda, such imbalances relate to excess pitta and vata. Aligning these doshas can be key in managing symptoms. Here’s what I suggest:
Diet is a focal point. Encourage a predominantly cooling, pitta-pacifying diet. Avoid stimulants like caffeine and spicy foods which can aggravate the thyroid and blood pressure. Lean towards fresh fruits and vegetables—preferably cooked—and whole grains. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage can help, but moderation is key if raw.
For diabetes management, maintain a steady intake of complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fibrous foods. Bitter gourd juice is traditionally recommended; it can be consumed fresh each morning, but check blood sugar levels regularly as its effects can be potent.
Bring practices like Pranayama and meditation into her routine. These can help stabilize the nervous system and reduce stress, which significantly impacts thyroid and blood pressure levels. Engage in gentle exercise like yoga, which accommodates her energy levels and maintains circulation.
Herbal formulations can support these efforts. Ashwagandha may help balance thyroid activity; however, its suitability should be reviewed with her full condition in mind—it may not be ideal if she has elevated Pitta levels. Triphala can aid in digestive health, supporting overall metabolism and reducing inflammation.
Ensure she’s hydrated; water helps maintain hydration and supports metabolic waste removal. Address sleep quality, as restful sleep can regulate hormones, including those impacted by the thyroid.
Consider coordinating with her primary healthcare provider while integrating these approaches. Monitoring her blood pressure and sugar levels regularly can guide any adjustments needed and prevent complications. Urgent symptoms, like palpitations or extreme fatigue, should be promptly addressed by a healthcare professional to prevent crises.
