HELLO,
Your thyroid is a small gland in the neck that controls your body’s metabolism, meaning -how fast you burn calories -your energy levels -your weight -your mood -your temperature -your hair, skin, digestive strength
When thyroid hormones becomes slightly abnormal, even if not severe, your body starts giving signals such as -fatigue -weight gain or difficulty losing weight -feeling cold -constipation -hairfall -mood swings or anxiety -irregular periods -dry skin
AYURVEDIC VIEW
1) KAPHA IMBALANCE -sluggish digestion, slow metabolism, fluid retention
2) VATA IMBALANCE -anxiety, dryness, irregular hormones, nervous system, over activation
3) WEAK METABOLIC FIRE -causes slow hormone conversion and toxin buildup
4) BLOCKAGE IN CHANNELS -especially lymphatic, glandular, and metabolic channels
TREATMENT GOALS -improve thyroid hormone regulation naturally -reduce ama (toxins) and unblock glandular channels -strengthen agni (digestive and metabolic fire) -balance vata and kapha doshas -support lymphatic and endocrine system -reduce long term dependency on increasing doses of medications

Kachnar Guggulu is indeed a popular Ayurvedic formulation often used for supporting thyroid health, particularly in cases of hypothyroidism. It helps in managing glandular growths and regulates the function of the thyroid gland. For dosage, typically, it is recommended to take 1-2 tablets twice a day, after meals, with lukewarm water. However, it is always advisable to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic physician, because individual dosages can vary based on one’s constitution or health condition.
Ashwagandha, another powerful herb, is beneficial for thyroid health. It’s known for its adaptogenic properties that help balance thyroid hormones. You might consider taking 500 mg of Ashwagandha powder or capsules, twice daily after meals. Again, personalization in dosage is key, so professional guidance is important.
Shigru (Moringa) is another herb that can help support thyroid function. Its leaves can be consumed in powder form, around 1 teaspoon daily. Shigru has nutrients that nourish the thyroid gland and support metabolism.
Your diet plays a pivotal role too. Eating selenium-rich foods like sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, or omega-rich foods like flaxseeds can help in thyroid hormone production. Avoiding goitrogenic foods like cabbage or soy in excess can also prevent interference with thyroid function.
Incorporating lifestyle changes are equally crucial. Regular practice of Yoga, especially poses like Sarvangasana, can improve blood circulation and stimulate thyroid glands. Try to ensure 7-8 hours of sleep, as stress and lack of rest can skew hormone balance.
Pay attention to your body. Not every herb or remedy works the same for everyone. Also, if you have any symptoms like rapid weight gain or weakness, speak to a healthcare professional promptly. It’s important to combine Ayurvedic treatments with regular medical advice.
For thyroid health, particularly with conditions like hypothyroidism, balancing your doshas is a key focus in Ayurveda. Kanchanar Guggulu is a well-regarded formulation that helps in managing thyroid disorders by balancing kapha and improving metabolism. It’s known for improving the function of thyroid hormones by supporting the lymphatic system and helping with tissue rejuvenation.
For dosage, a typical guideline could be one to two tablets, twice daily, after meals, with warm water. However, dosage can vary based on individual constitution and the specific nature of the thyroid condition, so it’s crucial to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any regimen.
Alongside Kanchanar Guggulu, incorporating Ashwagandha can be beneficial for its adaptogenic properties, enhancing the body’s resilience to stress and supporting the endocrine functions. It generally helps in balancing vata and pitta doshas. You can take Ashwagandha in powdered form, about 1 teaspoon mixed with warm milk, once daily.
Diet also plays a vital role. Include foods rich in selenium and zinc—pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and brazil nuts—as they support thyroid function. Seaweed is another good source but introduce it cautiously due to its high iodine levels.
Other Ayurvedic practices include regular yoga and pranayama, which can enhance thyroid health by improving circulation and energy flow through the body. A practice like Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) is particularly noted for its positive influence on thyroid glands.
Remember, thyroid disorders can have serious implications, so it’s essential to monitor your condition regularly and stay in touch with healthcare providers for a balanced approach to treatment. Always prioritize adjustments in medication under professional guidance if you’re already on thyroid medication.
