It’s great to hear that your thyroid values have improved significantly with the help of yoga, pranayama, diet, and exercise. In Ayurveda, thyroid imbalances, especially related to antibodies, are often linked to vata and kapha dosha disturbances, so balancing these doshas through personalized treatments can be helpful. Herbs like Ashwagandha, Guduchi, and Kanchanar Guggul are commonly used to support thyroid health, reduce inflammation, and help in antibody reduction. While you’re on the right track with your lifestyle changes, it’s important to continue monitoring your progress with your doctor. Ayurveda can complement your current treatment by helping restore balance and promoting immune system health, but it’s wise to maintain the prescribed medication until the antibodies reduce further.
Hey there, well it’s great to hear that your thyroid levels have improved with that proactive approach you’re taking. I mean, it’s quite something to see results like that! But yeah, those antibodies can be stubborn, trust me. The TRAb levels dropping from 27 to 19 is a positive sign — it’s slow progress but it is progress.
Now, about reducing those antibodies further. In Ayurveda, the focus would be on balancing your doshas, especially Pitta, which is linked with thyroid function. Keeping that digestive fire, agni, kindled is vital too. Maybe you’ve already got some good habits, but here’s a couple more tips:
1. Let’s talk about diet first. Incorporate more cooling and calming foods into your routine. Think along the lines of sweet fruits like pears and ripe bananas, and mild tastes like ghee and rice. Avoid heating foods like red chilies, garlic, and excessive salt — they can aggravate Pitta.
2. Herbs! Ashwagandha is quite revered in Ayurveda for balancing thyroid function. You could try it as a supplement, but check in with your physician first to make sure it jives with your current medicines.
3. Regularity is key, so keep doing those yoga and pranayama practices. Yoga asanas that specifically target thyroid health include Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and Matsyasana (fish pose). They can stimulate the thyroid gland itself.
4. Stress management can’t be overlooked. You might consider Shirodhara therapy if you haven’t already—a calming treatment involving gently pouring oils over the forehead to soothe stress and emotions.
Lastly, don’t be too hard on yourself. While these practices can support you, it might take time, and sometimes a little adaptation too. Keep chatting with your healthcare provider and monitor changes. You’re on a promising path, keep it steady!
