Hello Sursanda, could you share more details on her thyroid function tests, such as TSH, T3, and T4 levels? Also, has she undergone any chest X-ray or other tests to investigate the cause of the chronic cough? In Ayurveda, for overactive thyroid, we focus on balancing the Vata and Pitta doshas and supporting the thyroid with herbs like Ashwagandha and Guggulu. For her cough, expectorants like Tulsi, Pippali, and licorice may help, but the root cause of the cough should be addressed first. In the case of high blood pressure and migraines, managing stress, maintaining a balanced diet, and including calming herbs like Brahmi and Ashwagandha can help. Has her blood pressure and thyroid been monitored regularly?

What are her thyroid levels and weight? It’s good that your mother’s thyroid and blood pressure are under medical supervision but before suggesting Ayurvedic management would want to know these details. In Ayurveda, an overactive thyroid is often linked to a Pitta and Vata imbalance, which can cause symptoms like anxiety, restlessness, and a persistent cough. The cough may result from throat irritation due to thyroid enlargement or excess Pitta. A Pitta-pacifying diet with cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and leafy greens is recommended, while spicy, fried, and salty foods should be avoided. Including antioxidant-rich foods like berries, pomegranate, and amla can also be beneficial. Staying hydrated with warm water or herbal teas like coriander or mint tea can soothe the throat. Light exercises, gentle yoga, and breathing practices like Bhramari and Anulom Vilom can calm the mind and balance hormones. Daily oil massages with coconut or almond oil help relax the body and reduce stress. For the cough, a mixture of honey, turmeric, and warm water or licorice tea can provide relief, and steam inhalation with ajwain or mint leaves may ease irritation. Since she recently experienced high blood pressure, it’s essential to monitor it regularly.
