Your symptoms suggest a Vata-Pitta imbalance affecting metabolism and digestion. Here’s a simplified Ayurvedic plan to help address these concerns:
1. Thyroid Health
Ashwagandha Powder: 1/2 teaspoon with warm water daily. Supports thyroid function.
Kanchnar Guggulu: 1 tablet twice daily with warm water. Helps regulate thyroid and metabolism.
2. Digestive Health
Triphala: 1/2 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime for digestion and bloating relief.
Jeera Water: Boil 1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds in a cup of water. Drink on an empty stomach.
3. Acne and Skin Health
Neem Tablet: 1 tablet daily for blood purification.
Kumkumadi Oil: Apply a small amount on acne scars before bedtime.
4. Menstrual Health
Shatavari Powder: 1/2 teaspoon with warm milk daily. Helps regulate menstrual cycle.
Include roasted sesame seeds in your diet for menstrual support.
5. Diet and Lifestyle Tips
Eat warm, light meals and avoid spicy or processed foods.
Practice yoga and breathing exercises like Kapalabhati to enhance digestion.
Note: If symptoms do not improve, consult an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized care and continue monitoring thyroid levels regularly.

Getting off thyroid medication isn’t something to do lightly or quickly, but it might be possible depending on what's going on with your body. You've got quite a mix of symptoms - gut issues, acne, menstrual stuff, and they all can connect back to thyroid health. Let's start by looking at everything through that Ayurvedic lens.
First thing, your gut issues, they're probably related to an aggravated Pitta dosha. That's where all the acidity and bloating is coming from. What you need is to cool things down, literally and figuratively. Try having a glass of aloe vera juice in the morning. It's soothing. Also, the timing of meals matters. Like, don't skip breakfast, have your largest meal at lunch, and go light at dinner.
Singh's word on detox – a gentle detox, not something aggressive. Triphala at night can help. It's a mix of three fruits and really helps keep digestion on point without being harsh.
Now acne, same story with Pitta. Turmeric is the go-to. A pinch in warm milk at bedtime works wonders for the skin and, surprise, your gut too. But make sure it's real turmeric, the good stuff.
Menstrual health and thyroid are closely linked. Less bleeding can sometimes suggest a low Kapha or Vata imbalance. Add some sesame seeds to your diet. They're nourishing and supportive of hormonal balance.
While working on these, engage in some daily movement – Yoga is ideal. Simple poses like Cat-Cow, and Cobra are particularly nourishing. Promotes hormonal balance and eases stress.
Stress, that's another thing. It messes with thyroid and everything else. Breathing exercises and meditation can be surprisingly effective.
Before discontinuing any medication, discuss this with your doctor. It's critical. They can potentially adjust your dose as thyroid function improves with lifestyle changes.
Every step suitable for changing dietary or lifestyle habits should be approached with care and reflection, make sure it feels doable. That's more sustainable than quick, sweeping changes.
