Dr. Nisha Bisht · Accepted Answer

At age 63, with hypothyroidism (on Thyronorm), persistent weight gain, ankle swelling, thinning eyebrows, and sluggish recovery from chikungunya, it’s clear your body is struggling with deep metabolic and lymphatic stagnation.

Throughout the Day:

Sip warm water infused with jeera + ajwain + coriander seeds

Include fresh ginger, garlic, turmeric, and bitter veggies (karela, methi) to reduce inflammation.

Homemade soups- (drumstick, bottle gourd, ridge gourd)

Moong dal, barley, millets

Avoid cold, sour dairy, gluten, sugar, and fried foods

Dinner:
Early, light dinner (soups, cooked veggies, or khichdi)

Lifestyle Practices

Gentle walking + stretching daily (no intense workouts yet)

Elevate legs during rest for swelling

Warm sesame oil Abhyanga (massage) to boost circulation and lymph

Short midday rest, early light dinner, and regular sleep-wake cycle

Dr. M.Sushma · Answer

I truly understand what you’re going through. Your symptoms—despite a “normal” TSH—suggest deeper dosha imbalances and metabolic sluggishness, which modern tests often miss
 I offer personalized, root-cause-based consultations focusing on hormone balance, metabolism, and recovery from post-viral fatigue (like chikungunya).

If you’re open, I’d be happy to guide you with a paid consultation—this includes detailed history-taking, dosha analysis, dietary and herbal recommendations tailored to your needs.

Dr. Ayush Varma · Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing some troubling symptoms despite having regular thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, and dealing with post-chikungunya recovery. In Ayurveda, we often look for balance across body systems, so let's consider a few possibilities. You might be experiencing an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which can lead to weight gain, water retention, and feeling sluggish.

One of the steps could be focusing on improving your Agni or digestive fire. You can start by incorporating ginger, which enhances metabolism. Simply chew a slice of fresh ginger with a pinch of salt before meals, and it can aid your digestion. Also, since your diet has been the same for years, it may be useful to bring in some variety and include foods with heating properties like peppers, mustard seeds, or garlic to ignite the digestion. Reducing salty and sour tastes in the diet can also help reduce Kapha symptoms.

Regarding the swelling in the ankles, Ayurvedic practices suggest certain herbs like Punarnava that have diuretic properties. Decrease Kapha-aggravating foods such as dairy products, sweets, and heavy oils. Instead, favor whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Lifestyle changes can also significantly help. Ensure you're engaging in regular exercise that suits your body's capacity—perhaps yoga or a brisk walk as chikungunya recovery allows. Pranayama, specifically Kapalabhati or Bhastrika, can help increase detoxification.

Do keep in mind while these steps can support your situation, maintaining the thyroid medication prescribed by your allopathic doctor is essential. As always, before you proceed with any Ayurvedic recommendations, please consult with your healthcare provider or a local Ayurveda practicnare to ensure safety as individial conditions can vary greatly. Your holistic wellbeing requires careful balance between different health perspectives.
