Priya very sorry to know that at age of 19 you are facing a hormonal issue, but don't worry at this age you can reverse it ,if you follow medictions+ diet+ lyfstyle. Diet chart you can follow for example - Ayurvedic Diet Plan for Hyperthyroidism & Leucorrhoea Morning (on waking): 1 glass warm water with 1 tsp soaked methi seeds (fenugreek) OR Warm tulsi or coriander seed water (helps reduce internal heat and calm thyroid) Breakfast (8–9 AM): Moong dal dosa or soft khichdi with ghee Stewed apple or papaya slices Herbal tea like tulsi-licorice or coriander-fennel tea (avoid green/black tea) Mid-Morning (11 AM): Fresh seasonal fruit like pear, guava, or pomegranate OR Amla juice (10–15 ml) diluted in water (cooling and rich in antioxidants) Lunch (12:30–1:30 PM): 1–2 phulka rotis (no oil) or small bowl of red rice Lauki (bottle gourd), tori (ridge gourd), or spinach sabzi Moong dal or masoor dal (thin, not spicy) A spoon of cow ghee (balances thyroid fire) Cucumber, beetroot, or carrot salad (lightly steamed if digestion is weak) Post-Lunch (optional): Fennel or jeera water (1/2 glass) after 30 minutes to ease digestion Evening Snack (4–5 PM): Roasted makhana (foxnuts) or a small handful of soaked almonds (5–6) Coriander-cumin-fennel herbal tea or lukewarm buttermilk with mint Dinner (7–8 PM): Vegetable khichdi (moong dal + rice + lauki or carrot) with a dash of ghee OR roti with palak or tinda sabzi Avoid curd or milk at night (can worsen leucorrhoea) Before Bed (9:30–10 PM): Lukewarm turmeric milk (if no lactose intolerance) Add pinch of nutmeg and cardamom (helps sleep, reduces discharge) --- Important Ayurvedic Guidelines: 1.
