Dear priya
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what going on with your health. It is really good that you’re looking for natural ways to support yourself with hyperthyroidism and Aurea, especially at 19. That is a proactive and positive step.
I see you are already taking THYROIDINUM FROM HERE, HOMEOPATHIC DOCTOR
In Ayurveda, the thyroid gland is associated primarily with digestive fire Ojas ( vital essence) and the vata pitta energies
Hyperthyroidism, typically present as aggrevation of piita and vata doshas often with a depletion of Kaffa and Ojas, when the digestive and cellular fire becomes excessive, it leads to over stimulation of metabolic processes manifesting as a
Weight loss, despite good appetite
Palpitation and anxiety
Heat intolerance and sweating
Irritability or emotional instability
Insomnia or restlessness
Irregular periods in some cases
This condition can also dry out tissues internally, disturb the harmonal balance and deplete reproductive fluids, does linking it to Leucorrhoea as a secondary manifestation particularly when dhatu ( tissue) strength is compromised
It is important to remember that Ayurveda is all about you as an individual. We look at your unique body type your current imbalance and your digestive strength to truly figure out the best plan.
From an Ayurvedic point of view, hyperthyroidism often means your bodies fire or metabolism and movement elements or a bit overactive
Leucorrhoea on the other hand,
Usually points to an imbalance in your water and earth element for you balancing all VATA PITTA and KAPHA will be key
Let us talk about some general diet and lifestyle tips that can help keeping this imbalance in mind
Your Ayurvedic diet plan-
The main goal year is to cool down any excess heat come here, nervous system and prevent any KAPHA buildup
Foods, you can include-
Cooling and soothing- think things like rice, Barley quinoa- this are easier to digest and generally calming
Gentle diary-warm, plain milk, and little ghee can be really nourishing and help calm pitta and vata
Sweet fruits- go for ripe, sweet fruits like apple, pears, melon, grapes, pomegranate, and sweet berries. They are cooling and give you natural energy without over stimulating.
Veggies- cooked, green leafy vegetable, avoid raw for now
You can take cucumber, pumpkin, carrots, and beetroot. They are generally cooling and provide nourishment
Easy to digest protein-moong dal is fantastic
It is light and easy on your digestion. Other cook lentils, or fine in moderation.
Healthy fats- a little ghee and coconut oil can help calm things down
Sweetners-a bit of jaggery or maple Syrup is better than the refined sugar
Cooling spices- use spices like coriander, fennel, cardamom, and mint
They help with direction without adding extra heat, turmeric is generally good, but use its sparingly for now as it is warming
Avoid hot and spicy foods. Try to limit chilies and black pepper.
They can really fire up here. Pitta
Sour and fermented- cut back on Vinaygar because very sore fruits and strong fermented foods like cheese yoghurt. This can increase PITTA.
Processed foods -stay away from anything super processed package or deep fried. They often create AMA that is toxins in the body and mess with your balance.
Too much salt -especially refined salt. If you use salt, rock salt in moderation is better.
Caffeine and stimulant -coffee black tea, energy drinks can over, stimulate your nervous system, which isn’t what we want with hyperthyroidism
Refined sugar -white sugar and high fructose, corn syrup are best avoided
Excess iodine -while iodine is necessary too much can be problematic, be careful with things like seaweed and highly ionised salt
Raw and cold foods -even though we want cooling food, very cold or item canweaken your digestion
Stick to cook or lightly warmed food
If you eat broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, or brusels sprouts, make sure they are thoroughly cooked as Rao version can sometimes affect thyroid functions
Your daily routine should be in a disciplined way if you follow it regularly, then you can see a huge difference in your health in a positive way
Try to wake up early that is by 6 AM
Eat your meals at regular intervals every day
Your biggest meal should be lunch
Get enough, sleep at least 7 to 9 hours of restful sleep
Staying up, super late, can throw your systems off
Eat mindfully -when you eat, try to do it in a calm place,chew thoroughly and avoid distractions like your phone
Hyperthyroidism is often made worse by stress and anxiety
Meditation and breathing -gentle breathing exercise exercises or wonderfully calming for your mind and body
Gentle movement -yoga poses that helps calm your nervous system like child pose or legs up the wall pose are great
Avoid anything to strenuous or heating
Even a short walk in nature can be grounding and calming
Massaging your body with a cooling oil like coconut oil or sesame oil can be incredible soothing for your nervous system
Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day
Skip ice cold drinks
Do not overdo it -listen to your body if you feel tired- rest
Don’t pull yourself to exertion either physically or mentally
For Leucorrhoea-maintain excellent personal hygiene
Wear loose breathable clothing like cotton to allow air flow
Focus on proper digestion to prevent from toxins, buildup
Can take shatavari churna-
Ashwagandha churna - 1/4 th tsp with warm milk at night
Stri rasayana vati -one tablet twice daily after food with water
Follow-ups are very important
Continue both medicine, but give a gap of at least one hour to eat
At 19, your body has amazing healing power by adopting this general Ayurvedic principles for your diet and lifestyle. You can significantly support your bodies, inner healing capabilities and work towards finding balance
Wishing you good health and well-being

When it comes to managing hyperthyroidism with Ayurveda, it's essential to focus on pacifying excess Pitta dosha, which is often aggravated in this condition. Adjust your diet to include cooling, mildly sweet, and nourishing foods that help balance your energy levels.
First, let's talk about your diet. You might want to consider incorporating more of foods like leafy green vegetables, cucumbers, and squashes. These can have a soothing effect on your system. Whole grains such as rice and oats can provide sustained energy, too. However, be mindful of avoiding excessive intake of hot, spicy, or overly sour foods, as these can aggravate Pitta and fuel the imbalance.
Think about reducing your intake of stimulants like caffeine found in coffee and energy drinks. Alcohol and smoking could be avoided as well. Instead, prefer herbal teas such as licorice or brahmi tea that can have a calming effect and nourish your nervous system. Ensure you're staying hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day to maintain balance.
Nuts & seeds, though healthy in measures, can be slightly heating. So, use nuts like almonds or walnuts in moderation, and soak them overnight to reduce their heat potency. Prioritize fruits that are sweet and hydrating like melons, berries, and pomegranates.
In terms of precautions, regular practice of calming activities is key. Yoga and meditation, particularly focusing on deep breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom, help soothe the mind and enhance overall stability. They have a grounding effect that is beneficial for someone with hyperthyroidism. It's beneficial to maintain a regular routine, managing stress and ensuring you get adequate sleep.
Monitor your symptoms carefully, and stay in touch with both your Ayurvedic and homeopathic practitioners. Remember, these guidelines work best with a personalized approach that considers your unique constitution and lifestyle.
