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.

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.
