How to reduce thyroid levels naturally without any medicines - #23328

Have you started medicines for thyroid? How much is the TSH level?

Balancing thyroid levels naturally is indeed possible, although it takes patience and dedication. In Ayurveda, the thyroid is closely linked with the throat chakra, and an imbalance might indicate a disturbance in Vata, Pitta, or Kapha dosha. Since you mentioned no significant symptoms but hairfall, we might need a balanced approach. First, focus on your diet. An important aspect is samskara, or the transformation process of food in the body. Including foods rich in iodine like seaweed can be beneficial, as iodine supports thyroid function. However, if you consume sea vegetables, do so in moderation, as excess can conversely affect your thyroid. Increase cooked vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, particularly sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and walnuts which are high in omega-3 fatty acids that nourish tissues. Try to avoid cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, broccoli unless they are fully cooked, as they can interfere with thyroid function. Next, consider your lifestyle. Regular exercise like brisk walking or yoga will help to stimulate your metabolism naturally and can stabilize your hormones. There are specific yoga asanas like sarvangasana (shoulder stand), halasana (plough pose), and matsyasana (fish pose) that are believed to benefit the thyroid gland. Managing stress is also crucial. Everyday meditation practices or breath-work can help keep stress and anxiety at bay, thus positively impacting the thyroid. Pranayama techniques like Ujjayi and Bhramari are especially calming. Finally, support healthy hair growth and reduce hairfall through oil massages. Massaging the scalp with warm bhringraj or coconut oil at least twice a week helps in bolstering hair and soothing the scalp. Maintaining balance in your unique prakriti is key, and consulting with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner can provide more personalized attention, should you need it. But remember, if you don't see any change or your symptoms escalate, consider reaching out for a professional check-up to ensure you're on the right path.
