Hello, Thank you for sharing your concern. Based on your details, you are diagnosed with thyroid dysfunction, likely hypothyroidism (as you are taking levothyroxine), but your symptoms becoming thin, disturbed sleep, no typical fatigue suggest a fluctuating thyroid state or possibly a borderline or post-pregnancy thyroiditis phase rather than classic hypothyroidism. Also, low hemoglobin since childhood can worsen hormonal balance and energy levels. After pregnancy, many women experience postpartum thyroid imbalance. In Ayurveda, this is related to Agnimandya (weakened metabolism), Rasa-Rakta Dhatu Kshaya (low blood and plasma nourishment), and Vata-Pitta imbalance. Continuous use of synthetic hormones like levothyroxine doesn’t correct the root imbalance it just replaces what the body isn’t producing well. The goal in Ayurveda is to stimulate your thyroid gland, support blood production, and correct metabolism from within. Treatment Plan Step 1: Ama Pachana (First 5 Days) To clear underlying toxins affecting thyroid and metabolism • Hingvashtaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water after food twice daily • Trikatu Churna – ¼ tsp with honey and lukewarm water before breakfast and dinner Step 2: Internal Medicines (Start after 5 days and continue for 3–6 months) 1. Kanchanara Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food (supports thyroid gland function) 2. Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime (restores sleep, regulates hormones) 3. Punarnavadi Mandura – 2 tablets twice daily after meals (for anemia and swelling) 4. Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet at night with water (for stress, mood and hormonal balance) Step 3: Diet & Lifestyle • Include cooked drumstick leaves, beetroot, dates, sesame seeds, and black raisins • Use ghee in food — helps in nourishing the dhatus • Avoid raw cabbage, cauliflower, soya — suppress thyroid • Practice Nadi Shodhana and Bhramari Pranayama daily • Sleep before 10:30 pm and wake by 6 am Investigations to Monitor • Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) – every 3 months • Serum Ferritin + CBC – for anemia status • Vitamin D3, B12 – rule out hidden deficiencies • Anti-TPO Antibodies – to check autoimmune thyroiditis Note-Do not stop levothyroxine abruptly. Ayurvedic treatment supports the gland to recover and possibly reduce dependency gradually under doctor’s monitoring. Once TSH stabilizes and stays normal, tapering may be considered. Your healing is possible. The thyroid is sensitive to stress, food, and even emotions stay calm, be consistent, and let the body respond slowly and steadily. Take care, Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Dr. Khushboo
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic practitioner with a diverse foundation in both modern and traditional systems of medicine. My journey began with six months of hands-on experience in allopathic medicine at District Hospital Sitapur, where I was exposed to acute and chronic care in a high-volume clinical setting. This experience strengthened my diagnostic skills and deepened my understanding of patient care in an allopathic framework. Complementing this, I have also completed six months of clinical training in Ayurveda and Panchakarma, focusing on natural detoxification and rejuvenation therapies. During this time, I gained practical experience in classical Ayurvedic treatments, including Abhyanga, Basti, Shirodhara, and other Panchakarma modalities. I strongly believe in a patient-centric approach that blends the wisdom of Ayurveda with the clinical precision of modern medicine for optimal outcomes. Additionally, I hold certification in Garbha Sanskar, a specialized Ayurvedic discipline aimed at promoting holistic wellness during pregnancy. I am passionate about supporting maternal health and fetal development through time-tested Ayurvedic practices, dietary guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. My approach to healthcare emphasizes balance, preventive care, and customized wellness plans tailored to each individual’s constitution and health goals. I aim to create a nurturing space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Whether treating seasonal imbalances, supporting women’s health, or guiding patients through Panchakarma therapies, I am committed to delivering care that is rooted in tradition and guided by compassion.

HELLO SELVARAJ VINOSHA, You have hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid gland is underachieve and does not produce enough thyroid hormone (T3,T4). These symptoms are essential for -metabolism (energy production in cells) -menstrual health -mental clarity -mood regulation -heart rate -digestion -hair and skin health Your thyroid problem started after pregnancy , which suggests postpartum thyroiditis- a condition where immune or hormonal changes after delivery disturb thyroid function. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE HYPO SYMPTOMS? you mentioned -you are thin, not gaining weight -you have sleep disturbances -you've had low hemoglobin since childhood These are not classic signs of hypothyroidism (which usually causes weight gain, cold intolerance, fatigue). So, there could be 1) OVERMEDICATION If your body is getting too much levothyroxine, you may might feel more hyperthyroid- like fast metabolism, poor sleep, weight loss. WHAT TO DO-> Re-check TSH, free T3, free T4 to ensure you're on the right dose. In Ayurveda, your case seems to involve: 1) AGNI DUSHTI (Impaired metabolism) -Agni= digestive and metabolic fire -improper agni leads to Ama (toxin accumulation) and poor tissue(dhatu) nourishment. 2) VATA DOMINANACE -your sleep issues, thinness, and long standing anemia indicate excess vata dosha. 3) PANDU ROGA (Ayurvedic anemia) -since childhood, your hemoglobin is low-> affecting Rakta dhatus and Ojas (vital immunity) 4) THYROID= DYSFUNCTION OF RASADHATU + AGNI -the thyroid gland relates to Rasa (first tissue from food) and Agni (digestive fire) -If the first transformation itself is weak, hormone production is affected AYURVEDIC TREATMENT GOALS 1) normalise thyroid 2)improve blood 3)calm the mind and improve sleep 4)improve digestion and nutrient absorption 5)reduce medication dependence over time (if possible) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS **FOR THYROID BALANCE -KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3 months ** FOR HORMONE ADAPTOGEN + SLEEP -ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at night for long term ** FOR ANEMIA AND BLOOD BUILDING -PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 3 months ** FOR MIND CALMING -SHANKHAPUSHPI SYRUP= 2 tsp before bed for 2 months ** FOR RASAYANA/IMMUNITY -CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp in morning with warm water for 6 months EXTERNAL AYURVEDIC THERAPIES -OIL MASSAGE= WITH MAHANARAYAN TAILA = daily or alternate days, that calm vata, improve circulation -NASYA= instill 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril daily morning =balances hormones via pituitary access DIET TO BE FOLLOWED FOCUS ON -warm, fresh, lightly spiced foods - easy to digest , nourishing meals -iron rich plant foods INCLUDE -cooked leafy greens palak, moringa -ghee small amounts - improves digestive fire, supports hormones - dates, figs, sesame seeds= rich in iron - mung dal khihdi- soothing, nourishing -jeera, ajwain, ginger, turmeric, black pepper- improves digestion. AVOID -cold, stale, or refrigerated foods -overuse of dairy - can increase kapha - processed sugar and fried snacks - excess caffeine (worsens vata and sleep) LIFESTYLE -wake before 7 AM, sleep by 10-10:30 PM - avoid daytime sleep increases kapha -oil massage weekly - keep a consistent daily routine vata balancing YOGA ASANA Practice gently for 15-30 mins/day -Sarvangasana= stimulates thyroid gland -Matsyasana= balances hormones -Bhujangasana= stimulates adrenal and thyroid function -Setubandhasana= supports sleep, reduces anxiety avoid vigorous practice. Move slowly and mindfully PRANAYAM -Nadi sodhana= balances left/right brain and hormones -Bhramari= deeply calming, improves sleep -Ujjayi= gentle throat breathing, stimulates thyroid area HOME REMEDIES 1) JEERA-CORIANDER-FENNEL WATER -1 tsp each in 1L water, boil, sip warm throughout the day. 2) ROASTED AJWAIN + JAGGERY -mix ajwain with jaggery , eat 1 tsp after lunch/dinner - helps digestion, anemia 3) BLACK SESAME BALLS -mix black sesame powder , jaggery, ghee- roll into balls. 1 daily 4) ASHWAGANDHA + WARM MILK. AT night improves sleep and reduces vata. -Thyroid conditions can often be managed, supported, and sometimes improved using Ayurveda, especially in non-autoimmune or postpartum cases -Do not suddenly stop Levothyroxine. -With proper diet, Ayurvedic medicines, and yoga patients reduce their dependency on thyroid pills -The goal is not just stopping medicine but achieving balance and health at the root level-metabolism, hormones, digestion and mind. DO FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY FOR 3 MONTHS HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
