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

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 HORMONE ADAPTOGEN + SLEEP

** 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

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

-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

- excess caffeine (worsens vata and sleep)
LIFESTYLE
-wake before 7 AM, sleep by 10-10:30 PM

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
