Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

For managing thyroid-related issues, Ayurveda focuses on balancing metabolism and improving overall vitality. Your symptoms of weight gain, skin problems, weakness, and allergies indicate an imbalance, often linked to Kapha and Vata doshas, which can disrupt thyroid function. To address this holistically, Ayurvedic herbs, diet, and lifestyle practices can offer significant benefits.

For thyroid support, Kanchnar Guggulu is highly recommended as it helps in managing glandular swellings and supports metabolic balance. Take 1-2 tablets twice daily after meals with warm water. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is another powerful herb that supports thyroid health, alleviates weakness, and enhances energy levels; 500 mg taken twice daily with warm milk or water can be beneficial.

To address skin issues, Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia) and Neem are ideal for purifying the blood and reducing allergies. You may take Manjishthadi Kwath (15 ml with an equal amount of water) twice daily. Additionally, applying Kumkumadi Taila externally on the skin can help reduce pigmentation and improve complexion.

Weight management can be supported by Triphala powder (1 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime), which aids digestion and detoxification. Dietary adjustments, such as avoiding cold, heavy, or oily foods, and emphasizing warm, lightly spiced foods, are key to balancing metabolism. Adding more fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and moderate amounts of protein will also support weight management and skin health.

Incorporating gentle exercise and yoga into your routine will further aid in balancing your metabolism and boosting energy levels.

To manage thyroid-related symptoms like weight gain, skin issues, weakness, and allergies, focus on a balanced diet rich in iodine, selenium, zinc, fiber, and hydration to support thyroid health, skin, and energy levels. Regular exercise, such as walking or yoga, can help boost metabolism and reduce stress, which often worsens thyroid symptoms. For skin care, apply natural moisturizers like coconut oil or aloe vera, and consider herbal masks with turmeric and honey. Ayurvedic herbs like ashwagandha, triphala, and guggul may support thyroid function and overall wellness, but it’s best to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for guidance. Maintain a consistent routine with set meal times and prioritize quality sleep to stabilize metabolism and manage fatigue. Regular checkups with a healthcare provider will help monitor and manage your thyroid health effectively.
