Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating the body’s metabolism, energy levels, and hormonal balance. Imbalances in thyroid hormones — T3, T4, and TSH — can lead to various health issues. At Himgiri Wellness, we provide Ayurvedic solutions for managing thyroid conditions naturally and holistically.

Understanding Thyroid Hormones

  • T3 (Triiodothyronine) – Controls metabolism, energy, and mood.

  • T4 (Thyroxine) – Works with T3 to regulate body functions.

  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) – Released by the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid to produce T3 and T4.

Any imbalance in these hormones may result in:

1. Hypothyroidism (Low T3/T4, High TSH)

When the thyroid produces too little hormone, it slows down body functions.

🩺 Common Symptoms:

  • Fatigue and weight gain

  • Cold sensitivity

  • Hair fall and dry skin

  • Irregular or heavy periods

🌿 Ayurvedic Approach:
We focus on boosting thyroid function naturally by improving digestion (Agni), balancing Kapha dosha, and using thyroid-supportive herbs like Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Kanchanar.

2. Hyperthyroidism (High T3/T4, Low TSH)

In this condition, the thyroid is overactive and speeds up metabolism unnaturally.

🩺 Common Symptoms:

  • Weight loss despite normal eating

  • Palpitations or fast heartbeat

  • Heat intolerance

  • Irritability and anxiety

🌿 Ayurvedic Approach:
We calm the overactive thyroid through Pitta-pacifying herbs, lifestyle corrections, cooling diets, and mind-body relaxation therapies.
