Dear Doctor, Please give following treatment for three months and check up TSH and if necessary T3 and T4.
1- Kanchanar Guggulu vati 500 mg
2- Punarnavasava 10 ml + Gokharu kadha 10 ml X twice
3- Trikatu 100gm+Bibhitak 50 gm, mix thoroughly and take 3 gm with honey twice in a day.
4- Nasya-(Nasal Medication) Anu Tail in morning.
Aahara- Vihara:
• focusing on a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management (meditation, chanting mantra)
• avoid cruciferous vegetables — such as turnips and cabbage — as they can block thyroid hormone production,
• avoid any highly processed foods, Soya, Gluten, Fatty foods, Butter, Excess Sugar(daily intake may be 20 to 25 gm), Coffee, Sodium-less salt or use Rock salt- Sendha Namak
• Regular moderate exercise is very good, to convert inactive thyroid hormone (T4) to the active form (T3) by removing an iodine molecule
• Manage weight
• Regular good sleep
• Take Selenium rich fruits, food items like Onion, Garlic, Adrak, Curry patta, Pudina
Sarvangasana {shoulder stand}is the most suitable and effective asana for the thyroid gland. Enormous pressure is placed on the gland by this powerful posture. As the thyroid gland has a large blood supply, pressure has a dramatic effect on its function, improving circulation and squeezing out stagnant secretions. Also beneficial after Sarvangasanais the practice of Matsyasana (fish pose) and Halasna (plough pose). Other effective asanas include Surya Namaskara(Sun salutation), Pavanamuktasana (wind relieving pose) with emphasis on head and neck exercises, Supta Vajrasana(sleeping thunderbolt pose) and all backward bending asanas.
