HYPO THYROID
Natural Ayurvedic Thyroid Care
The Thyroid is a small butterfly shaped gland in the front of the neck. It is one of the most important endocrine glands in the body. Its major function is to produce hormones which are responsible for metabolism in the body.
In Ayurveda, this is related to metabolic “strength”, which is responsible for all activity in the body, down to the cellular level. It is how quickly or slowly the life-energy flows throughout the body. The thyroid gland is extremely sensitive, and easily responds to stress and stimuli. The rate of metabolism depends on how much hormone Thyroxin is produced. When the rate of metabolism is low or weak, a person experiences “hypo”thyroidism. The slow metabolic rate may result in symptoms such as weight gain, tiredness, lethargy, cold intolerance, edema, depression, poor memory and concentration. All organ function is slowed down. The slowed metabolism may also result in symptoms of constipation, dry skin, brittle hair, muscle stiffness and hoarse voice.
Ayurveda has certain herbs that can help balance the thyroid gland. “Kanchanara Guggulu” is the most potent herbal formula for treating thyroid problems including tumors and goiters. It cleans the deep tissues. The Guggulu resin moves toxins out of the lymph system. The pungent herbs inside this formula speed up metabolic activity. Other Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, Shilajit, Punarnava, Gokshura and Brahmi are combined to treat symptoms such as edema, swelling, constipation and depression.
Yoga therapy for the Vishuddha or fifth throat chakra helps to heal the thyroid gland. Beneficial asanas are the shoulder stand, plough, fish, and lion poses. Ujjayi Pranayama should be practiced for hypothyroid. Slowly chanting out loud the beej mantra “Hum” for the throat chakra, balances thyroid function. Wearing blue colored gemstones on the throat energizes the fifth chakra.
Nutritional recommendations for the thyroid would be to follow a balancing diet (hypothyroid). Foods with natural sources of iodine are watercress, sea weeds, nori, dulse, kelp, hijike, Irish moss, spirulina, chlorella, red marine and blue green algae. Coconut oil is found to especially help improve thyroid metabolism.
