What Are Thyroid Disorders?
The thyroid is a small gland located at the front of the neck. It produces hormones that help regulate metabolism, energy use, heart rate and temperature regulation. Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid produces too much or too little hormone, or when the gland is affected by another structural or autoimmune condition.
Common thyroid disorders include: hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease, thyroid nodules, goitre, thyroiditis.
The symptoms of thyroid disorders can overlap with many other health concerns. A proper assessment may involve symptoms, physical findings, medical history and laboratory investigations such as thyroid function tests. The Ayurvedic assessment does not replace appropriate thyroid testing or medical evaluation.
Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism: What's the Difference?
Hypothyroidism: when the thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormone. People may experience fatigue, feeling unusually cold, weight gain or difficulty losing weight, dry skin, constipation, reduced energy, changes in mood, difficulty concentrating, hair changes, changes in menstrual patterns.
Hyperthyroidism: when there is too much thyroid hormone activity. People may experience feeling unusually warm, increased sweating, unintentional weight loss, fast or irregular heartbeat, increased appetite, nervousness or restlessness, difficulty sleeping, trembling, frequent bowel movements, changes in menstrual patterns.
Ayurvedic Understanding of Thyroid Disorders
Ayurveda considers an individual's health concerns within the context of their constitution, digestion, metabolism, daily routine and broader health pattern. In classical Ayurvedic assessment, factors such as Prakriti, Vikriti, Dosha and Agni may be considered where relevant to the individual's presentation.
Thyroid disorders are a modern medical diagnostic category, so an Ayurvedic consultation should not be presented as a substitute for thyroid diagnosis, laboratory testing or appropriate medical management.
Dr. Bali may consider: current symptoms, previous thyroid diagnosis, thyroid function test results, previous investigations, current medicines, appetite and digestion, bowel habits, sleep pattern, daily routine, changes in weight, energy levels, menstrual patterns where relevant, family and health history, Prakriti and Vikriti, Nadi and tongue examination where appropriate.
Why Thyroid-Related Symptoms May Continue
People with thyroid disorders may continue to experience symptoms even after receiving a diagnosis, and the reasons can differ between individuals. Symptoms may be influenced by thyroid hormone levels, the underlying thyroid condition, other health concerns, medication-related factors or changes in sleep, routine and general health. A broader Ayurvedic assessment can help consider the wider health picture alongside the thyroid diagnosis.
