A Systemic Review on Hypothyroidism – a Most Prevalent Disease in India

Abstract

Ayurveda suggests that it can be related to Agni's activity. The Saman Vayu aids the Jatharagni, who is in charge of controlling food absorption and digestion. Bhutagni is in charge of transforming heterogeneous materials into homogeneous ones. Aahar rasa is converted into kitta and sara by Dhatwagni, who also controls metabolism. These vitiated Agnis cause the doshas to become imbalanced, which results in a number of conditions, including hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Additionally, symptoms of hypothyroidism and a Dosha Dushya imbalance may coexist. Nidan Sevan and Ama aggravate the hypothyroidism symptoms. By looking at the physiology of thyroid hormone, the vitiation of the dosha dushya ama agnimandya in hypothyroidism, and a brief therapeutic strategy, the current study seeks to investigate hypothyroidism from an ayurvedic viewpoint. Thyroid gland issues are becoming more and more of a global health problem. Globally, the prevalence of hypothyroidism is increasing because the thyroid gland is vulnerable to factors that cause stress and worry. Iodine deficiency is thought to affect 2 billion people worldwide, according to the WHO. A little or severe iodine deficiency can result in goiter and hypothyroidism, respectively. Women are 2–10 times more likely to experience these problems. In Ayurveda, there is no correlation between the thyroid glands at all. But the Ayurvedic medical system is fairly modern and gives little importance to disease classification. It rather insists on understanding the constitutional status of a disease and selecting the appropriate therapeutic approach. The primary role of thyroid hormone is to act as a spark to start the body's cellular metabolism.
