| Popis: | Today’s era hypothyroidism is one of the most common and challenging disease in our society. Thyroid is the second most prevailing disorder in daily OPD. In endocrine system thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone so it’s called Hypothyroidism. Levothyroxine is the most efficacious hormone replacement treatment and this thyroxin therapy starting from 25mcg/day for hypothyroidism. The female-male ratio is approximately 6:1. Ayurveda has not mentioned endocrine disorders, instead for treatment of unspecified syndromes, it emphasizes on careful observation of symptoms and pathophysiology. In Ayurveda it can be co-related with the actions of “AGNI”. The sign and symptoms of hypothyroidism are similar to those of Kapha vriddhi (increases in kapha), Rasa Dushti, Medas dushti, Medas dhatwagni mandya(slow metabolism at adipose tissue level), and Kapha Avaran janya Dhatwagni Mandya (slow metabolism due to blockage of kapha). In ayurvedic text there is no direct reference of hypothyroidism but Galganda and Gandamala frequently used in the text. According to Charaka a swelling that is caused when a vitiated kapha affects the throat from the outside, and gradually produces swelling, is called galagand. Galgand is explained classically in all the Ayurvedic texts, including Shushruta and Astang hruday, since Galgand is the most untouched topic in Ayurveda and since Hypothyroidism is becoming one of the common problems in day-to-day practice. By using modern medicine many side effects occurs but through ayurwedic drugs hypothyroidism can be managed easily. This article discusses efficacy of Kanchnar twak kwath with shunthi churna and nimb tail Nasya in Hypothyroidism. |
