Abstract
Thyroid problems are the most common endocrine disorders presently seen worldwide and Hypothyroidism is one of the most common functional disorders of thyroid gland. In India, the highest frequency of hypothyroidism is approximately 13.1% in individuals aged 46–54 and 7.5% in those aged 18–35. The overall prevalence is 11%. A comprehensive review of Ayurvedic texts, journals, and other research articles was conducted to establish the Ayurvedic diagnosis (Nidan Panchak) . The American Thyroid Association (ATA) states that women are five to eight times more likely than men to experience thyroid problems. Thyroid disorders affect one in eight women at some point in their lives. Thyroid hormone imbalance is the primary cause of thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid hormones' principal role is to regulate the body's metabolism; any disruption of these hormones can lead to reduced metabolic processes, which can result in two major conditions: hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. This study aims to provide insights into the understanding and management of hypothyroidism in Ayurveda, offering potential strategies for effective treatment.
Aim & Objective-To study the nidan panchak of hypothyroidism from ayurvedic perspective.
Material & Methods-Material for study of hypothyroidism are taken from journal, Articles and Ayurvedic Samhitas.
Conclusion- Thyroid hormone function is linked to the Ayurvedic concepts of dosha, Agni (jatharagni, dhawatagni, Bhutagni), and fundamental principles. Doshic vitiation and deficiency in Agni account for the clinical symptoms. By focusing on the restoration of metabolic equilibrium through nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted medicines, this integrative approach offers a deeper understanding of thyroid diseases and solid knowledge of the condition.
