ABSTRACT

Hypothyroidism is the Hormonal disorder results from decreased functioning of thyroid gland. It most frequently reflects disease of the gland itself (Primary Hypothyroidism) but can also be caused by pituitary disease (secondary Hypothyroidism) or hypothalamic disease (tertiary Hypothyroidism). According to Ayurvedic scriptures Hypothyroidism and Obesity can be directly correlated with a combination of majority of the Nanatmaja Rogas of Kapha Dosha. Clinically, the signs and symptoms of Hypothyroidism resemble with Agnimandya especially Dhatvagnimandya, Kaphaprakopa Lakshanas and Rasadushti Lakshanas and Sthaulya. A 28 years old female patient, a known case of Hypothyroidism, visited the OPD of department of panchakarma for the complaint of progressive weight-gain and consistently High TSH levels (9.75 mIU/ml) even after regular intake of Tab. Thyronorm 150mcg. After critical correlation of signs and symptoms of Hypothyroidism and Obesity, Vamana Karma i.e., Ayurvedic Therapeutic Emesis Therapy from the Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment was selected as the treatment of choice in the above patient of Hypothyroidism with Obesity. After a single cycle of Vamana Karma significant results were observed in the hormonal levels and also in the weight reduction. Thus, the current approach of Vamana Karma from Ayurvedic Panchakarma Treatment shows a better alternative in quick balancing the hormones and in the weight management.
