ABSTRACT

Thyroid disorders are prevalent around the globe affecting almost 42 million people in India [1] & 1.6 billion people [2] are at high risk of getting afflicted in the global level. Hyperthyroidism, a hyper metabolic state is encountered more in females. Pathologically there will be increased levels of T3 and T4 levels. Ayurveda doesn’t have any direct references for this condition hence they can be understood under the spectrum of Anukta Vyadhi. The concept of Anukta vyadhi in terms of samprapti can be done by Trividha bodhya, thereby an attempt has been made to derive a samprapti for hyperthyroidism from Ayurvedic perspective. Clinical manifestations seen in this condition can be understood with that of Atikarshya lakshanas explained in sutrasthana by Acharya charaka. The systemic clinical manifestations due to hyperthyroidism with respect to each system can be substantiated to that of several lakshanas explained by Acharyas and an attempt has been made to elucidate such in this paper. Several research works were done using single drugs which have effectively reduced the T3 & T4 (triiodo thyronine & tetra iodothyronine respectively) levels. These drugs include Tulasi, Shigru, Bilva, Amalaki, Shankhapushpi, Sitaphala, Sarpagandha, Methika, Mandukaparni etc. and amongst the above said dravyas some of their role in the samprapti vighatana with scientific studies will be dealt in this review. Keywords: Anukta vyadhi, Trividha bodhya, T3, T4 levels, hyperthyroidism, Atikarshya [3]
