Increased awareness about role of Ayurveda on successfully treating many metabolic disorders, is leading generate hopes among women with thyroid dysfunction. And some awakened souls understand that they need to do something about their nonfunctioning thyroid gland which is so important and had looked after them for so long (when they in their mother’s womb). Reads this article, how Ayurveda can help support your thyroid gland to work efficiently once again.
Older overweight women are the most favorite of the thyroid gland. And women also love their thyroid gland so much that they blame it for their any metabolic problem- mostly for weight gain and hair fall. The moment they feel that they have been putting on some extra grams, they rush to the lab to get their thyroid checked. ‘look, doctor it is all wrong with my thyroid that is making me obese, -most women say when they consult me.
Let me give you some statistics. A study conducted in 2013 found that 1 in 10 Indian adults have hypothyroid problem. Moreover, 42 million Indians are believed to have hypothyroidism in 2014. Hypothyroidism is most common thyroid problem in India. 11% of Indian population have hypothyroidism which is higher compared to other developed countries such as in UK it is only 2%. It was interested to see in a research that people living inland (not costal side) are more affected with thyroid dysfunction. Many public health experts believe that more people suffers from the thyroid imbalance than estimated but they keep struggling and do not know about it and thus left undetected and untreated.
Almost 10-20% women as young as 25 years old come to me for their thyroid problem. During their blood test, they come to know that their TSH levels are higher than normal. Surprisingly, many says that they have been taking tablets for it (Hypothyroidism) but still their thyroid is not functioning. And real thrilled part is that their thyroid function shows different results in different labs and when they check at different days. ‘So much variation doctor, I do not know which report to trust’, at points their frustration speaks aloud.
