Thyroid Disorders: Ayurveda, Siddha & Homeopathy Remedies

Understanding Thyroid Disorders

Understanding Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid gland, located in the neck, regulates metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. When this gland malfunctions, it leads to thyroid disorders such as: 

  1. Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) – The thyroid produces too little hormones, slowing down metabolism. 
  2. Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid) – The thyroid produces too much hormones, speeding up metabolism. 
  3. Goiter – An enlarged thyroid gland caused by iodine deficiency or autoimmune conditions. 
  4. Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases – Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) and Graves' disease (hyperthyroidism) occur when the immune system attacks the thyroid. 
Causes of Thyroid Disorders

Causes of Thyroid Disorders 

  1. Genetics – Family history of thyroid issues.
