Abstract

Thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid harmone, called hypothyroidism. It is disorder of endocrine system. Modern management is not as much effective & preventive as compared to ayurvedic management. In text of ayurveda, there is no direct reference of hypothyroidism. While analysing signs & symptoms of patient to reach dosha-dushya sammurchana & samprapti, we note that there is involvement of all srotas but dominantly Rasavaha srotas. A single case study of patient 52 years old female newly diagnosed with hypothyroidism presenting symptoms weight gain, stress, raktalpata, swelling over face since 3 months and presented in the outpatient department with major complaints of anaemia i.e. very low Hb levels 7.0gm% on 02/08.2022 undergoing modern treatment of hypothyroidism and after treatment on 01/09/2022 her hb levels are 9.80gm%. Hence ayurvedic drug of choice is more useful and best treatment for raktalpata induced by hypothyroidism.
