Vd. Abhinandan A. Muke* M.D. and Dr. Anand B. More
ABSTRACT Hypothyroidism is a clinical syndrome resulting from a deficiency of thyroid hormones Current medical science is able to discover only few facts about mechanism of Hypothyroidism, but fails to understand its etiology completely. In Ayurved, there is no any direct reference of hypothyroidism. Eternal guidelines of Ayurved can help us to diagnose, control & cure the disease successfully. In the present study, we tried to find the Aharaj, Viharaj and Manasik Hetu of the Hypothyroidism and tried to find the pathogenesis of hypothyroidism in Ayurvedic perspective. Till date no work is carried out in context with etiopathogensis in Ayurvedic perspective. The Hetu observed in this study, will be helpful for prevention of the disease. The pathogenesis in Ayurvedic perspective will help for the better treatment of hypothyroidism. Objectives: 1) To identify the Hetu’s (etiological factors) of the disease with Ayurvedic Perspective. 2) To recognize the Dosha-Dooshya Avastha, possible nature of Dosha-Dushti dominance, in the pathogenesis of Hypothyroidism. A special case paper was designed on the basis of data collected from literature search.T3,T4 and TSH were estimated at the time of enrollment. Rogi Pareeksha was done according to CRF. Ahara Vihara information of patient was collected as per questionnaire. Total 100 patients of Hypothyroidism were studied. Conclusions: Hypothyroidism was dominant in females, especially in housewives and in Kapha Vata & Vata Kapha Prakriti patients. In Ahara, Chicken, Fish, Mutton, Sunflower oil, Curd, Tea, Milkshake, Torai (Luffa acutangula Roxb.) and Palaka (Spinacia oleracea lin.), Shali and Vishamashan are contributing factors in the Samprapti of hypothyroidism. Among Viharaj Hetu Avyayam, Vegavarodha, Divaswap were contributing factors in the Samprapti of Hypothyroidism. Among Manas Hetu, Chinta was predominantly observed in the Samprapti of Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a Kapha Vata Pradhan, Dwandwaja Vyadhi. Keywords: Hypothyroidism, Etiopathogenesis, Hetu, Samprapti, Nonvegeterian, Curd. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
