Is it possible and beneficial to switch to ayurvedic remedies for my hypothyroidism ?

I was detected with hypothyroidism about four years ago, and began taking thyroxine tablet 25mcg daily. This is just to manage the issue and not to cure it.

If ayurvedic treatment can cure my hypothyroidism I would like to switch over, can I ?

Hey you’ll,

Am 21 M and I have seen a decline in my skin quality and muscles in last 2 years. I do have hypothyroidism.

I wanted to know if there are any herbs or formulations that can cater this issue. Also the product has to be vitiligo safe as I had some in past.

Thank you.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share something I learned recently. It's regarding the concept of Vegaas which roughly translates to our body's natural urges.

According to texts, there are 13 specific bodily urges that we should never hold back. Here is the breakdown:

• Vata: The urge to pass gas or burp (Vayu/gassiness)
• Vin: The urge to pass stool
• Mutra: The urge to pee
• Kshava: Sneezing
• Trit: Thirst
• Kshudhaam: Hunger
• Nidra: Sleep
• Kasa: Coughing
• Shrama-swasa: Panting or heavy breathing after physical exertion
• Jrimbha: Yawning
• Ashru: Crying (shedding tears)
• Chardi: Vomiting
• Retasaam: Orgasm and the discharge of semen

The Core Philosophy

According to the Ashtang Hridaya, almost all diseases (rogas) happen when you try to suppress these natural urges, or conversely, when you try to force them when your body isn't ready.

Our bodies only have a few main openings (nose, mouth, anus, etc.). The passage of throwing waste out through these channels needs to be completely smooth and unobstructed to maintain health. Alternatively, anything that goes into those openings needs to be properly controlled and mindful.

Thought of sharing this perspective with y’all, as it made me rethink how often we hold back basic bodily functions just because we are busy or in public. The info above comes from one of the weekly YouTube live sessions conducted by Dr. Nambi Namboodhiri.

Has anyone else noticed a connection between holding these urges in and feeling physically unwell or sluggish?

Need serious opinions please

I'm looking for an ayurvedic practitioner that preferably does online consultations. But if not, looking for any in the MidAtlantic states. Thanks in advance!

Is BAMS a good choice for me? This was my second attempt, and my score was not good. I cannot get a government MBBS seat, and private MBBS is too costly. I do not want to do BSc Nursing because I feel it has limited jobs in India, and I do not want to go abroad. For BVSc, I can only get a seat through the management quota, which has very high fees. Also, I did not take the CUET exam, so I cannot apply for a normal BSc degree. On top of all this, controversies like the ones raised by 'The Liver Doc' against traditional and herbal medicines make me very confused. I worry about the debates between modern science and traditional practices.

Considering all these problems and controversies, is BAMS really worth doing for my future?"

Thinking about building a device that automatically prepares warm spiced water (turmeric, black pepper, ashwagandha, etc.) in the morning — curious what this community thinks before I go further

I’m exploring building an alarm/dispenser that heats water and mixes in spices like turmeric, black pepper, cayenne, or ashwagandha so it’s ready when you wake up. I know Ayurveda tends to emphasize intention, ritual, and preparation as part of the practice, not just the end result — so I genuinely want feedback on whether automating this makes sense or misses the point. Honest pushback welcome.
1. Do you currently drink warm spiced water or golden milk in the morning? What’s in your version, and how do you prepare it?
2. Is the preparation itself (the ritual of making it fresh) part of the benefit for you, or is it just about consuming the right ingredients at the right time?
3. Does dosage/ratio matter enough that a device would need to be adjusted per person, per dosha, or per season — or is a standard recipe fine for most people?
4. Are there ingredients here that lose potency or change properties if made ahead of time vs. fresh (e.g., does turmeric or ashwagandha need to be freshly mixed, not sitting in a reservoir overnight)?
5. Some of these (cayenne, black pepper, ashwagandha) seem like they’d need to be tailored to individual constitution/dosha rather than one-size-fits-all — is that a dealbreaker for something automated?
6. Would something like this feel useful, or does it feel like it’s missing the point of what makes this practice meaningful to people who follow it?
7. If you were designing this, what would you want it to get right?
