Abstract
ROLE OF DHATWAGNI IN HYPOTHYROIDISM
Dr. Ritika Khajuria*
ABSTRACT
Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder resulting from deficiency of thyroid hormone. The main action of thyroid hormone is to act as a spark to start-up body metabolism at cellular level. Even though there are no direct references in Ayurvedic classical texts in terms of hypoproduction of the hormone by the thyroid gland. In Ayurveda, it can be correlated with the actions of Agni. In Hypothyroidism this rate is slowed down and there is decreased tissue metabolism. This slows down the rate of ATP synthesis, protein synthesis, hampers carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. The hypometabolism that occurs in hypothyroidism is similar to the concept of Manda Agni. Manda Agni leads to the various clinical features similar to features of Hypothyroidism.
