It is important to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal remedies for hypothyroidism. Here is a simple home remedy using Ayurvedic herbs that may help support thyroid health:
Ingredients:
- Ashwagandha powder (Withania somnifera)
- Brahmi powder (Bacopa monnieri)
- Shatavari powder (Asparagus racemosus)
- Triphala powder (a combination of Haritaki, Amalaki, and Bibhitaki)
- Ginger root powder (Zingiber officinale)
- Honey
Directions:
- Mix 1 teaspoon each of Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Shatavari, Triphala, and ginger root powder in a small bowl.
- Add 1 teaspoon of honey to the mixture and mix well.
- Consume this mixture twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Shatavari are known for their hormone-balancing effects, while Triphala supports digestion and elimination. Ginger root powder helps to reduce inflammation in the body, which can be beneficial for people with hypothyroidism. Honey adds sweetness and also has antibacterial properties.
It’s important to note that this home remedy is not a substitute for medical treatment, and it’s important to work with a qualified practitioner to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for hypothyroidism.
