Abstract

The most prevalent endocrine disorders in the world are thyroid issues. TSH is the most practical physiological indicator of thyroid gland function and is crucial in regulating the thyroid axis. One major factor contributing to the rise in endocrine disorders, including thyroid disorders, may be a sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits. Numerous Kaphaja Nanatmaja Vikaras are thought to be signs of hypothyroidism. Multiple systems are affected by the clinico-pathological condition known as hypothyroidism, which necessitates multimodal treatment. Shamana Chikitsa implemented the treatment plan in order to combat the pathophysiology. Even after two months, the patient's symptoms had completely disappeared. Laboratory tests were conducted during routine follow-ups and subsequent treatments.
