Thyroid disorders have become increasingly common due to stress, lifestyle changes, and hormonal imbalances. Whether it’s hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), symptoms can affect daily life, causing fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, hair loss, irregular periods, and poor digestion.

While conventional treatments often focus on controlling hormone levels through medication, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach that aims to correct the imbalance at its root rather than simply managing symptoms.

At AM Ayurveda, we offer personalized Ayurvedic treatments for the thyroid in Barcelona, helping clients to regain balance through natural therapies, herbs, diet, and lifestyle modifications.

Understanding Thyroid Disorders Through Ayurveda: In Ayurveda, thyroid dysfunction is closely linked to an imbalance of the Pitta and Kapha doshas, along with a weakening of the digestive fire (Agni). When metabolism slows down or becomes overactive, the entire endocrine system is affected.

• Hypothyroidism is often associated with a Kapha predominance, with symptoms such as weight gain, heaviness, lethargy , and cold intolerance.
• Hyperthyroidism is often associated with an overactive Pitta, which causes heat, anxiety, irritability, and increased appetite .

Ayurveda views the thyroid as part of a broader hormonal and metabolic network, so treatment focuses on healing the whole body.

Ayurvedic approach to thyroid healing

Ayurveda combines detoxification, herbal support, dietary adjustments, and stress management to achieve long-term balance.

1. Herbal remedies

Certain Ayurvedic herbs help support thyroid function naturally:

• Ashwagandha: known to support the thyroid and adrenal glands, especially beneficial for hypothyroidism.
• Guggulu (Kanchanar Guggulu): traditionally used to support metabolism and reduce glandular inflammation.
• Brahmi: promotes mental clarity and reduces anxiety, useful in cases of hyperthyroidism.

These herbs are always prescribed according to the dosha and condition of each person.

2. Panchakarma detox treatments.

For deeper healing, many clients benefit from Panchakarma, the detox therapy characteristic of Ayurveda.

• Virechana (medicinal purging) helps balance Pitta.
• Basti (herbal enemas) favors Vata and metabolism.
• Abhyanga (hot herbal oil massage) improves circulation and calms the nervous system.

Detox therapies help restore metabolism and balance endocrine function.

3. Suitable Ayurvedic diet for the thyroid

Ayurveda places great emphasis on food as medicine.

For hypothyroidism:

• Favor warm, light, and easy-to-digest foods.
• Use spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cumin, and black pepper.
• Avoid heavy foods such as cheese, cold products, and excessive sweets.

For hyperthyroidism:

• Include refreshing foods such as cucumbers, sweet fruits, and leafy green vegetables.
• Reduce your consumption of spicy, fatty, and salty foods.
• Avoid stimulants such as coffee, alcohol, and fried foods.

A balanced digestive system means better hormonal balance.

4. Stress management and lifestyle changes

Stress is one of the main triggers of thyroid disorders. Ayurveda recommends:

• Daily meditation
• Slow and relaxing yoga
• Deep breathing practices (pranayama)
• Adequate rest and a consistent sleep routine

Studies in integrative medicine have shown that stress reduction practices significantly improve hormonal regulation and thyroid health.
