Thyroid causes, symptoms, and treatment

All the diseases that occur in the human body are due to Vata, pitta, or Kapha dosha. If Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are eaten in balance by controlling food and lifestyle, then the human body can be kept free from diseases. When Vata and Kapha dosha occurs in the human body, a disease called thyroid arises. By balancing Vata and Kapha, a disease called thyroid can be cured of the root. Thyroid problems are more common in women and the elderly than men.

The thyroid gland is found in the human body in the front of the neck below the larynx, which is shaped like a butterfly. The thyroid gland is a very important gland of the human body, which secretes hormones called tri-iodothyronine (T-3) and thyroxine (T-4) which control all the activities of the human body. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test (T.S.H.Test) controls the hormones tri-iodothyronine (T-3) and thyroxine (T-4) secreted by the thyroid gland.

The thyroid gland controls the amount of cholesterol, sugar, and phospholipids in the blood and the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, and heart rate, and blood pressure. It also controls bones, muscles, and sexual growth.
