Causes of Hyperthyroidism according to Ayurveda
All of the things that the thyroid gland does that have to do with metabolism come from Pitta. Ayurveda says that kapha, vata, and pitta doshas are to blame for this problem. The thyroid doesn’t function properly because bad digestion leads to blocked channels in the body. People think that the disorder is caused by the “Aggravation of Vata and Pitta doshas.” When Vata and Pitta are out of balance, they overstimulate the metabolic fire, or Agni. This causes too much hunger, intolerance to heat, too much sweating, weight loss, a change in the doshas, and the direct depletion of Ojas, which is essential for tissue metabolism and helps our immune system. In turn, this makes more Ama, which is food waste that hasn’t been digested. The Ama and the unbalanced Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) are then absorbed into the blood, and the Agni (metabolic fire) starts to go out.
When Agni isn’t working right, it moves up to the level of Shukra Dhatu and stops healthy tissues from forming one after the other. This goes on until the structure of Ojas is changed. Once the quality of Ojas is off, the messed-up Vata and Pitta, along with Ama, block the body’s channels. This makes the immune system go wrong, which makes it attack the thyroid gland and turn into a full-fledged autoimmune condition.
