Hi

Does anyone know anything about Ayurveda and how it could help with hypothyroidism?

Thanks

I don't have any knowledge but maybe this link will be informative:

Hey, I can’t really tell you medical side but that link posted by Shaws is helpful. I can however say that I have taken a supplement containing ashwaghanda for a while and I believe it does help with my own stress management, but I don’t think it’s had any effect on my hypothyroidism that I can tell. However, I don’t think anybody really knows. I have temporarily stopped it due to tests coming up but I do notice a difference in my anxiety levels and sleep when I take it. Don’t quote me though, I think everyone is different and what works for some may not work for others. It’s also a good idea to check for any contraindications and make sure it’s safe for you personally and your current medications.

I second that. I take it with rhodiola and the combo is very good for stress, sleep etc.
