A REVIEW STUDY OF HYPERTHYROIDISM AND MEDOAGNI VRIDDHI SPECIAL REFERENCE OF HYPER-SECRETION OF THYROXINE

Dr. Edal Singh Gurjar* and Dr. Sandhya Singh

ABSTRACT

According to Ayurveda hyperthyroidism can be linked to Medoagni Vriddhi, which is an increase in the metabolic fire's activity that transforms Meda Dhatu. Over stimulating Medoagni causes fat deposits to be broken down and used up quickly, which is similar to the catabolic state that occurs in hyperthyroidism. This explains the condition's common symptoms of emaciation, restlessness and profuse perspiration. Thus, the rapid metabolic state that characterizes hyperthyroidism is reflected by both thyroxine hyper secretion and Medoagni Vriddhi. Ayurveda compares the symptoms and indicators of thyroid disorders to those of many other illnesses, including Bhasmaka, Galganda and Ati Karshya, etc. T4 travels throughout the body in the bloodstream and regulates vital bodily functions. An excessively high metabolic rate can result from hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid that produces more thyroid hormones than the body needs. This article reviewed hyperthyroidism and Medoagni Vriddhi with special reference to hyper secretion of thyroxine.
