November 29, 2022 Treating Thyroid Issues with Ayurveda Contact Us +65 6398 0415 admin@ayurvedasg.com Recent Articles Thyroid issues are very common, and many suffer from thyroid disorders. A woman is five to eight times more likely to have a thyroid condition than a man, says Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Director and Principal Consultant of Ayush Ayurveda, Singapore. A thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland that on the neck’s front. The thyroid is just below Adam’s apple, along the front side of the windpipe. Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor at Ayush Singapore, says that any irregularity in the thyroid can result in hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter, Graves’ disease, and thyroid cancer, among others. He adds, “Thyroid has an important role in the endocrine system. Its primary function is to manage metabolism by producing and releasing metabolic hormones. The thyroid is a very sensitive endocrine gland, and it reacts to stress very fast, thus hindering thyroid hormone production.” Hypothyroidism Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor at Ayush Singapore, says hypothyroidism is characterized by sudden weight gain. “The body’s immune system may weaken, and the patient may have swelling and cramping in the feet. Constipation, swelling of the face and eye, rough and dry skin, and inconsistent menstrual cycle, and rough and dry skin are also common in hypothyroidism. In many, it can even lead to depression,” explains Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor, Ayush Singapore. Hyperthyroidism Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor, Ayush Singapore, says, “We have observed that hyperthyroidism is very common in women in their 20s. Increased appetite, weight loss, excess sweating, muscle weakness, increased heartbeat, and sleep loss are common symptoms of hyperthyroidism.” Thyroid treatment in Ayurveda As per Ayurveda, the thyroid imbalance is when the body’s Ojas is depleted. “Some early signs of thyroid issues are chronic fatigue, tiredness, and a weak immune system. Hence, early detection of thyroid can reduce the risk as Ayurveda can easily treat it, says Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor, Ayush Singapore. “At Ayush Ayurveda, Singapore, we don’t prescribe one single medicine for a dosha to all patients. The treatment is customized and focused on removing the root cause of the illness. Since the Vata dosha in the body causes thyroid issues, we advise patients to have a diet that doesn’t increase the Vata dosha in the body,” says Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor, Ayush Singapore. Thyroid diet In Ayurveda, the diet has a major role. “We recommend fiber-rich foods like spinach, beans, legumes, and bananas. Also, it’s important to consume food at regular intervals. We advise going for small quantities instead of having a heavy meal. Jalkumbhi and drumstick improve iodine levels in the body, and Dhaniya (coriander) and Jeerak Siddha Jala are good for recovery from swelling. Ginger is also good for the thyroid. One can boil ginger in water and drink it like tea,” says Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor, Ayush Singapore. He adds, “In thyroid issues, it is recommended to avoid raw vegetables, particularly cauliflower, kale, and broccoli. We advise people to avoid all forms of processed sugar. A fruit a day, especially bananas, is very good.” A lack of vitamin D can aggravate thyroid problems. “Early morning sun exposure is a good way to address the deficiency. Regular outdoor exercise helps stimulate thyroid glands and improve immunity,” says Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor, Ayush Singapore. “We at Ayush Ayurveda, Singapore, often prescribe Trikatu, Shilajit, Triphala, Shankapushpi, and other herbs. Panchakarma (body massage and detoxification), Nasya, Dhara, and Shirodhara are also prescribed for certain thyroid disorders. However, it’s important that one consult an Ayurveda doctor before starting any Ayurvedic medication,” says Dr. V.C. Ajith Kumar, Ayurveda Doctor, Ayush Singapore. About the Doctor V.C.

Leucorrhoea Management The Ayurvedic Singapore Way
October 26, 2022 Leucorrhoea Management The Ayurvedic Singapore Way Contact Us +65 6398 0415 admin@ayurvedasg.com Recent Articles Leucorrhoea is a condition among females where a greenish, yellowish, or white fluid discharges from vaginas. According to the expert at Ayurveda Singapore, this discharge, possibly a sign of an infection, originates from the vagina, ovaries, cervix, or fallopian tubes. If this condition is a sign of infection, the likely symptoms include greenish or yellowish discharge from the vagina, with odor. In this case, the expert at Ayurveda Singapore says that the patient experiences itching, irritation in the vaginal area, abdominal pain, or even tissue inflammation. If it is not a sign of infection, leucorrhoea is experienced during menstruation or during pregnancy. In a few rare patients, abnormal leucorrhoea is also reported due to infections caused by bacteria, yeast, or micro-organisms. Leucorrhoea can also be caused due to sexual intercourse with those having viral or bacterial infections such as gonorrhea or chlamydia. The expert at Ayurveda Singapore says that it is normal for the body to produce a small amount of fluid that comes through the vagina. During the middle of your menstrual cycle or ovulation, the discharge turns out to be thinner and stretchy, like the whites of an egg. As per the expert at Ayurveda Singapore, leucorrhoea can be physiological and pathological. The physiological aspect is that this condition occurs naturally due to the secretion of the vagina,, mostly during hormonal changes among young girls. This condition is usually seen in women who are sexually aroused or at the time of early stages of pregnancy. It is also a sign of puberty in girls. The expert at Ayurveda Singapore continues, “The pathological aspect happens due to underlying condition, and the vaginal discharge will be of different colors such as greenish or yellowish. The fluid emanates a foul smell and needs medical attention to prevent the infection from spreading. The associated conditions include cervicitis candida and trichomonas vaginitis, adds the expert at Ayurveda Singapore. Lower back pain is the key symptom of cervicitis, accompanied by cervical irritation. It can be due to sexually transmitted diseases or an allergy to intrauterine devices used for contraception/ any other type of contraception. Candida or vaginal yeast, which is also called candidiasis, is frequent among diabetic women, in addition to those patients who use antibiotics or contraceptive pills. Also, changes in vaginal pH are associated with the relevant component. This can also be caused by improper hygiene. The expert at Ayurveda Singapore explains, “Trichomonas vaginitis or trichomoniasis is characterized by a frothy yellow discharge with an itchy feeling. The main reasons are due to sexually transmitted diseases and unhygienic conditions. The affected will expereince symptoms for three to twenty-eight days following the infection.” Explaining the condition in Ayurvedic Parlance, the expert at Ayurvedic Singapore says the terminology used for leucorrhoea is ‘Shweta Pradara.’ This condition is caused due to the imbalance in Kapha dosha, which impairs Rasa Dhatu, or Nutrient Plasma in Allopathic terms present in the vaginal tracts. This leads to a painless whitish discharge from the vagina, says the expert at Ayurveda Singapore. Thanks to the vitiation of Kapha dosha and suppression of urges of vomiting and breathing, Vayu also gets aggravated. Eventually, this will take Kapha to lodge in sites of Apanvarta in the hips, bladder, thighs, and vagina. Management of the condition According to the Ayurveda Singapore expert, purification therapies such as nabhivarti, nabhilepan, yonidhavan, to alleviate the condition of leucorrhoea dhupana and pichu are recommended. “What happens is that this targets the vitiated doshas in the vaginal area and helps to clear out the impact of aggravated Kapha dosha. Furthermore, Ayurveda also recommends the intake of medications such as ashokarishta, chandanasava, pushyanuga churna, bola parpati, and more, which would eventually help establish a balance between doshas. The line of treatment for leucorrhoea is completely natural,” says the expert at Ayurveda Singapore.
