Hair comes in many different lengths, styles, colors, textures. Everyone falls prey to at least one hair problem at some point in life no matter the type of hair you have like grey hair, hair fall, dryness, baldness, dandruff etc.According to Ayurveda there are three biological elements present in our body they are vata, pitta and kapha which should be in balance. For healthy hair and scalp balance of these three elements is necessary.&nbsp;In Ayurveda, the hair is a byproduct of the bone tissue. Strength of agni (the digestive fire) determines the quality of nourishment received by organs and tissues throughout the body, including the hair. If the digestive system is weak&nbsp; or deranged, it will result in impaired digestive products with accumulation of toxins in the body leading to imbalance of three elements.&nbsp;The health of the hair begins with the food we eat, and depends deeply on our digestive strength as does the health of every other tissue and system.&nbsp;

Do’s<ul><li>Include non-iodised salt&nbsp;- excess of iodine can worsen hyperthyroidism. &nbsp;Also include foods low in iodine like oats, unfortified cereals and drinks</li><li>Include cruciferous vegetables - help to reduce the amount of hormones produced by the thyroid gland. &nbsp;Cruciferous foods include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale etc</li><li>Include Calcium and Vitamin D rich food&nbsp;- hyperthyroid interferes with calcium absorption eventually leading to osteoporosis. &nbsp;Include food rich in calcium like dairy products, dark green leafy vegetables, unsalted nuts, salmon, fatty fish, fortified cereals</li><li>Zinc and selenium&nbsp;- are required for good immune system and maintain healthy thyroid. &nbsp;Available from foods such as cocoa powder, pumpkin seeds, dry fruits, mushrooms, chickpeas, beef, tea and so on.</li><li>Omega 3-fatty acids&nbsp;- help to reduce inflammation and balance the thyroid hormones e.g. olive oil, flax seeds</li><li>High protein diet&nbsp;- since weight loss is a common symptom in hyperthyroid, eat enough proteins to maintain the muscle mass and weight. &nbsp;Include dairy, nuts, pulses and whole grain cereals and millets.</li><li>Exercise regularly&nbsp;- help in maintaining bone density, muscle mass and cardiovascular health.</li><li>Yoga and meditation&nbsp;- help in relieving stress which has been a contributing factor in the Grave’s disease.</li></ul>Don’ts<ul><li>Include supplements which are rich in iodine, read the labels before purchasing any ready to eat foods.</li><li>Include medications and cough syrup with iodine</li><li>Nitrates cause the thyroid gland to absorb more iodine. &nbsp;Some foods have naturally occurring nitrates like processed meats, turnips, fennel, leeks, beets, dill, pumpkin. &nbsp;Restrict the use of these foods.</li><li>Avoid smoking</li></ul>

<ul><li>Thyroid nodules: are abnormal overgrowth of tissue in the thyroid gland that are most often benign—but may be cancerous in some people. &nbsp;The tissue in the nodule makes too much of T3 and T4 hormones leading to overactive thyroid.</li><li>Thyroiditis: is inflammation of your thyroid that causes stored thyroid hormone to leak out of your thyroid gland. The hyperthyroidism may last for up to 3 months, after which your thyroid may become under active leading to hypothyroidism.</li><li>Excess iodine&nbsp;intake can lead to overactive thyroid. &nbsp;Excess iodine can be through high intake of seaweed supplements, some medicines or cough syrup that has high amount of iodine.</li><li>Excess thyroid hormone medication:&nbsp;if you are taking medication on a regular basis then it needs to be checked periodically at least once in a year to regulate the dosage. &nbsp;Excess can lead to hyperthyroidism.</li><li>Grave’s disease:&nbsp;It is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid. With this disease, your immune system attacks the thyroid and causes it to make more thyroid hormone than your body needs.</li></ul><h4>Risk Factors</h4><ul><li>Women are more prone than men to develop hyperthyroidism</li><li>If you have a family history of thyroid disease</li><li>If you are older than 60 years</li><li>If you have other health problems like pernicious anemia (Vit B12 deficiency) or type 1 diabetes.</li><li>Primary adrenal insufficiency, a hormonal disorder also called addison's diease.

According to a projection from various studies on thyroid disease, it has been estimated that about 42 million people in India suffer from thyroid diseases.<h4>A bit about our thyroid gland</h4><figure class="image image-style-align-left"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/91gGVGeixhEXwSAhRcEUdE2w9nozxALWaLPsxu9zZqyJmULSQ6FszwYM_8wc-sMavScmu4mePg3W6j9rX0sJWoZ8fYhde2iDDtOzcJZR0l7NleoGLnPHm3QAb3Oymxp-klFWsEy9"></figure><ol><li>Thyroid gland, being a part of the endocrine system, is the only gland that absorbs iodine from food that we eat and uses it to make two hormones (T3 and T4).</li><li>The crucial function of &nbsp;T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine) is to break down calories, produce energy and boosts metabolism when released into the bloodstream.</li><li>And it is important, two of the above shouldn’t be either too low or either too high.Above all, two glands in our brain -the hypothalamus and pituitary&nbsp;works a major role in maintaining the balance of T3 and T4.</li><li>The hypothalamus produces TSH Releasing Hormone (TRH) that signals the pituitary to tell the thyroid gland to produce more or less of T3 and T4 by either increasing or decreasing the release of a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).</li></ol>

With the increase in the incidence of thyroid related problems, there is a need to find out the root cause of thyroid issues, address them at an early stage with proper lifestyle management and complimentary ayurvedic treatment options. By taking the right preventive/corrective measures it is possible to prevent the disease or manage it effectively.

Treating the gland so that it starts making its own hormones and regulating them&nbsp;Exercise - Bhramari Pranayama helps in stimulating the thyroid gland.<figure class="image"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/fcEn1D_MbNG18ClqYaDm0D98WyrK93ebTyY2rxTSlDVWIzf4CpI3v6Vnf_05cwpt64mzwtdLzlSBn7s-rm-mSb1FR24FWVNx_tYPxzKneRVVrg5KcxUxY8txEh662jdm74kHAsZq"><figcaption>How to perform Bhramari Pranayama</figcaption></figure>

Untreated hyperthyroid can lead to a condition called thyroid storm. During thyroid storm, an individual's heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature can soar to dangerously high levels. Treatment options - depends on the cause and the severity of the disease<ul><li>Anti-thyroid medications</li></ul>These medications gradually reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism by preventing your thyroid gland from producing excess amounts of hormones.<ul><li>Radio iodine therapy</li></ul>In radio iodine therapy, you take radioactive iodine-131 by mouth as a capsule or liquid. The radioactive iodine slowly destroys the cells of the thyroid gland that produce thyroid hormone without affecting other body tissues<ul><li>Thyroid surgery</li></ul>Only used to treat people with large goiters or pregnant women who cannot take anti thyroid medicines.<ul><li>Diet and lifestyle management</li></ul>

Diagnosis is done using:Medical history and physical examination - Based on the symptoms and on the physical examination of pulse or tremors in handBlood testsBlood tests to measure the levels of thyroxine and TSH. &nbsp;If the TSH is low or non-existent and there are high levels of thyroxine, it indicates an overactive thyroid. &nbsp;The tests are important in the cases where there are no classic signs or symptoms seen.Radio iodine uptake testFor this test, you take a small, oral dose of radioactive iodine (radio iodine) to see how much will collect in your thyroid gland. A high uptake of radio iodine indicates your thyroid gland is producing too much thyroxine. The most likely cause is either Graves' disease or hyper functioning thyroid nodules.&nbsp;If you have hyperthyroidism and your radio iodine uptake is low, this indicates that the thyroxine stored in the gland is leaking into the bloodstream, which may mean you have thyroiditis.Thyroid scanDuring this test, you'll have a radioactive isotope injected into the vein on the inside of your elbow or sometimes into a vein in your hand and observe the image of your thyroid gland on a computer screen. This test shows how iodine collects in your thyroid.Thyroid ultrasoundThis test uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the thyroid. Ultrasound may be better at detecting thyroid nodules than other tests, and there's no exposure to any radiation.

Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can vary from person to person and may include:<ul><li>nervousness or irritability</li><li>fatigue or muscle weakness</li><li>trouble tolerating heat</li><li>trouble sleeping</li><li>shaky hands</li><li>rapid and irregular heartbeat</li><li>frequent bowel movements or diarrhoea</li><li>weight loss</li><li>mood swings</li><li>Sensitivity to heat</li><li>Changes in menstrual cycle</li><li>Goitre (enlarged thyroid gland)</li></ul>Grave’s disease, a common form of hyperthyroidism can affect eyes and vision leading to :<ul><li>Bulging of the eyes</li><li>Sensitivity to light</li><li>Double vision</li><li>Pain or pressure in the eyes</li><li>Redness or inflammation in and around the eyes</li></ul>

<ul><li>Trouble getting an erection.</li><li>Trouble keeping an erection.</li><li>Reduced sexual desire.</li></ul>According to Ayurveda, there are three doshas or elements present in our body: vata, pitta and kapha which should be in balance. The ejaculatory function depends on the apana vayu, one of the five types of vayu is located in the testicles. When a man has desire (ichcha) to have sex, arousal intensifies actions of vayu and at this moment highly active vayu liberates the teja or heat of pitta. Thus tejas and vayu increase body temperature, heart beat and blood flow causing erection. When there is vitiation in any of the dosha it will lead to Klaibya (Erectile dysfunction).

If the problem persists then consider the following treatment protocol.<ul><li>Trouble getting or keeping erection and Reduced sexual desire - Erection is the result of increased blood flow through the penile arteries, filling two chambers inside the penis. As the chambers fill with blood, the penis grows rigid. Any alteration in the process due the causative factor may result in erection problems. Rasona , Ashwagandha, Kapikacchu, Gokshura , Musali,&nbsp; Shivalingi beej, Shilajit, Shatavari&nbsp; and Yasthimadhu are adaptogenic which balances testosterone, increases blood circulation and is rich in antioxidants.

A fungal infection, also called mycosis, is a skin disease caused by a fungus.There are millions of species of fungi. They live in the dirt, on plants, on household surfaces, and on your skin. Moist, warm skin provides the ideal environment for fungi that cause skin infections to flourish. Areas that have a tendency to trap moisture are particularly welcoming to fungi; these include in between the toes, in the genital area, and underneath the breasts.&nbsp;

Aggravated kapha and vata doshas along with ama spread all over the body and accumulate in the body’s external surface (beneath the skin). The skin loses its normal resistance and becomes susceptible to fungal infection.

Vitiligo&nbsp;is a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells (melanocytes), also known as Leucoderma. This can result in discolored patches in different areas of the body, including the skin, hair and mucous membranes. Most people who have vitiligo will develop the condition before age 40, about half develop it before age 20.

Melasma is a condition where imbalanced Pitta along with Vata vitiate the blood and produce blackish patches on the face which is called Vyanga.

Melasma (chloasma faciei) are dark discoloured patches on the face. It can affect anyone, particularly common in women, especially pregnant women and those who are taking oral or patch contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medications. It is known as ‘the mask of pregnancy’ when it occurs in pregnant women.

Skin allergies&nbsp;are an overreaction of the body's immune system to specific substances that it misidentifies as harmful. This overreaction of the body's immune system is known as an allergic reaction and the substances that cause it are called allergens. Allergic reactions are commonly seen in skin resulting in a red, itchy rash&nbsp;in which the substance comes in contact with the skin.

Skin is the largest organ in the body. The skin protects us from ultraviolet light, chemical and infective organisms in the atmosphere. And regulates body temperature, gathers sensory inputs from the environment, stores water, fat, and vitamin D, and plays an important role in our immune system, protecting us from the disease.Ayurveda explains twak as one among the 5 gyanendriya, attributed with the function of sensation of touch and is the location (ashray sthana) of sweat channels (swedavaha strotas) and hairs (loma).According to Ayurveda there are three elements in the body: vata, pitta and kapha which affect the body functions when imbalanced. In skin diseases, all the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) are involved either solely or in combination vitiating them to the tissues (Dhatus) level; Rasa (plasma), Rakta (blood), Lasika (lymph) and Mamsa (muscle). As the disease progresses more tissues (Dhatus) may get involved.

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is any bleeding from the vagina that varies from a woman's normal menstrual cycle. The normal cycle is triggered by signals from hormones. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding occurs when the cycle's hormonal signals get thrown off. It occurs in the absence of recognizable pelvic pathology, general medical disease, or pregnancy.

If you notice any of these things, call your doctor. Bleeding in between periods or after sex also can be a sign of DUB. If your period stops for more than 3 months, ask your doctor about that, too. If you're not bleeding, the lining of the uterus can keep building up.

Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, most commonly in ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely, endometrial tissue may spread beyond pelvic organs. It may result in scar tissue, adhesion or presence of endometrioma (chocolate cyst).

PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal disorder which is very common among women of reproductive age. It is characterised by the increase in the male hormones, androgen and enlarged ovaries with multiple cysts (hence the name polycystic). It is also one of the main causes for infertility.

The exact cause of PCOS is not well understood. Factors that might play a role includes:<ul><li>Hereditary</li><li>Excess androgen</li><li>Inflammation/Infection</li><li>Excess insulin</li></ul>Ayurveda believes that PCOS are caused mainly due to imbalance among the Tridosha; Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These three dosha should be in balance to be healthy and disease free. The causative factors are:&nbsp;<ul><li>Sedentary lifestyle</li><li>Excessive intake of unctuous food.</li><li>Obesity</li><li>Lack of proper sleep</li><li>Lack of exercise</li><li>Stress</li><li>Not taking adequate physical and mental rest during periods.</li></ul>All these lead to accumulations of toxins (ama) in the body, vitiating vata and kapha subsequently cause obstruction in the reproductive channels, developing small numerous collections of fluids (cyst).
