Hypothyroidism

The thyroid hormones modulate our metabolism; metabolism being the process of using energy for the various activities of our body. Hypothyroidism which leads to a lowered level of thyroid hormones is thus said to lower the metabolism.

Besides iodine deficiency which can be corrected by the right supplements, hypothyroidism is also seen to be associated with states of low moods or demotivation and often clinical depression too. Clinical evidence shows that rather than focusing on the thyroid levels, it is possible to correct the T3, T4, as also the TSH levels by correcting the depression and demotivation states. These patients are also often seen to have a submissive and suppressive behaviour.

Counselling sessions along with the proper yoga practices will help the patient first improve their self-confidence, leading to a better self-expression and a resolution of the low mood states (or their clinical depression), finally leading to correction in the thyroid and TSH hormone levels.
