Introduction
Luxury lifestyle give pleasure to body. At the same time this pleasure disturbs doshas and ultimate disturb mind and body too. This luxury life give rise to many lifestyle disorders. Thyroid, hypertension, diabetes some examples of lifestyle disorder. In society number of cases of thyroid increases day by days. There are 3.8-6% general population affected with hypothyroidism [1]. Thyroid dysfunction is two types i.e over activity and under activity. In Hypothyroidism thyroid gland does not produced enough thyroid hormone [2]. Hypothyroidism can be described as underactive thyroid. Infertility, weight problems, depression and chronic tiredness the most frequent complications of hypothyroidism [3]. Ayurvedic Samhita has description of swelling of the thyroid gland called as Galganda which symptoms is like hyperthyroidism [4]. There is not a direct description of hypothyroidism found in samhitas. There are many diseases which is not mentioned directly in Ayurveda texts is called as Anukta vicar [5]. Subclinical hypo-thyroid is one of such disease. Though there is lack of direct description of such disease, but its line of treatment described very well. There is description in Ashtanag hrudaya that, if we don't know name of the disease than Vaidya should treat the patient with examination of prakruti, adhistahna, bheda, hetu [6]. According to Ayurveda Hypothyroidism can be consider as Anukta vikara and discussed as vata-kafaj dushti-janya vhadhi. Modern science is very well developed with advanced techniques for disease, diagnosis and treatment, but still no easy solution to treat lifestyle disease. Current available medicines are even not capable to give relief on such diseases. While Ayurveda has solution on direct describe and indirect (Anukta vikar) described diseases too.
