A 29-year-old female patient presented with deranged thyroid hormone levels and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in November 2018. She took antithyroid medicines for a month. After 1 month, a repeat Thyroid function test showed no improvement, hence she was suggested for Radio iodine therapy, where in the patient was not comfortable starting the therapy. And she consulted a Homeopathy doctor and took medication for 3 months. A thyroid scan done in 2019 revealed hyperplastic goitre of the thyroid gland confirming the biomedical diagnosis as Grave’s disease. She decided to try an alternative treatment and approached Dr G G Gangadharan. The ayurvedic diagnosis was Galaganda. The line of treatment followed was snehapana, abhyanga and virecana to correct the blood circulation and hormonal imbalance. With the initiation of the standalone ayurvedic treatment, the patient got a significant reduction in clinical condition and deranged thyroid levels were brought to normal limits within a time span of 1 year and 2 months. The patient is continuing the medicines and is in remission.
