What Does This Thyroid Test Report Indicate?
4-12-2014: TSH = 0.08, FT4 = 1.15, FT3 = 3.2, she continued thyronorm 100 mcg daily dose
15-04-2015 : TSH 0.45 , continued with Thyronorm 100 mcg
9-Feb-2016: TSH =1.58 , FT4=1.29, FT3 = 2.18
She is currently on Thyronorm 100 mcg tablet. Is there any treatment on Ayurveda which can remove or reduce dependence on allopathy medicine?
Thanks,

Detailed Answer:
Dear
thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and after reviewing the case history I'm of the following opinion:
1. As there is no alternative to hormone in any -pathy [allopathy/ ayurveda/ homeopathy/unani/siddha] i.e. why she has been prescribed a HORMONE preparation [so one has to continue with it] no substitute.
2. FT3 dated 9th Feb'2016 is on higher side [here we have value of same between 0.60-1.81] so make sure to check with the range, and if same then dose has to be reduced. [do let me know]
3. I usually adopt the following line of treatment in hypothyroidism:
i. If there is an Endocrinological problem [seek an Endocrinologist Opinion] since dose is same for the last 3 years.
ii. Diet:

Avoid: linseed oil,groundnut,walnut XXXXXXX turnip,mustard,cauliflower,peaches, coffee, spinach, cabbage,soybean,canola oil,radish,sweet potato,white bread, white flour,junk food,pears,millet
iii. Drink 1 cup maiden hair leaves juice [ लज्जालु ] for 1 month.
iv. Take: kanchnaar gugullu and/or punarnvadi gugullu: 2 tablets twice daily
