Abstract

One of the most prevalent endocrine illnesses observed now in the globe is thyroid disease. When the thyroid gland's ability to create adequate thyroid hormone is compromised by structural or functional issues that severely reduce its hormone output, hypothyroidism develops, which causes a hypometabolic condition. An estimated 3.8 to 4.6% of the general population would be affected. Primary hypothyroidism affects 1 in 100 people, although this number rises to 5 in 100. The male to female ratio is around 6:1. The thyroid is not specifically mentioned in the Ayurvedic texts, however Galganda and Gandmala are frequently utilised. According to Charaka, a single swollen on the Parshava of the neck is referred to as Galganda while many Granthi around the neck are referred to as Gandmala. Thus, hypothyroidism and Galganda and Gandmala might be connected. According to Charaka, a single swollen on the Parshava of the neck is referred to as Galganda while many Granthi around the neck are referred to as Gandmala. Thus, hypothyroidism and Galganda and Gandmala may be connected.
