Ayurveda for the thyroid

In Ayurveda for the Thyroid, the renowned Ayurvedic doctor brings together all her knowledge from 30 years of practical experience. She shows how inflammation, malnutrition, environmental toxins and stress first affect the thyroid and then the entire body, including the liver and gallbladder. In easy-to-understand language, she explains to laypeople and doctors alike how Ayurvedic medicine eliminates precisely these causes.

In this book you will find:

• The basics of Ayurveda – everything about the constitutional types (doshas), pulse diagnosis and the Ayurvedic nutritional principles
  

• Dr. Teitelbaum's successful treatment protocols for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
  

• Treatments for common symptoms such as sleep disorders, depression, fatigue, osteoporosis, weight gain and hair loss
  

• Instructions on the targeted use of herbs and spices, such as Ashwagandha or Turmeric, and for detoxification; nutritional recommendations for each dosha with simple recipes
  

• Spectacular patient stories and scientific research results underpin Dr. Teitelbaum's visionary view: Healing the thyroid without medication - that is the way of Ayurveda.

"This excellent work combines ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern knowledge of hormone balance. A practical guide to balancing thyroid function naturally. I highly recommend this book."
