The most common functional disorder of the thyroid gland is Hypothyrodism and is commonly seen in clinical practice. The prevalence of hypothyroidism in India is 11%, compared with only 2%–4.6% in the Western population. In classics there is no direct reference for the disease Hypothyrodism, in such situation acharyas have suggested that treat the condition on the basis of dosha and dushya. The current practice of recognition of hypothyroidism with one or two conditions like bahudoshavastha, santarpanjanya vyadhi or kaphaj shotha would not clear the mix up situation because the clinical features related to hypothyroidism have the broad ranging signs and symptoms. Hence here an attempt was made to check the TSH value before and after the Vaman karma, which was significantly reduced from, more than 100 to 71.23 U/ml.
