ABSTRACT
Hypothyroidism is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by insufficient production of thyroid hormones, that leads to wide range of systemic imbalances. In Ayurveda, the condition can be analyzed through Dhatwagni, known as the metabolic fire of individual tissues. In hypothyroidism less production of thyroid hormones causes decreased tissue metabolism that further contributes to decreased ATP synthesis, protein synthesis, and also disturbs carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. This decreased metabolism occurring in hypothyroidism is somehow similar to the concept of Dhatavagnimandya mainly Rasa dhatu and Medo dhatu. This article explores the correlation between Dhatwagni and hypothyroidism, that focuses on how the dysfunction of tissue-specific Agnis (metabolic fires) contributes to disease.
