Primary hypothyroidism is defined as low levels of blood thyroid hormone due to destruction of the thyroid gland. Based on the signs and symptoms in Ayurvedic classics, Hypothyroidism can be described as kapha-medo vridhi and dhātvāgnimāndhya and considered as a condition called galaganda. Ayurveda stresses the importance of prakriti as a prognostic factor in the management of diseases. With due consideration, this study is intended to evaluate the effect of three commonly used indigenous formulations viz., Hamsapathyadikashaya, Kanchanaraguggulu and Bhallatakalehya in primary hypothyroidism when administered with respect to dehaprakriti of the individuals.
