"The Impact of Restricted Meal Frequency (Dwikalik bhojan) with Kanchanar Guggulu and Punarnavadi kashayam in Primary Hypothyroidism: A Randomized Clinical Trial"

Sruthi Madugula, Shivakumar S Harti.


Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: Ayurveda effectively addresses hypothyroidism by targeting disruptions in Dhatwagni and Kapha-pradhana Tridosha. This study compares the impact of Restricted Meal Frequency (Dwikalik Bhojan) combined with Kanchanar Guggulu and Punarnavadi Kashayam on symptom relief and improvement in the Thyroid profile.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Restricted meal frequency twice a day on the Thyroid profile.
Methodology: Individuals aged 20-40 with Primary Hypothyroidism participated in a randomized, unbiased trial at the All India Institute of Ayurveda. Both groups received Kanchanar Guggulu and Punarnavadi Kashayam for 60 days. The study group practiced Restricted Meal Frequency. Adherence was tracked using a Compliance chart, and participants with at least 80% adherence to the diet were included in the analysis.
Results: Significant improvements in TSH and BMI parameters were observed in both groups. Symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as weakness and fatigue, showed significant improvement in both groups with no statistical difference between them.
Conclusion: The study demonstrates that Kanchanar Guggulu and Punarnavadi Kashayam are equally effective in reducing hypothyroidism symptoms, with a slight advantage for the group practicing Restricted Meal Frequency.
