Silent Women at Higher Thyroid Risk? Doctor Warns on Emotional Stress Link

• Dr. Mahi Chauhan (Homeopathy) from Nashik highlights that thyroid issues are common in women, not just due to hormones but also suppressed emotions.
• Women often suppress their feelings for family or relationships, which adversely affects the thyroid gland located near the throat.
• Inability to express oneself leads to constant stress, increasing cortisol levels, which can cause the thyroid gland to become sluggish (Hypo) or overactive (Hyper).
• Symptoms like sudden weight gain, extreme fatigue, mood swings, and hair loss can signal emotional stress impacting thyroid function.
• Self-healing tips include open communication, pursuing hobbies, practicing yoga/meditation (Ujjayi Pranayama, Bhramari), and seeking professional help.

Why It Matters: Suppressed emotions and emotional stress in women can significantly contribute to thyroid problems, beyond just hormonal factors.
