Abstract: Introduction: Hypothyroidism is one of the most widespread endocrine disorders in most patients with daily OPD. In Ayurveda, it often has to do with the actions of "AGNI". Material and Method: A 30-year-old female patient has been experiencing weakness, dizziness, decreased sleep, head weight, dry skin, hair loss, and constipation for the past three years, and over the past two to three months, all symptoms have become more severe. The patient has used levothyroxine for two years to normalise their thyroid profile. We administered her 50 ml Kanchnar twak kwath with 1 gm Shunthi churna and Nimb tail nasya 2 drops in each nostril for 15 days and 2 follow-up at 15 days intervals after 1.5 months of levothyroxine washout. Repeat the thyroid profile in 1.5 months. Most of the patient's illness symptoms were relieved by Ayurvedic treatment, and her TSH level dropped from 18.65 to 6.92. Observation and Result: The patient's symptoms significantly improved. Following treatment, weakness diminished, fainting was gone, and hair loss was stopped. The patient could do her task without trouble by employing Nimb tail nasya and Kanchnar twak kwath with Shunthi churna. Discussion and Conclusion: Kanchnar: It is kashaya in the rasa, laghu ruksha in the guna, Kapha-Pitta shamaka, and gandamalanaashan in the prabhava. Shunthi has qualities such as katu rasa, laghu snigdh guna and Kapha Vata shaamak. Nasya karma is a distinctive panchakarma procedure in which the medication is injected into the nose and travels up to the shringataka, spreading throughout the entire head interior.
