Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. There are many disorders that lead to hypothyroidism. These disorders can directly or indirectly affect the thyroid. Because thyroid hormone affects growth, development, and many cellular processes, insufficient thyroid hormone has widespread consequences for the body.

Thyroid hormones are produced by the thyroid gland. This gland is located in the lower part of the neck below the Adam's apple. The thyroid uses iodine (mostly from dietary sources in foods such as seafood, bread, and salt) to produce thyroid hormones.

The thyroid itself is regulated by another gland located in the brain called the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, in turn, is partially regulated by the thyroid and another gland called the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus releases a hormone called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which sends a signal to the pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). In return, TSH sends a signal to the thyroid to release thyroid hormones. If a disorder occurs at any of these levels, a defect in thyroid hormone production can lead to thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism).

A decrease in thyroid function leads to a decrease in energy expenditure and, as a result, more energy is available for storage. Weight gain is therefore typical of an underactive thyroid. There are also many other causes of weight gain. The safest approach is lifestyle changes that result in decreased calorie intake through changing eating habits and increased calorie expenditure through increased exercise.

Many of the endocrine glands are actually located in the Aries and Libra body parts. Discomfort associated with these signs can unbalance the endocrine system. Additionally, each of the endocrine glands and the hormone they produce is ruled by a specific planet. The hormones are located under the ruling ship of Mercury. The pituitary gland is located in the center of our brain. The pituitary gland consists of two parts. The front or front part is ruled by Capricorn. The posterior or posterior part is ruled by Cancer. Moon indirectly refers to the endocrine system, but specifically hypothalamus. When the moon is weak, it affects the hypothalamus in the brain. The para-thyroid is ruled by Mercury. The pituitary gland is ruled by Jupiter.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and represents the head and brain. Lagna also needs to be taken into account. Mars, the lord of Aries, rules the head and all diseases affecting the head and brain. The sun governs the vital fluid in the body. So the suffering of Aries and Lagna and their lords and the planets Sun, Mars and their weakness in the chart cause diseases of the brain.

Ailments of Jupiter may indicate problems with arterial blood circulation, diseases caused by excess, obesity, difficulty in assimilating fat, loss of fat in muscles, enlargement of organs and formation of adipose tissue. For a Capricorn Lagna, Venus is the most powerful benefactor. Saturn and Mercury are also benefics. Mars, Jupiter and Moon are evil. The sun is neutral.

Taurus rules the throat, pharynx, palate, larynx and tonsils, lower jaw, ears and occipital region etc. The thyroid is ruled by Sun and Venus. The thyroid is depleted when Venus is affected in the chart. The suffering of the sun will bring laziness and lethargy. Para-thyroid glands are ruled by Mercury.

The pharyngeal plexus, which controls the thyroid and parathyroid glands, needs to be assessed according to Jupiter and Dwadasamsa. The cavernous plexus, which controls the pituitary glands, is judged by the ascendant and Venus.

In the chart, Yoga Karaka Venus in Capricorn is placed in star Shravana which is ruled by Moon, a malefic here. Lagna lord Saturn is in Virgo in the star Chitra which is ruled by Mars, a malefic moon and in conjunction with another malefic moon. Mercury is placed in Sagittarius and in Star Moola, which is ruled and burned by Ketu. Jupiter is in Libra and in the star Swati, which is ruled by Rahu. Sun is also affected by Ketu.

In Bhava chart, Mars is in 8th house, Sun Mercury and Neptune is in 11th house. Jupiter has moved to the 9th house. Here mercury is badly affected. Jupiter, Moon and Venus are also affected here. Jupiter is greatly affected in the Dwadasamsa chart. The afflicted Jupiter has created this problem for the natives with the support of other afflicted planets like Venus, Mercury, Saturn and Sun.
