Understanding The Thyroid:
An Ayurvedic Perspective on this Vital Hormone Gland
VASANT LAD WEBINAR
Understanding the Thyroid- An Ayurvedic Perspective on this Vital Hormone Gland
Take a deep dive into the thyroid gland and its vital physical and energetic importance with world-renowned Ayurvedic Physician and teacher Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc.
The thyroid is an endocrine gland we’ve heard a lot more about in recent years, particularly in relation to concerns like hypo or hyperthyroidism and auto-immune disorders. Why has there been such an increase in concerns like these? And are there any mental/emotional/psychological factors impacting thyroid health?
We will explore the function of the thyroid as the metabolic powerhouse for all of the tissues of the body as well as the main site of vishuddha chakra - the energy of the throat. We will learn how the thyroid or throat chakra imbalances may manifest, physically and emotionally, and the Ayurvedic approach.
You will leave this webinar with a strong understanding of why the thyroid is so important as well as Ayurvedic and Yogic practices you can do to support normal jatru function and health.
Topics we will cover in this webinar
Join Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc as he explains the role of the thyroid from an Ayurvedic perspective, metabolically as well as emotionally and physically
What we will explore together:
- The thyroid gland as a source of agni (transformative fire) for the whole body and the seven tissue layers or dhatus
- The role of the thyroid or jatru agni as the bridge between the bhuta agnis, the five elemental fires of the liver, and the dhatu agnis, the fires of the seven tissues of the body
- The thyroid’s connection to our subtle body through the fifth chakra, vishuddha, and how our emotions and thoughts impact the thyroid gland
- How challenges with self-expression and communication as well as emotions of guilt or feeling suppressed relate to jatru and vishuddha chakra
- Common pathologies of the thyroid and how Ayurveda can support through diet, lifestyle, and herbs
Vasant Lad regularly pauses during the webinar, offering the opportunity to ask questions. All our webinars include ample time at the end for a Q&A.

Dynamically Connected
Ayurvedically, there is a fundamental connection between the thyroid gland, the liver, and the health of the tissues of the body. The thyroid, like every other gland and organ, exists in a dynamic relationship with the other systems of the body. It is sensitive to the phases of our lives, our diet, lifestyle, and emotional and mental experience as trauma often has an impact on our throat chakra.
Join Vasant Lad, BAM&S, MASc as he explores the function and significance of this tiny yet powerful organ that affects so many people around the world, and find out what Ayurveda has to say about it.
