Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Hyperthyroidism does not cause weight gain. It leads to loss of weight. Where as hypothyroidism leads to weight gain. It is better if thyroid function test results are mentioned: T3, T4 & TSH levels. For conditions related to thyroid secretion there is no Ayurvedic treatment. It has to be be either taking Levothyroxine in case of Hypothyroidism or taking Anti- thyroid drugs for hyperthyroidism. Since nothing is clear in your information, difficult to suggest. Thanks.
