Jyotsnaa G. Bansal: Sharing Her Healing Experience in a New Book.

Published

on

Jyotsnaa G. Bansal, a Reiki Grandmaster and Master Numerologist has turned her personal health struggles into a guiding light for others. In her book, Hypothyroidism Healed, she shares her journey of overcoming hypothyroidism, a condition that affects many people today. Jyotsnaa’s story is not just about battling a health issue but also about discovering the power of alternative healing methods and the importance of support from loved ones.

Facing the Diagnosis

Jyotsnaa’s journey began in March 2018, a time when she was dealing with significant stress, fatigue, and emotional pain following her father’s death. After feeling unwell for some time, she received a diagnosis of hypothyroidism. Initially, like many others, she followed the traditional route of medication. However, Jyotsnaa and her husband, Adv. Navit Bansal, quickly realized that relying solely on medication was not a long-term solution they wanted to pursue. This realization marked the start of their exploration into alternative healing methods.

Choosing Alternative Healing

Determined to regain her health, Jyotsnaa turned to natural healing practices. She started incorporating Reiki, Yoga, and various holistic techniques into her daily routine. This shift was not just about finding remedies but about embracing a lifestyle change that could improve her overall well-being. In her book, she details the specific yoga poses she practiced for thyroid health and how Reiki helped her heal emotionally and spiritually.

One of the standout aspects of Hypothyroidism Healed is its practicality. Jyotsnaa doesn’t just share her story; she provides actionable steps for readers. Her focus on everyday choices empowers readers to take control of their health. For example, she includes easy-to-follow yoga sequences that can help alleviate symptoms of hypothyroidism. Additionally, her insights on using crystals for healing provide readers with a unique approach to enhancing their well-being.

The Importance of Support

Throughout her healing process, Jyotsnaa emphasizes the crucial role of support. Her husband, Navit, was not only her partner but also her biggest cheerleader. He stood by her side, helping her maintain a healthy lifestyle and encouraging her to stick with her new holistic practices. Their shared commitment to exploring alternative methods made a significant difference in Jyotsnaa’s recovery. This partnership highlights the importance of having a support system when facing health challenges.

Jyotsnaa’s story resonates with many who have experienced similar struggles. The emotional toll of health issues can be overwhelming, but having someone who understands and supports you can make a world of difference. In her book, she shares how this support helped her stay focused and motivated, turning her healing journey into a shared experience.

Challenging Misconceptions

One of the most common misconceptions about hypothyroidism is that it requires lifelong medication. Jyotsnaa aims to challenge this belief by sharing her personal experience. By 2020, she was able to stop taking medication entirely, showing that it is possible to manage thyroid health through alternative methods. Her journey serves as a beacon of hope for those who may feel trapped by their diagnosis.

In her interviews, Jyotsnaa often discusses how early action is key. She encourages readers to listen to their bodies and take charge of their health before symptoms worsen. By providing readers with insights into her healing practices, she hopes to empower them to explore alternative options.

Emotional and Mental Health

Jyotsnaa’s journey also emphasizes the connection between physical health and emotional well-being. Hypothyroidism can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and brain fog. In her book, she addresses these issues head-on, reminding readers that healing is not just about addressing physical symptoms. It’s equally important to nurture one’s emotional health.

Jyotsnaa practices mindfulness and encourages readers to cultivate a positive mindset. She believes that our thoughts can shape our reality. By focusing on positive affirmations and reinforcing a belief in healing, readers can create a more supportive environment for themselves.

A Practical Guide for Readers

Hypothyroidism Healed serves as a practical guide for those dealing with thyroid issues and anyone interested in holistic health. Jyotsnaa’s straightforward language and approachable style make her teachings accessible to a broad audience. She includes practical tips that can be easily integrated into daily life, helping readers feel empowered in their healing journeys.

Moreover, the book features a unique mnemonic she created to help readers remember the sequence of the 12 Zodiac signs, making it both educational and fun for those who enjoy astrology and numerology. This blend of personal stories and practical advice makes the book a valuable resource.


Jyotsnaa G. Bansal’s Hypothyroidism Healed is more than just a book about overcoming a health challenge; it’s a heartfelt narrative about the strength of the human spirit, the power of holistic healing, and the importance of support from loved ones. Jyotsnaa’s experience serves as a reminder that with determination, the right practices, and a supportive environment, anyone can take control of their health. Her story encourages readers to make small, everyday choices that lead to significant improvements in their well-being. For those grappling with hypothyroidism or any health issue, Jyotsnaa’s message is clear: healing is possible, and you are not alone on this path.
