Homeopathy for Thyroid function
The thyroid gland is found just below the voice box in the neck and controls the amount of thyroxin being produced and released in the body. Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most common clinical conditions seen frequently.
The thyroid gland secretes the thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) hormones in a ratio of 90:10. As practically all body systems use these hormones, over or under production leads to a wide variety of symptoms of thyroid problems. Some of them are:
- General fatigue
- Depression
- Weight loss or weight gain
- Reactive hypoglycemia
- Puffiness near the eyes or around ankles
- Scanty or lack of menstruation
- Dry skin, hair loss and low body temperature.
Homeopathy, a natural system of healthcare, offers a better and safer option for treating thyroid conditions. There are excellent remedies in Homeopathy for the patients suffering from hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism symptoms. The homeopathic remedies are prepared from a wide range of substances such as the vegetables, herbs, minerals, chemicals and animal products in extremely minute doses.
Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body’s own healing power. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body to reactivate the hormone secretions, replenish and restore the thyroid tissue through the pituitary and other glands as a whole allowing the body to heal itself.
Commonly used homeopathic remedies for hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) include:
- Fucus vesiculosus
- Bromium
- Calcarea carb
- Calcarea phos
- Calcarea
- Lycopus
- Calcarea carb
- Lapis alb
- Iodium
- Spongia
Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body’s own immune system and offer a long lasting cure rather than giving temporary relief.
