HOMEOPATHY FOR HYPERTHYROIDISM & HYPOTHYROIDISMThyroid
is a gland situated in the neck. It produces two important hormones T3
& T4 which have an effect on practically all systems of the body.
Diseases of the thyroid can cause alterations in hormone secretion,
enlargement of the gland or both. Any disease of the thyroid will
either cause hormones to be decreased(hypothyroidism) or increased(hyperthyroidism).
It is not always possible to find the cause of thyroid disease but one
of the causes of hypothyroidism is iodine deficiency. Dietary iodine can
be increased by consuming iodised salt but it must be kept inind that
excess iodine is also harmful. Thyroid disease is usually first
noticed due to a swelling in the neck just over the region of the voice
box or due to significant change in weight & appetite. Blood
tests are required to confirm hypo or hyperthyroidism. Once the diagnosis
is made, appropriate therapy needs to be started. Some patients recover
after few years or months of medication & need no further treatment
while some may have to take the medicines for life. Homeopathy offers
better chances of a permanent cure since the treatment is based on the
person's individual constitution.
Commonly used homeopathic remedies for thyroid (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroism) problems are : Fucus vesiculosus, Bromium, Iodine, Calcarea carb, Thyroidinum etc. |
