Thriving easy through Hypothyroid with Homoeopathy

Hypothyroidism develops when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. When your thyroid gland is unable to make the required amount of thyroid hormones you end up having too little thyroid hormones this is what hypothyroidism is all about. Some of the common causes are severe iodine deficiency, pregnancy, radioactive iodine treatment or surgery of thyroid gland, or defective thyroid gland, pituitary disease and certain medications or drugs. Common symptoms include fatigue, depressions, weight gain, intolerance to cold, excessive sleepiness, dry, coarse hair, constipation, dry skin, muscle cramps, increased cholesterol levels, decreased concentration, vague aches and pains and swelling of the legs. Diagnosis is confirmed by your doctor by ordering blood test of thyroid hormones and anti-thyroid antibodies or in worst cases would ask for thyroid scan if there is swelling of the thyroid gland as seen in cases of goitre. It is best to speak to a doctor. Self-diagnosis is not recommended.

Why Homoeopathy?

Homoeopathy helps to produce thyroid hormone naturally by stimulating the immune system and helps in better functioning of the thyroid gland.

Homoeopathic remedies work by stimulating the body’s own healing capacity by encouraging the body to reactivate hormone secretions.

Homeopathy is free from any side-effects. Not only do homoeopathic medicines reduce hairloss but they also protect the body from harmful side-effects that are common with conventional drugs.

Stress causes hormonal disturbances in the body like thyroid problems which are known to cause hairloss and is very effectively treated with homeopathy.

Homoeopathy is a mind-body medicine. Homoeopathy treats not only the physical complaints, but also targets the mind and gently restores mind-body equilibrium- thus it treats the patient as a whole. This makes homoeopathy an excellent solution for hair problems related to the mind such as stress related patchy hairloss (alopecia areata) or stress induced massive hair shedding.

Homoeopathy helps to slow down the progression of the patchy hair loss and fill them up with new hair. A complete recovery is possible in most cases with homoeopathy. Hypothyroid is a known triggering factor for patchy hair loss and homoeopathy treats thyroid problems very effectively.
