Diminished
secretion
of
thyroid
hormones
in the
body is
called
as
hypothyroidism
(hypo=less).
|
Thyroid
is small
gland
situated
in the
midline
and base
of the
neck.
The
gland
produces
thyroid
hormones
that are
absolutely
essential
for
maintaining
harmony
of
various
body
functions.
Thyroid
hormone
expedites
speed of
bodys
chemical
reaction
and has
positive
influence
on
growth
of an
individual
(mental
and
physical).
Remarks:
Reduced secretion of thyroid hormones can produce myriad of symptoms that vary from |
 |
|
person
to
person
and with
the age
of
patient.
The
common
symptoms
include
signs
excessive
tiredness
and
sleepiness,
weight
gain,
intolerance
to cold,
hoarseness
of
voice,
deafness,
dry
flaky
skin and
hair,
loss of
hair,
body
swelling,
constipation,
depression,
etc. The
condition
is much
more
common
in
females.
One
reason
for such
reduced
production
of
thyroid
hormone
may be
deficiency
of raw
material
i.e.
dietary
iodine.
But
hypothyroidism
can
develop
in
absence
of
dietary
iodine
deficiency
also.
The
cause
for such
cases
may not
be known
always,
but it
is
largely
believed
to be
due to
disturbances
of
immune
system
where
bodys
defense
system
starts
attacking
bodys
own
organs
and
tissues.
Hypothyroidism
is a
constitutional
disorder
affecting
multiple
body
systems
and
calls
for an
in-depth
constitutional
approach
for its
management.
The
science
of
homeopathy
is based
on the
concept
that
disease
is total
affliction
of body
and may
find its
local
expression
at the
level of
certain
organs.
Hence
homeopathy
medicines
take
into
account
presenting
complaints
along
with
physical,
emotional,
and
genetic
make up
of a
person
that
individualizes
him/her.
Suggestion
about
homeopathic
treatment:
Homeopathy
is very
strongly
suggested
for
cases of
hypothyroidism.
Experience
has
established
that
homeopathic
treatment,
especially
in the
early
2-3
years,
are able
to
stimulate
thyroid
glands
to
produce
enough
hormones.
Homeopathy
is
strongly
recommended
in hte
cases of
hypothyroidism
(under
active
thyroid).
Those
patients
who are
on
thyroid
supplement
for
about
two
years,
can
still
check
the
possibility
of
tapering
the
thyroid
supplement,
using
homeopathy.
We at
Life
Force,
do not
recommend
homeopathy
to those
patients
who are
on
thyroid
supplement
for over
three
years. |
