HYPOTHYROIDISM

the more frank cases of hypo-thyroidism. The
standard blood test criteria is a low T4 and a high TSH (thyroid stimulating
hormone). Because
of this insensitivity, some doctors have dubbed sub-optimal thyroid as the
"much mis-diagnosed malady."

Like growth hormone, thyroid hormone
effects about every cell in the body. It regulates the metabolism, which is the
process by which we release energy for all our vital processes, including body
temperature and heart beat. This butterfly shaped gland sits just below your
Adam's apple. The major mineral for the thyroid is iodine. Deficiency of iodine will lead to full blown hypo-thyroidism
with a goiter. A goiter in this case is a hypertrophied thyroid
trying in vain to create active thyroxin. Fortunately, iodized salt has made
this much less common.
The best way to screen for hypo-thyroid
is to first note if you suffer from several or more of the above symptoms.
HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT:
Hypothyroidism is associated with other
complaints and produces different problems in every individual. So the best way
of homoeopathic treatment is prescribing according presenting complaints of
patient narrated by patient by himself and observed by physicians and family
member or care taker.
Homoepath needs some more information
regarding your daily routine, eating habits, desire – aversion, sleeping
pattern, weather reaction , mental symptoms etc to find out most suitable
similar remedy to your complaints. Some of good medicine for hypothyroidism is
mentioning here for information only, although some other medicine also may be
require as per your problem, so consult your nearby homoeopath to start
