What is Thyroid?

Thyroid gland the powerhouse of the body. This is one of the major hormonal glands controlling all other hormonal glands in the body and the metabolism of the body. Any problem with thyroid glands has long-term and serious consequences on the whole body. So it’s recommended not to ignore problems of thyroid disease. This article explains what is thyroid disorders, the signs and symptoms of thyroid, tests for thyroid, and homeopathic treatment for thyroid disease.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland situated in the front portion of the neck. It regulates the metabolism and affects the function of other systems in the body. This is done through the secretion of hormones thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and calcitonin. The total control of thyroid hormone synthesis lies in hands of the hypothalamus and pituitary. Any disturbance in the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis leads to disturbance in the thyroid hormone synthesis, which in turn causes disturbance in the metabolic functions of the body.

Thyroid disorders include:

• Hypothyroidism (Hormone deficiency disease) (raised TSH, decreased T3 and T4)
• Hyperthyroidism (Hormone excess) (decreased levels of TSH and increased levels of T3 and T4)
• Goiter (enlarged thyroid gland)
• Thyroid cysts (seen as an enlargement in the thyroid gland)
• Benign tumors (non-cancerous)
• Malignant neoplasm (cancerous growth of thyroid)
• Graves’s disease (it is an autoimmune (self-destructive) disorder, where the antibodies get directed towards the destruction of the thyroid).

HomoeoCARE's Approach

We follow a two-pronged approach for homeopathic treatment for thyroid disease.

• The first is to rectify the faulty defense signal, which is responsible for targeting its own cell. When this happens, the body stops destroying its thyroid, hence the progress of the disease is arrested.
• The other approach is to increase an individual’s immunity. This helps the thyroid to fight against any complication and also help in the repair of the already destroyed thyroid.

Our approach is to stimulate the thyroid in such a manner that the thyroid does not remain dependant on an external aid (the medicine).  It’s like the functioning in your kitchen is not normal and you order food daily (thyroxine) from the restaurant. One day you get fed up with the outside food (thyroxine). We have often seen that the doctor increases the dose once the body does not respond well to the previous quantity of dose. This makes the body more and more dependent on external aid. At HomoeoCARE we look into the cause of thyroid dysfunction. It’s like finding out whether the cook (thyroid) is not functioning well or some ingredient (in this case iodine) is missing?

HomoeoCARE's Success

We at HomoeoCARE hold special thyroid clinics. Our researched and scientific approach helps our patients to get the best homeopathic treatment for thyroid disease. We at our clinics have been treating thyroid disorders with quite a success, but results vary from individual to individual, depending upon many factors.

 A 30-year old female suffering from hypothyroidism came to our clinic. She had the problem of weight gain, hoarseness of voice, weak memory, and a lot of lethargy. She also complained of migraines for which she took painkillers. Even after taking thyronorm  75mg/day her thyroid functioning test was  T3-0.80, T4-11.11, T.S.H 11.24.T3, T4. The hormones secreted by the thyroid showed that the thyroid gland was going into failure whereas high T.S.H levels indicate that the pituitary had to force the thyroid gland to secrete the hormones.

After being treated with homeopathic medicines for hypothyroidism and with proper guidance at HomoeoCARE, her lethargy reduced, her memory started improving, her migraine improved so much that she never took any painkillers since she started with this medicine. Usually, thyronorm / Eltroxin is never tapered off or stopped permanently in patients with hypothyroidism in allopathy, but this patient discontinued her thyronorm since she started with treatment at HomoeoCARE. Her T3, T4 levels started to improve as her thyroid gland started functioning again and her T.S.H became normal. With her treatment at HomoeoCARE, she is doing well without thyronorm / hormonal pills and living a healthy and active life. She is not dependent on thyronorm for the rest of her life.
