A Hypothyroidism Patient Found Excellent Results with Homeopathy at Life Force
An underactive thyroid (Hypothyroidism) is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones.
Common symptoms of this condition include increased tiredness, sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin, weight gain, generalized edema, joint pains, menstrual irregularity, hair fall/hair thinning, slow heart rate (bradycardia), depression, hoarseness of voice, memory issues, etc.
Conditions and problems that can lead to hypothyroidism may include auto-immune diseases, thyroid surgery, radiation therapy, thyroiditis, adverse effects of certain medicines, etc. Homeopathy can treat this condition effectively. Here’s a hypothyroidism case treated with homeopathy successfully.
Case Study
A 19-year-old female patient (PIN: 36029) visited Life Force Homeopathy Chembur Branch on 21st March 2018 for the treatment of her complaints of underactive thyroid which was detected quite recently.
Her main presenting symptoms were increased hair fall, weakness, and irregular menses.
Personal and Family Set-up:
The patient was asked about her history of ailments and it was updated. Her family’s medical history of ailments was also asked for and updated for future reference.

The patient’s thyroid reports were updated in the case file. The following were her thyroid profile values.
T3 - 1.2
T4 - 7.7
TSH - 16.6
A detailed case history was taken considering both her mental and physical generals.
Physical Generals:
The patient was a non-vegetarian and had an average appetite. She had craving for spicy food and chicken. She had an average thirst and drank 2.5 liters of water daily. She had average perspiration and couldn’t bear extremely hot weather. Her bowel movements were satisfactory, and she had no urinary symptoms. She enjoyed a sound sleep and had no recurrent dreams as such.

By nature, the patient was very shy, mild, sober, and reserved.
Her childhood history was asked about; she had a very happy childhood with a well-supportive family.
Her intellectual sphere was also asked about. Her memory, intelligence, logic, analysis, and perception all were good.
At Life Force:
After going through the entire case and analyzing it, Dr. Shah prescribed medicines to the patient accordingly.
Follow-Ups:
When the first follow-up was done on 1st May 2018, the patient was fine. Her weakness had reduced slightly. Also, she started getting menses regularly. Her hair fall was persisting as such.
On her follow-up on 29th June 2018, the patient experienced a further improvement in her relief from the symptoms. Also, her thyroid values improved slightly. Her TSH values were - TSH-12.44.
By 16th August 2018, the patient’s thyroid values had come to the normal range - TSH-4.4.
In further follow-ups, her thyroid values were in constant stable condition. Also, her relief from all her symptoms was fully better.
The patient continued the treatment for the next 3 years, and, finally, by 13th February 2021, the patient stopped treatment as her thyroid values were stable with treatment.
The patient was very happy and grateful to Dr. Shah and the entire Life Force family for the excellent results that she had experienced. She was very happy that she didn’t have to take any hormonal pills and was thus saved from being dependent on any hormonal treatment.
Conclusion:
This case highlights that homeopathic treatment stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones. Homeopathic medicines act to correct the internal imbalance rather than supplying hormones externally. Thus, homeopathic medicines help in treating the root cause of the condition so that a life-long need for thyroid supplements may not be required. Thus, homeopathy promotes recovery from hypothyroidism naturally, successfully, and safely without any side effects.
