Abstract:
Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder characterized by insufficient production of thyroid hormones, leading to various physiological and psychological symptoms. While conventional treatment typically involves synthetic hormone replacement, there is increasing interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), particularly homeopathy, for managing this condition. This article explores the principles of homeopathy and its potential role in hypothyroidism management. It discusses common homeopathic remedies, their individualized applications, and the holistic approach of treating underlying factors contributing to the disorder. Although anecdotal evidence and some observational studies suggest benefits, the scientific community remains divided due to a lack of robust clinical trials. This article emphasizes the need for further research while highlighting homeopathy as a potential adjunct therapy for patients seeking a more personalized approach to hypothyroidism management.
