Background: Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder of the body characterised by deficient secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland, leading to slowing of the metabolic processes of the body. It affects multiple organ systems of the body and presents with diverse physical and psychological symptoms. allopathic management mainly relies on lifelong hormone replacement therapy, which may not always address individual susceptibility and constitutional factors.

Objective: To review hypothyroidism from a clinical and pathophysiological perspective and to highlight the scope and role of homoeopathic therapeutics in its holistic management.

Method: A narrative review of standard medical literature on hypothyroidism and classical homoeopathic texts, including materia medica, repertories, and miasmatic literature, was undertaken. Emphasis was placed on symptomatology, constitutional types, and commonly indicated homoeopathic remedies.

Conclusion: Homoeopathy offers a holistic and individualised approach to hypothyroidism by addressing the patient’s constitutional makeup, mental state, and underlying miasmatic influences. While it does not replace emergency or essential hormone therapy, homoeopathy may play a significant complementary role in improving quality of life, symptom control, and overall well-being.
