Lifeway Homeopathic Clinic

One of the fastest growing disorders in modern times is the malfunction of the Thyroid. The statistics show that the Thyroid condition is the most under-diagnosed health problem. There are millions of people suffering from Thyroid problems, but only a few out of those are diagnosed and treated, see positive results using Thyroid medications. Often the Thyroid levels appear normal with lab, yet the individuals struggle with the symptoms of Thyroid problem. The Thyroid is one of several glands in the endocrine system, located in the front of the neck. The glands of the endocrine system control many of the body’s functions through chemical substances called hormones. The hormones produced by the Thyroid gland regulate how the body cells use energy and how fast the body’s metabolism work. This gland also affects the rate of growth of the hair and bones, the body over weight, temperature and energy level as well as the function of the heart and digestive system.

Homeopathy Treatment for Thyroid:

Conventional treatment for Thyroid disease involves a lifelong medication or painful process. Although there are many alternative treatments, among all those treatments Thyroid treatment in Homeopathy is a good way to opt because it will have no side effects and also a painless procedure to control and get relief. While in homeopathy, we propose to treat the problem not by supplementing the deficiencies or surplus, but by reactivation of efficient Thyroid glandular function. Our immune system is also under constant attack from toxins within air, water and food supply.

​

These pollutants, over-stimulate our immune system, create autoimmune reactions and damage Thyroid function. In Homeopathy we provide constitutional treatment which focuses on improving the function of the Thyroid gland by natural means. The constitutional remedies will stimulate the body to reactivate Thyroid secretions. In our Thyroid treatment we will help to boost energy, improve circulation and thereby help balancing hypo as well as hypothyroid functions. It may be also used as a supportive help for regulating both hypo and hyper thyroid functions.

Hypothyroidism:

Hypothyroidism is the most common hormone disease along with Diabetes Mellitus and female hormonal disturbances. Hypothyroidism is more commonly seen in women than men, but can affect all people and of all age groups. Hypothyroidism many a times it goes unnoticed and undiagnosed.

Hypothyroidism is the most common hormone disease along with Diabetes Mellitus and Female Hormonal Disturbances. Hypothyroidism is more commonly seen in women than men, but can affect all people and of all age groups. Hypothyroidism many a times it goes unnoticed and undiagnosed.

What is Hypothyroidism?

Hypo means under activity. Under activity of the thyroid gland is called as hypothyroidism. The circulating thyroid hormones in body becomes less than sufficient and causes symptoms.

What are the types of Hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism is classified into 2 types based on the level of problem

1. Primary Hypothyroidism :

   Thyroid gland is at fault and is unable to produce sufficient hormones, this type of hypothyroidism is called as primary hypothyroidism.

2. Secondary hypothyroidism:

   In Secondary Hypothyroidism the defect is at the hypothalamo-pituitary axis and there is an insufficient TSH production, which leads to less stimulation of the thyroid gland and in-turn leads to decreased production of T3 and T4 and leads to hypothyroidism.

What are the causes of Hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism is a multifactorial disease and has many causes and some of the most common causes of hypothyroidism are :

1. Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in many parts of world.

2. Auto- immune thyroiditis or hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in western countries, especially in USA.

3. Previous surgical treatment for hyperthyroid or thyroid nodule.

4. History of radiation / radiation therapy to thyroid gland.

5. Certain drugs : Medication used for Hyperthyroidism, Psychiatric diseases, Heart problems can lead to hypothyroidism.

What are the symptoms of Hypothyroidism?

1. Fatigue, weakness, exhaustion, sluggishness.

2. Weight gain

3. Cold intolerance or decreased tolerance to cold.

4. Hair loss and Coarse, dry hair and/or thinning of hair.

5. Dry, rough, pale and itchy skin.

6. Constipation.

7. Depression, mood swings, Irritability.

8. Memory loss, Difficulty in concentrating.

In Women :

1.  Abnormal menstrual cycles : increased or irregular menstrual flow.

2. Frequent miscarriages, unable to conceive (Infertility).

3. Puffy, swollen face & swelling of feet.

4. Swelling of the thyroid gland (Goiter).

5. Hoarseness of voice and slow speech.

In Children :

1. Stunted growth, short stature, late development of teeth, Delayed puberty, slow mental development and dullness with delayed learning and poor memory can be the only symptom in school going children suffering with Hypothyroidism

How is Hypothyroidism Diagnosed?

1. Diagnosis of hypothyroidism is mainly based on results of thyroid hormone levels in body. Generally Thyroid hormone (T3 and T4 ) levels in body can be deficient or normal and Thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) level in body is elevated in primary hypothyroidism and decreased in case of secondary hypothyroidism.

2. Anti TPO antibodies testing is done to diagnosis Auto-Immune Thyroiditis,

3. To detect a nodule or infiltrative disease, ultrasonography of thyroid gland is performed.

What are the measures to keep the disease under control?

 

1. Monitor your Thyroid hormone levels regularly. Every 6 months to 1year you should get your thyroid hormone levels checked or as advice by your doctor.

2. As many patients suffering with hypothyroidism also have high cholesterol in body you may need to regularly check your lipid profile. To decrease other complications arising out of high cholesterol levels diet high in fats should be avoided.

3. Reduce your stress, try to relax, avoid stress/tensions, try practicing yoga & meditation or other relaxing techniques convenient for you . Habituate a healthy life style and have good sleep.

4. Regular Exercise,

5. Avoid goitrogens in food ex : cabbage, cauliflower, Broccoli

6. Eat plenty of fresh leafy vegetables and fruits

What is Hyperthyroidism?

Hyper means over activity. Over activity of the thyroid gland is called as hyperthyroidism. The circulating thyroid hormones in body becomes more or excessive than sufficient and causes symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

What are The Types of Hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism is classified into 2 types based on the organ involved/ responsible for hyperthyroidism

1. Primary Hyperthyroidism :

   Excessive thyroid hormones are produced Thyroid gland is at fault and is producing more than sufficient hormones, this type of hyperthyroidism is called as primary hyperthyroidism.

2. Secondary hyperthyroidism :

   In Secondary Hyperthyroidism the defect is at the hypothalamus – pituitary axis and there is an excessive TSH production, which leads to increased stimulation of the thyroid gland and in-turn leads to increased production of T3 and T4 and leads to hyperthyroidism.

What are the causes of Hyperthyroidism?

Some common causes of hyperthyroidism are:

1. Graves’ Disease: The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves disease, an autoimmune disease, leading to excessive production of thyroid hormones.

2. Functioning adenoma (“hot nodule”) and Toxic MultiNodular Goiter (TMNG): small growths in the thyroid gland are called as nodules, if these growths are many in number it is called as multi nodular goiter. And can be responsible for excessive secretion of thyroid hormones.

3. Abnormal secretion of TSH: a tumor in pituitary secretes excessive amounts of TSH, which stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete more thyroid hormones leading to Hyperthyroidism.

4. Thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid gland): inflammation of the thyroid gland leads to increased production of thyroid hormones leading to Hyperthyroidism.

5. Excessive intake of thyroid hormone supplements is a rare cause of Hyperthyroidism. If a patient of hypothyroidism who is not under regular follow up by a physician and continue to take the same dosage of supplement may be taking excessive amounts of thyroid hormone than required which causes Hyperthyroidism.

6. Excessive Iodine intake: although a rare case, ingestion of excessive iodine can lead to excessive production of thyroid hormones leading to hyperthyroidism.

What are the symptoms of Hyperthyroidism?

1. Unexplained changes in Weight.

2. Anxiety – Nervousness; and feeling agitated and increased irritability.

3. Intolerance to heat and feeling very hot.

4. Increased Appetite.

5. Exophthalmos – (external protrusion of the eyeball) especially in graves disease.

6. Increased/ frequent or loose bowel movements.

7. Hand Tremor.

8. Palpitation – Rapid or irregular heart beat.

9. Excessive sweating

10. Weakness, Fatigue or tired feeling.

11. Decreased concentration.

12. In women: menses (periods) may be Irregular and can have scant menstrual flow.

All the symptoms mentioned may or may not be present in every person with hyperthyroidism, and the intensity of the symptoms varies from person to person and many a times may depend upon the severity of the disease.

What are the lab tests to detect Hyperthyroidism?

• Diagnosis of Hyperthyroidism is mainly based on the results of thyroid hormone levels in the body. Generally Thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) levels in the body can be elevated or normal and Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level in the body is below normal in hyperthyroidism.

• Anti TPO antibodies, anti-TSH-receptor antibodies testing is done to diagnose Graves disease and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.

• If a nodule or infiltrative disease is suspected to be the cause of hyperthyroidism, an ultra sonography of the thyroid gland is performed. And a biopsy or needle biopsy is done to rule out cancer.

• Iodine uptake scan is performed to check for iodine uptake by the thyroid gland, which is generally elevated in hyperthyroidism.

Treatment of Hyperthyroidism at Homeocare International:

As previously explained hyperthyroidism many a times result from Graves disease or from Thyroiditis which are caused due to imbalances in the immune system and are autoimmune diseases. Homeocare International offers the good way to treat an autoimmune disease by correcting the imbalances in the Immune System, Homeocare International’s unique “Hormone cell”is stared to improve the quality and success in treating all hormone related diseases.
At Homeocare International by following the Constitutional Homeopathy method the person suffering with Hyperthyroidism is studied in all the aspects and treated so that the immune system is brought back to a balanced state and the root cause of Hyperthyroidism is treated there by curing the Hyperthyroidism.
Patient feed back and studies show that many patients with hyperthyroidism due to Graves disease and Thyroiditis showed good improvement in the quality of life and were controlled with considerable success.
