Thyroid problems

Thyroid gland is a butter-fly shaped endocrine gland found in the front of the neck below the larynx and has two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe. Thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, disorders of these tissues can also affect thyroid function and cause thyroid problems. Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism are the common thyroid problems. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone (TSH). Hypothyroidism most often affects middle-aged and older women, anyone can develop the condition, including infants. It is common in women than men particularly over the age of 50. Hypothyroidism also known as “Underactive thyroid”. Symptoms are unexplained weight gain, puffy face, dry skin, thinning of hairs, weakness, irregular menstruation, constipation etc. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces too much of the thyroxine hormone (T4). Hyperthyroidism also known as “Overactive thyroid”. Symptoms are sudden weight loss, weakness, mood swings, nervousness, anxiety, menstrual irregularities in women etc. 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, but by reactivation of efficient Thyroid glandular function.
