Thyroid

The functioning of our endocrine system is very complex. The derangements of our genetics when clubs together with external environmental and lifestyle factors, result in an imbalance of the delicate hormonal system. We all see the rise in thyroid malfunctioning around us.

Hypothyroidism signs and symptoms may include:

• Fatigue

• Increased sensitivity to cold

• Constipation

• Dry skin

• Weight gain

• Puffy face

• Hoarseness

• Muscle weakness

• Elevated blood cholesterol level

• Muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness, or swelling in your joints

• Heavier than normal or irregular menstrual periods

• Thinning of hair

• Slowed heart rate

• Depression, Impaired memory

• Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter), etc

Hypothyroidism is a disorder where the Thyroid gland starts producing fewer hormones than required.

The cause behind this may be anywhere in the hormonal cycle starting from the hypothalamus to the liver.

It could also be due to leaky gut syndrome.

The conventional therapy given ensures that the deficit of hormone production is completed by an additional dose in form of a daily tablet. Unfortunately, the functioning of the gland keeps on going down with time resulting in the further need for increased doses.

Homeopathy on the other hand helps to bring the balance back correcting the root cause of derangement. This ensures that the thyroid gland starts regaining its lost function. Of course, this needs to be paired with lifestyle changes, which helps to bring the balance back correcting the derangement.

A few of the steps we need to follow to ensure smooth functioning of body functions and to balance our hormones naturally include:

1. Better sound sleep

2. Healthy emotional health

3. Avoid processed and microwaved foods

4. Promote the use of coconut oil, olive oil, ghee, or mustard oil

5. Increased use of herbs and supplements

6. Ways to deal with environmental pollution
