The thyroid gland is present below Adam’s Apple in the base of the throat (front) and produces two vital hormones. These hormones are Triiodothyronine or T3 and Thyroxine or T4. In Hypothyroidism, the thyroid glands are unable to produce adequate amounts of these hormones, which can have both short-term and long-term complications if untreated. Homeopathic medicines for Thyroid diseases are able to treat the condition and help avoid Hypothyroidism related diseases.

Causes of Hypothyroidism

A decrease in T3 and T4 levels in the blood indicates the presence of an under-active thyroid. The following are some of the common causes of Hypothyroidism:

Autoimmunity: Autoimmunity is a condition where the body’s immunity starts attacking its own cells. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease of the Thyroid glands, destroying healthy thyroid cells, causing a decreased production of thyroid hormones.

Causes of autoimmunity are not known, and it is rather difficult to treat autoimmune diseases. The good news is that Homeopathic medicines for Thyroid diseases have an excellent immune-modulating ability. These medicines correct the autoimmunity and offer effective treatment for Hypothyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism Treatment

Hyperthyroidism treatment for normalizing the excessive production of thyroid hormones can sometimes cause permanent Hypothyroidism. Homeopathy for Hypothyroidism can treat an underachieve thyroid caused by the effect of Hyperthyroidism treatment in a person.

Thyroid Surgery

Surgical removal of a part of the Thyroid gland may also cause a reduced activity of the glands, thus decreasing the Thyroid glands. Such cases of an under-active thyroid can be effectively treated using Homeopathy medicine for Thyroid diseases.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy for treating cancers can have a damaging effect on the Thyroid glands, often leading to Hypothyroidism. Homeopathy for Hypothyroidism is effective in treating this type of under-active thyroid, as well.

Congenital Diseases

When a baby is born with a defective Thyroid gland, it may also cause Hypothyroidism, which is also treatable in Homeopathy.

Pituitary Gland Disorder

The pituitary gland is responsible for the release of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, or TSH. A decreased activity of the Pituitary gland, or a benign tumor, may decrease TSH production, ultimately causing Hypothyroidism.

Medicines

Using Antipsychotic medicines, such as lithium, may also cause Hypothyroidism.

Pregnancy

Postpartum Hypothyroidism is becoming more and more common, especially in women with other medical conditions, like diabetes, hypertension. The body sometimes starts producing antibodies to the healthy thyroid cells following the delivery, leading to Hypothyroidism.

Iodine Deficiency

Iodine is responsible for the production of Thyroid hormones. An iodine-deficient diet may lead to Hypothyroidism. Homeopathic medicines for Thyroid Diseases offer effective treatment for Hypothyroidism. Adding iodized salt in the food may help complement the treatment of an Underactive thyroid.
