“…In this study, we have only used constitutional homeopathic medicine in the treatment of the cases. Previously, few studies were conducted in hypothyroidism titled "Efficacy of homeopathic intervention in subclinical hypothyroidism with or without autoimmune thyroiditis in children: An exploratory randomized control study" [9] and "An openlabel randomized pragmatic exploratory pilot trial to compare the effectiveness of Echinacea Angustifolia 200 cH against individualized homeopathic medicines in hypothyroidism" [10]. We did not find any case series regarding treatment with constitutional homoeopathic medicine.…”

Objectives:Hypothyroidism is a disease in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.It is the second most common endocrine disorder among women.Common causes are autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, surgical removal of the thyroid and radiation therapy.Symptoms of Hypothyroidism include weight gain, alteration in cognition, fatigue, infertility and menstrual abnormalities.Thyroid stimulating hormone is highly sensitive to thyroid dysfunction and is used to evaluate thyroid disorders.Monotherapy with Levothyroxine is the standard for treating hypothyroidism in the conventional method.Apart from coventional method of treatment homoeopathy also has a scope in the treatment of hypothyroidism. Methods: This is a series of three cases which presented with symptoms of Hypothyroidism thoroughly evaluated and treated with constitutional homoeopathic medicine in a variable period of time.Assesment of thyroid stimulating hormone was done to see the improvement in the cases . Results: A marked improvement in the clinical symptoms as well as the pathological report was observed. Conclusion: This case series shows that Homoeopathic intervention can be used in the treatment of Hypothyroidism.

“…The possible causal attribution of the treatment outcome was assessed using 'Modified Naranjo Criteria' as proposed by the HPUS clinical data working group 13,14 (►Table 4). The score obtained (8) reflects that there is probability that the improvement in the patient can be attributed to the homoeopathic medicine administered.…”

Symptomatic Subclinical Hypothyroidism Treated with Homoeopathy: Case Reports

et al. 2020

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a condition where serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level is high, but the T3 and T4 are within normal level. SCH carries a risk of cardiovascular diseases or progression to overt hypothyroidism. Treatment becomes more necessary in case of older age groups and in females. Two cases of SCH treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine are presented and the improvement was significant showing reduction in the TSH levels with overall improvement in health.

“…According to a clinical study by Prajakta Ghare et al, Homoeopathic medicine Thyroidinum has potential to treat subclinical hypothyroidism and may prevent patients from progressing to overt hypothyroidism [3] . An exploratory randomized control study in Homeopathy by Chauhan VK et al, shows a statistically significant decline in serum TSH values and Anti-TPO after Homoeopathic intervention which indicates that the homeopathic medicine has not only potential to treat subclinical hypothyroidism and but may also prevent progression to overt hypothyroidism [4] .…”

Hypothyroidism is emerging to be one of the most common endocrinological disorders worldwide which when left undetected or untreated leads to severe complications. However, clinical manifestations vary from serious symptoms to certain non-specific symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, depression or aches and pains. It occurs more in women and a positive family history of thyroid diseases where traced frequently. Thyroid stimulating hormone is highly sensitive to thyroid dysfunction and commonly used to evaluate thyroid disorders. The standard treatment of hypothyroidism restores the thyroid function by daily use of the synthetic hormone tablets. Homoeopathic medicine plays a significant role in management of thyroid disorder. A case reported in the OPD of National Homoeopathy Research Institute in Mental Health, Kottayam with reports of raised levels of thyroid stimulating hormone showed its reduction after administration of Homoeopathic medicine. This is documentary evidence showing that an underactive thyroid gland is effectively acted upon by Homoeopathic interventions to bring about desired effects.

Efficacy of homeopathic intervention in subclinical hypothyroidism with or without autoimmune thyroiditis in children: an exploratory randomized control study

Abstract: A statistically significant decline in serum TSH values and antiTPOab titers indicates that the homeopathic intervention has not only the potential to treat SCH with or without antiTPOab but may also prevent progression to OH.
