Homoeopathy is an efficient system of medicine that aims at achieving holistic cure. The medicines balance the disturbed vital force of the patient, and thereby, bring about complete cure. A host of homoeopathic remedies have been known to appreciably improve the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Homeopathy helps bring the thyroid hormones to equilibrium, helps diminish the size of the gland in cases of goiter, and markedly ameliorates: menstrual irregularities, constipation, insomnia, skin lesions, mood swings and fatigue, associated with an over active thyroid. These drugs also help check palpitations, a quick pulse and a rapid heart rate effectively.

Natural Thyroid Treatment: Homeopathic Drugs for Hyperthyroidism

Homeopathy physicians take a detailed history of the condition, the onset and progress of the symptoms, one’s lifestyle pattern, diet and mental state.

Nevertheless, these two medicines have shown brilliant results in the successful management of hyperthyroid symptoms.

Iodum: Iodum shows rapid metabolism; a voracious appetite, but undue loss of weight. There is excessive weakness, debility and perspiration. Iodum alleviates violent palpitation, a rapid, bounding pulse and gasping for breath. It helps slow down the metabolic rate, so that weight loss stops. It eases irregular bowel movement and irregular menstruation successfully. Iodum when prescribed in low potency has been found to be highly beneficial in management of this condition.
Thyroidinum: Thyroidinum is a homeopathic remedy that is effective in hyperthyroidism as well as hypothyroidism. It is manufactured from the dried thyroid gland of the sheep. The drug works wonders when the patient demonstrates: extreme emaciation, fatigue, breathlessness, tremors of the hands and face, and exophthalmos (protruding eyes). The drug has a regulating influence over metabolism, nutrition, growth and development.
