Homoeopathy for Thyroid Disorders: Hashimoto’s & Graves’ Disease

Thyroid disorders are one of the most common endocrine problems today, affecting energy, mood, weight, and overall metabolism. Among these, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (hypothyroid tendency) and Graves’ Disease (hyperthyroid tendency) are autoimmune thyroid disorders, where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland.

At Santham Homoeopathy Hospital & Research Centre, we treat thyroid problems by focusing on immune balance, hormonal regulation, and root-cause correction, not just symptom control.

Understanding Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders

🔵 Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (Hypothyroidism)

The immune system slowly destroys thyroid tissue, leading to:

  • Weight gain

  • Fatigue

  • Hair fall

  • Dry skin

  • Irregular or scanty menses

  • Constipation

  • Mood changes / depression

  • Feeling cold easily

🔴 Graves’ Disease (Hyperthyroidism)

The immune system overstimulates the thyroid, producing excess hormones:

  • Weight loss despite good appetite

  • Palpitations

  • Heat intolerance

  • Tremors

  • Anxiety & restlessness

  • Bulging eyes (in some cases)

  • Sleeplessness

  • Loose stools

Both conditions are autoimmune in origin, meaning the root problem lies in immune imbalance, not the thyroid alone.

How Homoeopathy Helps in Thyroid Disorders

Homoeopathy treats thyroid diseases by correcting immune dysregulation, stabilizing hormones, and improving emotional and metabolic balance.

1. Regulates Immune System

Autoimmune thyroid disorders respond well to remedies that correct the body’s immune response, reducing tissue damage and flare-ups.

2. Works on Genetic Predisposition

Deep-acting constitutional remedies address hereditary tendencies, preventing progression.

3. Improves Thyroid Function Naturally

Patients often experience:

  • Better energy

  • Improved metabolism

  • Stabilized weight

  • Reduced hair fall

  • Emotional stability

4. Reduces Dependence on Lifelong Medication

In many cases of early Hashimoto’s and mild Graves’, homoeopathy helps reduce dose requirements under medical supervision.

5. Treats Emotional Triggers

Stress, grief, anxiety, and hormonal changes often trigger thyroid dysfunction. Homoeopathy treats these underlying causes.

Homoeopathic Medicines for Thyroid Disorders

(Medicine selection is purely individualized; below are common indications)

Note: Self-medication is not advised in autoimmune thyroid disorders. Each patient requires a constitutional assessment.

Investigations Necessary for Thyroid Patients

We recommend the following tests for accurate diagnosis:

🔹 Thyroid Profile

  • TSH

  • Free T3

  • Free T4

🔹 Autoimmune Markers

  • Anti-TPO antibodies

  • Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies

  • TSH receptor antibodies (for Graves’)

🔹 Additional Tests (if needed)

  • Lipid profile

  • Vitamin D & B12

  • Ultrasound thyroid

  • ECG (for hyperthyroid patients with palpitations)

Diet & Lifestyle Tips for Thyroid Health

✔ For Hypothyroidism

  • Include: millets, nuts, eggs, leafy greens.

  • Avoid: excessive gluten, refined sugar, soy.

  • Adequate sleep & regular exercise.

✔ For Hyperthyroidism
