Understanding Hypothyroidism in Homoeopathy: Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

Ramneek Kaur

Abstract: Hypothyroidism results from low levels of thyroid hormone with varied etiology and manifestations. Hypothyroidism is primarily categorized as primary and secondary (ie, central) hypothyroidism. In primary hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland cannot produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone. The less commonly seen secondary or central hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland functions normally; however, hypothyroidism results from the abnormal pituitary gland or hypothalamus function. Autoimmune thyroiditis and iodine deficiency are the most common causes of the disease.
