Efficacy of Homoeopathic Medicines in LM Potency for Treating Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is a clinical Syndrome resulting from a deficiency of thyroid hormones, which leads to generalized slowing down of metabolic processes. In infants and children results in marked slowing of growth &development with mental retardation. Whereas in adults leading to slowed heart rate, diminished oxygen consumption & deposition of glycosaminoglycans in intracellular spaces particularly in skin & muscles, female is more prone to suffer from this disorder. The risk is multiplied with increasing age and family history of thyroid disorder. The conventional system deals with prolonged use of Levothyroxine with subsequent increase or decrease of its doses depending on its condition. In homoeopathy we treat them with forming the Totality of Symptoms and by individualistic approach. I report a case of newly Married lady of 24 years old presented with hairfall, mood swings, fatigue and Menstrual irregularities. Natrum Muraticum in 50 millesimal(LM)potency was prescribed on the basis of totality and individualization.
