What Is Underactive Thyroid? The thyroid is a small gland in the neck which produces and secretes thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating the body’s metabolic rate. The thyroid hormone has effects on almost every cell of the body including the functioning of the digestive system, heart, muscles, bones, brain, reproductive system, etc. An underactive thyroid or hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland is unable to produce enough thyroid hormones. An underactive thyroid is one of the most commonly seen hormonal disorders. In case of the homeopathic treatment for an underactive thyroid, homeopathic medicines try to stimulate the thyroid gland for normal production of the thyroid hormone. This works as long as the gland is in position to get stimulated. While treating an underactive thyroid, it is important to understand that since there is an inability or sluggishness of the thyroid gland, the treatment should focus on stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone adequately, rather than simply supplying deficient Thyroxine hormone through external means. Homeopathy works on the same principle. The individualized homeopathic treatment is based on the study of the patient’s signs and symptoms, the duration of illness, stage of the underactive thyroid, extent of the disease, cause, genetic pattern, emotional state of the patient, level of thyroid hormones and TSH, and other laboratory findings. In this way, homeopathic treatment not only improves the thyroid function but also gives relief in its discomforting signs and symptoms.

Human body, presents with many diseases on it. In fact, the skin is the reflection of what is happening under the skin, or rather, inside the body. Most of the internal systems and organs in the body when get affected or diseased, they show their effects in the form of skin diseases, in various forms. For example, when the immune system gets haywire, it shows on the skin in the form of diseases like psoriasis or lichen planus. When the immune system gets hypersensitive or delicate, it shows internal disease in the form of allergies such as urticaria or eczema. When the internal immune system is weakened, it gets impacted by external germs and there are various skin infections such as pyoderma, boils, carbuncles, warts, molluscum contagiosa, fungus infections, etc. Similarly, when hormonal system inside gets sick, it can lead to some of the symptoms of hormonal diseases such as hair fall, alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, hyper-pigmentation, melasma, vitiligo, dry skin, and the like. Also, some of the genetic tendencies are displayed in the form of skin diseases, such as vitiligo, skin cancer, psoriasis, pemphigus, etc. In other words, the skin is like a mirror of our body, which reflects the internal changes, internal diseases. They need to be understood accordingly. That means, the skin diseases are not skin deep; they are much deeper than the skin. They give us a signal about the internal disease. The homeopathic approach to skin disease In homeopathy, when we approach the treatment of skin diseases, we evaluate skin disease in its totality; and try to understand its inner cause, at the level of immunology, hormones, genetics, metabolic, etc. and plan the treatment in such as way that the disease is addressed at the root level, treating the related cause. By treating the disease such as psoriasis or urticaria or lichen planus or vitiligo, we treat the disease at a deeper level so that the disease does not recur for a long time, for many years or months. While treating the skin diseases at such a deeper level using homeopathy, the homeopathic medicines are administered orally. Homeopathy does not believe in treating skin disease by using lotions or cream. Homeopathy believes that if you treat skin disease by using external lotions, you are actually going to ‘suppress’ or ‘mask’ the disease and not ‘cure’ it.
Pumping up Immunity in COVID-19 times While the race is on to find a vaccine for COVID-19, there are plenty of steps you can take to strengthen your immune system. To help you (and your family) with this, we’ve compiled a list of key steps to take to support a healthy immune system. 1. Follow the advice........... Whatever your age While the elderly are of course more at threat of COVID-19, your immune system actually declines too. Relatively young and healthy people moreover should have a responsibility to stay protected so that they can avoid the possibility of infecting someone more vulnerable. 2. Dose up Vitamin C (and D) Certain nutrients, such as vitamins C and D have been identified as essential for improving immunity across the lifespan. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and manufactures antibody molecules required to help the body fight viruses and bacteria. Best sources are Tomato, Broccoli, Green & Red Peppers and Citrus fruits like oranges, Lime and Lemon Moreover, a good intake of Vitamin D reduces the risk of experiencing at least one respiratory infection including pneumonia within three weeks. While early morning sunlight is a natural way to get Vitamin D, supplements should be good too. 3. Exercise Regularly You can stay physically fit avoiding gyms too. In addition, it adds years to your life besides bringing a quality life. Walks after meal times should be a must. This builds lymphatic system which assists your immune cells to perform their surveillance function of moving around the body killing germs which may be trying to get inside your tissues. Though it’s not really that quick, exercises are essential to immunity as you age. Muscles make chemicals which pump our thymus gland (where immune cells are born) and help its functioning as we get older. 4. Plenty of water intake So many metabolic functions of our body depend on a good amount of water intake. Water flushes out toxins and facilitates your body in detoxifying itself thereby crucially relieving fatigue. How much water should you be drinking? • 60 kg = 2 litres •75 kg = 2.5 litres •90 kg= 3 litres •105 kg = 3.5 litres 5. De-Stress and Sleep adequate Stress disrupts the functioning of our immune system. The more you push your mind, the more nutrients your body uses up. Meditation and Mindfulness help in mitigating negative impact of stress on our lives. In fact, having adequate sleep is the key to of our whole immune power. Other lifestyle measures won’t make much of difference if there is lack of sleep. This is simply because the hormone melatonin stimulates new immune cells while we sleep.

Wondering why it would be beneficial to use Homoeopathic substances to help treat an illness or health problem if the same substance seems to also contribute to illness? The idea is that this practice helps stimulate the immune system and the body’s natural ability to heal.
