Is there any way to treat hypothyroidism. In allopathy treatment is already going but they say I have to continue it for lifetime. I take thyroxine 100 every morning. Is there anything I could do to re activate my thyroid gland and cure from hypothyroidism. Pls help.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I think I have already answered this yesterday. Hypothyroidism is a hormone deficiency disease, where your thyroid gland is not producing the essential hormone thyroxine. This hormone is required for day to day metabolic activities plus brain functioning and to maintain body temperature. So it has to be supplemented every day for lifetime. There is no other option There is no way to activate the gland. Thanks.
