Homeopathy For Thyroid Problems

While fatigue and slower metabolism are widely known as being associated with hypothyroidism, you may also experience several other lesser-known symptoms and 'sweating on the head' is one of them. Calcarea Carbonica is one of the most effective homeopathic medications, which not only combat the symptom but also treat the underlying cause of the problem.

In Grave's disease, the thyroid gland tends to go into an overactive mode and thus cause metabolism to rise very quickly. You may feel an increased appetite but still continue to lose weight. You may also feel severe heart palpitations even with slight exertion. Lodum and Lycopus Virginicus are two of the best homeopathic medications to treat this problem.

Menstrual problems often come along with thyroid issues. With hypothyroidism, a woman's menses may come too early and there may be too much bleeding as well. You may also feel more pain than usual in your pelvic area. Sepia Officinalis is a very effective medication in controlling the menstrual problems caused by hypothyroidism and can also effectively relieve menstrual pain.

Goiter is the swelling of the thyroid gland due to hyperthyroidism. The enlargement of the gland which is located near the throat can actually cause constriction of the trachea and result in breathing problems such as wheezing and shortness of breath. Homeopathy has some effective medications to treat and lessen goiter. Medicines like Fucus Vesiculosus, Lycopodium Clavatum, Calcarea Lodata and Lycopodium Clavatum are few of the most common ones.
