Weight Gain, Thinning Of Eyebrows And Hair, Depression, Cold Intolerance. History Of Hypothyroidism And Bilateral Knee Osteoarthritis. Any Homeopathic Treatment?

Dear Dr.,
I am interested in homeopathy for treatment of subclinical thyroid disease; symptoms involve weight gain, thinning of eyebrows, coarseness and thinning of hair and increased facial hair, along with increased cold intolerance and emotional depression and lethargy. I understand as a 45 yo female, some of this may be pre or perimenopausal, but would like to know if homeopathic treatment might help rebalance thyroid hormones. I do have a history of postpartum hypothyroidism and bilateral knee osteoarthritis.
Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Since you are in perimenopausal age and also history of hypothyroidism, I suggest you to check your thyroid profile once along with complete hemogram. The symptoms of weight gain, thinning of eyebrows and hair, depression, cold intolerance, lethargy all suggest hypothyroidism..Emotional depression and lethargy may be due to perimenopausal symptom. If we rule out hypothyroidism then can think of others. So get done investigation and if found hypo then need to take hormone replacement for thyroid. Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.

Hi
Thanks for using HCM.
Yes,Homeopathic treatment will help you for balancing thyroid harmone. I would like to suggest to find good homeopath nearby and start your treatment.
Meanwhile you can do many things to support your thyroid gland . Eating wholesome food and working out structured manner will help you to shed those extra fat.
Improve intake of iodine rich food and eat small meal 2 hourly rather than having big meals and starve between them.
Exercise should be integral part of your daily routine..
All the best..
