An 11-year-old girl from Mumbai, Ms. S. K. (PIN: 43059) started treatment from Life Force Homeopathy for the complaint of an underactive thyroid on 18th June 2020.
The patient visited our clinic for the treatment of her Vitiligo. She started treatment for vitiligo, and we advised her to get her thyroid profile and other vitamins tests done as a routine investigation. The results of these tests revealed that she got TSH levels on the higher side, and she was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. She had no symptoms related to thyroid disorder, as it was just in the initial stage. She was prescribed medicines both for vitiligo as well as an underactive thyroid.
Physical Generals:
The patient had an average appetite. She loved eating spicy food and she had a strong aversion to fruits. Her thirst for water was normal. She had no issues related to the urine and stool. Her sleep was sound and refreshing.
Psychological and Family Make-Up:
The patient was studying in school. Her father and mother were working in the IT sector. The patient was very emotional and sensitive.
Self and Family’s Medical History:
The patient had no major illnesses in the past. Her mother was suffering from an underactive thyroid.
At Life Force:
After studying the case in detail, Dr. Shah prescribed some research-based homeopathic medicines to the patient.
Follow-Ups:
On 5th December 2020, the parents of the patient updated that she was stable with the homeopathic medicines. She had repeated her thyroid profile as advised, and her TSH was in the normal range now. She was not taking any other medicines besides homeopathy. The patient’s parents were very happy with the results.
On 24th April 2021, the patient’s parents reported that their child had no symptoms affecting her. They had repeated tests for TSH levels, and they were within the normal limits. The patient had experienced an overall recovery with the medicines.
On 14th November 2021, the patient’s parents reported that TSH was within the normal limit even this time. Since the beginning of our homeopathic treatment, her thyroid levels came within normal limits without any other medicine. She is also gradually improving in her recovery from vitiligo.
The patient and her parents thanked Dr. Shah and the whole Life Force team for treating their child and improving her health. She is still under treatment to finish the complete course of medicines.
