Graves’ Disease
What is Graves’ Disease
In homeopathy, Graves’ disease is seen as an autoimmune overactivity of the thyroid gland, where the body’s vital energy is overstimulated, causing the thyroid to produce too much hormone.
Homeopathy views this as an excited vital force, often linked with emotional stress, restlessness, and over-sensitivity. The aim is to calm the gland, regulate metabolism, and restore balance naturally rather than suppress symptoms.
कारण
1. Autoimmune trigger – the body mistakenly attacks itself, stimulating thyroid.
2. Genetic predisposition – runs in families with thyroid tendencies.
3. Stress & emotional strain – anxiety, grief, or chronic stress can trigger episodes.
4. Hormonal changes – puberty, pregnancy, or postpartum period.
5. Iodine excess – from diet or medications.
6. Homeopathy view – the disease reflects disturbed vital energy and mental-emotional imbalance, which can aggravate thyroid overactivity.
लक्षण
- Enlarged thyroid (goiter), sometimes visible swelling in the neck
- Rapid heartbeat, palpitations, or irregular heartbeats
- Restlessness, anxiety, nervousness
- Exophthalmos – eyes may bulge or appear more prominent
- Weight loss despite good appetite
- Increased sweating and heat intolerance
- Tremors in hands or fingers
- Fatigue or muscle weakness
- Sleep disturbances
- Frequent bowel movements or diarrhea
- Emotional lability – mood swings, irritability
Homeopathy emphasizes that mental and emotional symptoms often appear before physical ones, so treating the patient holistically is important.
