Do you wake up tired, struggle to lose weight despite eating healthy, or feel mentally foggy and emotionally flat?
If so, your thyroid β the small butterfly-shaped gland in your neck β might be underactive.
Hypothyroidism happens when your thyroid doesnβt produce enough thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), slowing down metabolism and affecting nearly every system in your body.
Instead of rushing to replace hormones synthetically, homeopathy focuses on awakening and regulating your thyroidβs natural function, addressing not just the gland, but the deeper emotional and metabolic causes behind the imbalance.
