Abstract: Hypothyroidism is a prevalent endocrine disorder caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormones, manifesting as fatigue, weight gain, depression, and menstrual irregularities.This case series examines the efficacy of Pulsatilla, a homeopathic remedy, in managing hypothyroidism through individualized treatment.Three patients with confirmed hypothyroidism, diagnosed by clinical symptoms and elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, were treated with a single dose of Pulsatilla 200C, selected based on their unique constitutional traits.Patients were monitored over six months, with regular evaluations of clinical symptoms and TSH levels.All showed marked improvements in energy levels, mood, and menstrual regularity, accompanied by normalization of TSH levels within three to six months.No adverse effects were reported, and no additional treatments were required during the observation period.This series underscores the potential of individualized homeopathic interventions using Pulsatilla in hypothyroidism management.It emphasizes the need for larger-scale studies with controlled methodologies to further validate these findings and explore homeopathy's role as a complementary or alternative treatment for thyroid disorders.
