- Endocrinology is the
study of hormone-producing glands like thyroid, pituitary,
pancreas, ovaries, etc.
- Hormones
regulate vital functions such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and
mood.
- This
chapter explains how homoeopathy can treat endocrine disorders by stimulating
the vital force and balancing hormonal functions.
1. Role of Homoeopathy in
Endocrine Disorders
- Homoeopathy
treats the root cause, not just the hormone level.
- Works by:
- Regulating
glandular activity
- Stimulating
the vital force
- Balancing
mind-body connection
- Remedies
are selected based on individualization and totality of symptoms.
