Results are observed within four to six months whereby TSH levels reduce. Patients who are on thyroid supplement may take time to reduce the supplement, keeping a watch on the thyroid hormone levels. Treatment of Underactive Thyroid is long term.
Role of Homeopathy in Hyperthyroidism:

The homeopathic medicines are natural medicines and intend to get the functioning of the thyroid up to the normal levels.
