Endocrinology and the scope of homeopathy: An integrative approach to hormonal health

Abstract

Endocrine disorders such as diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal insufficiency, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) are becoming increasingly prevalent in modern society. While allopathic treatments offer symptomatic relief and hormonal replacement, they often require lifelong medication and may not address the underlying causes of dysfunction. Homeopathy, a holistic system of medicine based on the principle of "like cures like", offers a patient-specific approach aiming to stimulate the body's natural healing response. This article explores the scope of homeopathy in managing endocrine disorders, highlights common remedies, and presents an integrative outlook combining both conventional and alternative systems for comprehensive endocrine care.
