Major symptoms include fatigue, cold sensitivity, constipation, dry skin and unexplained weight gain. Homoeopathy has a major role in the treatment of hypothyroidism1.Acoording to Homoeopathy best medicine is the simillimum and it acts when the remedy covers the patient constitutionally i.e it is similar to the patient at mind level and physical level. Causticum was selected as the simillimum.
