A clinical syndrome known as hypothyroidism occurs due to a shortage of thyroid hormone
as a result of decreased production, abnormal distribution, or no action of thyroid hormones. The
most typical clinical symptoms included are dry skin, hair loss, weight gain, painful-prolonged periods, infertility, balance problems, slow speech, bradycardia, hypothermia, fatigue, anxiety & depression, joint pain, and indigestion. Basically, age, gender, the severity of the ailment, and a few other
factors affect the various signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. The limitations of allopathic modalities necessitate the investigation of alternative treatment options. Future healthcare initiatives for
the poor world will increasingly depend on CAM approaches to these concerns because lifestyle, diet,
obesity, lack of exercise, and stress are significant contributing factors to the development of hypothyroidism. This review's objective is to provide information on herbs as well as complementary and
alternative medications which are grouped into five major domains: Biologically Based therapies,
Manipulative body-based therapies, Mind body-based therapies, and the whole Medical system.
These have traditionally been used to treat thyroid dysfunction. The distribution of diseases in emerging nations is altering as a result of globalization. Hence the existing and potential roles of CAM
techniques in the general practice of medicine are illustrated in these approaches. Scientists are being
compelled to consider traditional herbal medical treatments and CAM therapy in order to combat
adverse medication occurrences, high treatment costs, and compliance problems thus described in
this review paper.
