Conclusion –
With proper homeopathic treatment we can restore the patient back to health. We can not only give relief but we can also reduce the allopathic medications and eventually we can free the patient from medication.
This is very good case.but I little astonishing about ur follow up, Patients who suffer from thyroid since 1 year and also taking thyronom 100 mg since 1 year.this type case, single dose effect this level. Though very well case..
