Abstract Background: Goitre, the abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland, is a prevalent endocrine disorder often linked to iodine deficiency and autoimmune etiologies. Conventional therapeutic intervention involves hormonal therapies followed by surgical interventions, but long-term dependence and adverse effects have prompted investigation into complementary approaches such as Homoeopathy. Objective: To retrospectively analyse the role of individualised homoeopathic treatment in managing goitre, focusing on changes in thyroid function and symptom relief. Methods: The clinical data of 15 patients diagnosed with goitre and treated between January 2016 and December 2022 at the OPD & IPD of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College were retrospectively examined. Participants had elevated TSH levels with normal (TFT) results and clinical symptoms, using descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Most patients were between 21 and 40 years of age (40%), and all were female. The most frequently used medicines included Natrum muriaticum (33%) and Calcarea iodatum (20%). TFT improvements were observed in 53% of the subjects, 27% maintained steady results, and 20% showed regression. Clinical improvement, as assessed by Zulewski’s scoring, revealed marked progress in 13%, moderate progress in 47%, and mild progress in 33% of cases. Conclusion: The findings indicate that individualised homoeopathic management can support hormonal stabilisation and clinical improvement in goitre. Larger prospective studies with controlled methodologies are recommended for validation.
