Effective management of subclinical hypothyroidism using herbal medicines and lifestyle modifications: A case report

• Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is managed with herbal medicine & lifestyle changes in this case report. • 3-month use of Habbe Muqil, Majoon Falasafa, cinnamon and coriander tea and brisk walk showed results. • Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone dropped from 11.25 µIU/mL to 3.034 µIU/mL, with weight reduction. • Findings suggest need for more research on integrative SCH treatments. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is characterized by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels with normal free thyroid hormones, often remaining asymptomatic. The management of SCH remains controversial, particularly in patients who do not exhibit overt symptoms. This case report explores the effectiveness of an integrative approach combining herbal medicines and lifestyle modifications in managing SCH. A 35-year-old asymptomatic female patient presented with elevated TSH (11.25 µIU/mL) and normal T3 and T4 levels. The patient was treated with a combination of Habbe Muqil and Majoon Falasafa , along with dietary modifications, cinnamon and coriander tea, and regular brisk walking. After three months of treatment, the patient's TSH level decreased significantly to 3.034 µIU/mL, indicating a positive response to the treatment regimen. This case highlights the potential benefits of Unani medicine and lifestyle interventions in managing subclinical hypothyroidism.
