hello doc,
My husband has thyroid problem for last one year. earlier he was taking some alopathic medicine but now from Nov.'04 he has started taking homeopathic treatment. Earlier Dr. gave him Nux Vomica but now in Jan'05 as he was still feeling some problems Dr. gave him BARYTA SULPHURICA. I will really appreciate if you could please tell me something about this medicine.
regards,
