R 51 Thyreosan Drops (Thyroid Tonic) – Homeopathic Support for Mild Hyperthyroid Symptoms
When to Use R51: Core Indications
R51 is specially indicated for cases of mild thyroid excess, where symptoms may include:
- Heart palpitations or feeling of racing pulse
- Noticeable weight loss despite increased appetite
- Excessive perspiration, oily skin, heat intolerance
- Hand tremors, hyperkinesia, nervous irritability
- Digestive disturbances such as diarrhoea and metabolic unrest
It is not intended for serious thyroid disease management but can serve as a supportive adjunct or part of holistic care when guided by a healthcare provider.
Ingredients & Mechanism of Action
Dr Reckeweg R51 combines key homeopathic dilutions to address both physical symptoms and constitutional imbalance:
- Belladonna D30 – Helps calm flushed face, pulse irregularities, nervous agitation
- Iodium (Iodum) D30 – Supports thyroid gland activity and helps regulate excess iodine-related metabolism
- Lycopus virginicus D12 – Targeted for thyroid overstimulation, mitigates tremors and palpitations
- Hekla Lava D12 – Used in glandular and inflammatory thyroid disturbances
- Lapis albus D12 – Assists with metabolic sluggishness post excess, rebalances glandular tone
- Natrum muriaticum D30 – Stabilizes fluid metabolism; supports mild edema or dryness often accompanying thyroid shifts.
Together, these components offer a constitutional homeopathic approach to manage symptoms of thyroid intoxication, aiming to gently restore systemic equilibrium.

FAQs – R 51 Thyreosan Drops
- What are R 51 Thyreosan Drops used for?
Dr. Reckeweg R51 is a homeopathic thyroid support formula specifically designed to help manage mild symptoms of hyperthyroidism, also known as thyroid overactivity. It is suitable for individuals experiencing symptoms such as racing heartbeat, increased appetite with noticeable weight loss, excessive sweating, oily skin, hand tremors, digestive issues like diarrhea, and general restlessness or nervous irritability. While R51 is not intended to replace conventional medical treatment for serious thyroid diseases, it can serve as a gentle, supportive aid in holistic care when used under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
- Can R 51 Thyreosan Drops help with heart palpitations and hand tremors related to thyroid imbalance?
Yes, one of the primary benefits of R51 is its support in calming the cardiovascular and nervous system symptoms associated with mild thyroid excess. The inclusion of ingredients like Lycopus virginicus and Belladonna targets irregular heartbeat, tremors, and overall nervous excitability. Many users find that with consistent use, the intensity and frequency of palpitations and shakiness begin to ease over time.
- How should I take R 51 Thyreosan Drops for best results?
The recommended adult dosage is 5 to 10 drops, either diluted in a small amount of water or taken directly under the tongue, one to three times daily before meals. During the acute phase of symptoms—such as active palpitations or intense restlessness—the dosage may be increased in frequency to every 1–2 hours until symptoms begin to stabilize. It is essential to leave at least a 30-minute gap between taking R51 and consuming food, drink, or other medications to maintain optimal absorption.
- How long does it take to see results with R 51 Thyreosan Drops?
R51 typically works gradually, as homeopathic remedies support the body’s own regulatory systems rather than suppress symptoms instantly. Many users begin to notice subtle changes—such as a reduced sense of urgency in heartbeat, better appetite balance, or reduced hand tremors—within the first 2 to 4 weeks of regular use. Full benefits often unfold over longer use, especially when paired with lifestyle changes or professional homeopathic guidance.
- Are R 51 Thyreosan Drops safe for people with diagnosed thyroid disorders?
R51 may be used as a supportive therapy for individuals with mild thyroid imbalance; however, those with diagnosed thyroid conditions such as Graves’ disease, toxic nodular goiter, or significant thyroid eye disease should consult their endocrinologist or homeopathic physician before use. R51 is not a substitute for prescription medications like anti-thyroid drugs or hormone replacement therapy but can complement treatment in suitable cases under supervision.
- Can I use R 51 Thyreosan Drops alongside conventional thyroid medication?
Yes, R 51 Thyreosan Drops can often be used alongside allopathic thyroid medications, but it is essential to consult your doctor or healthcare provider before combining the two. Homeopathic remedies generally do not interfere with prescription drugs due to their highly diluted nature, but monitoring thyroid function and symptoms is important when using any combination therapy.
- Are R 51 Thyreosan Drops suitable for long-term use?
R 51 Thyreosan Drops are formulated for ongoing use in cases of chronic, mild hyperthyroid symptoms. As it works in harmony with the body’s systems and contains no strong chemical suppressants, it is generally safe for long-term use when taken as recommended. However, it is advisable to take regular breaks or reassess the need for continued use after every few months with your practitioner to ensure the remedy remains effective and appropriate for your current condition.
- Are there any side effects or precautions to be aware of?
Homeopathic remedies like R 51 Thyreosan Drops are typically well tolerated. However, as with any product, individual sensitivity can occur. Rarely, users may experience minor digestive upset, rash, or heightened symptoms in the early days—often considered a part of the homeopathic “aggravation” phase. If any severe symptoms emerge, such as chest pain, dizziness, excessive trembling, or overwhelming fatigue, stop taking the remedy and consult a healthcare provider immediately. Additionally, individuals sensitive to alcohol should note that R51 contains approximately 36% ethanol as a carrier.
- Can pregnant or breastfeeding women use R 51 Thyreosan Drops?
R 51 Thyreosan Drops should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding under strict medical guidance. Although homeopathic remedies are generally gentle, it is crucial to discuss all supplements and medications with a healthcare provider when pregnant or nursing to ensure safety for both mother and child.
- How should I store R 51 Thyreosan Drops to maintain its effectiveness?
To preserve its potency, R 51 Thyreosan Drops should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat sources. Always ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after use, and keep it out of the reach of children. Do not use the product if the seal is broken or if the liquid has changed in color or smell.
