Resumen
This present paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the floral essence of Red Gentian (Gentianella cernua) in patients with hypothyroidism diagnosis of Andean Hospital. We chose 45 volunteer patients assisted by the endocrinologist who were informed about the informed consent. A survey was also carried out to determine their mood and emotional condition. The main solution of the Red Gentian flowers was given by Poder de Vida Alternative Therapy Cooperative located in Riobamba city. From this solution, the flower essence was prepared in a hydroalcoholic solution up to 20% while placebo consisted on a hydroalcoholic solution up to 20%. An experimental completely randomized design was used to classify the patients and form three groups with 15 patients each one. The first group was treated with Levothyroxine and Red Gentian, the second group with Levothyroxine and placebo and the third group treaded with Red Gentian. Each treatment consisted on a dosage of 4 drops sublingual three times a day during a month. We took blood samples to determine the initial and final values of hormones T4 and TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) to tabulate the data with Excel 2016 and SPSS 18. The results showed that there is no difference meaningfully among these treatments for TSH levels. For T4 values there are meaningful differences between treatment two (levothyroxine and placebo) regarding to the other ones. This result shows the activity of the flower essence of Red Gentian.
