Abstract:Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine and metabolic disease, which belongs to the category of “goiter disease” in traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine currently uses 131I, antithyroid drugs, surgical resection, etc. as the main methods of treatment for hyperthyroidism, but with potential serious side effects and the risk of recurrence or persistent hyperthyroidism, which often become the important factors to limit the therapeutic effect of this disease.

He believes that the cause of hyperthyroidism is closely related to mood, and liver depression and qi stagnation are the important reasons for the occurrence and development of this disease. Starting from the liver, “facilitating the stagnant wood”, soothing the liver, clearing the liver, calming the liver, nourishing the liver, maintaining the smooth of qi movement, in order to “achieve it”.
