[Abstract] Professor Lu Hao’s clinical treatment of goiter based on the principle of “invigorating spleen, promoting yang, and purging yin” embodies Li Dongyuan’s academic viewpoint that “all diseases are caused by spleen and stomach failure”. Professor Lu believes that the internal injury of spleen and stomach is common in patients with goiter, which is often caused by poor mood, poor diet, and imbalance between work and rest. The pathogenesis of goiter lies in spleen and stomach weakness in middle jiao, insufficiency of middle qi, imbalance of qi movement. After a long time of illness, the consumption of yin blood leads to upward floating of deficient fire. Professor Lu establishs a system of syndrome differentiation and treatment of goiter based on Piwei Lun. He pays attention to care for spleen and stomach vitality, regulate qi movement, purge yin fire, restoring normal coordination between heart and kidney, and harmonize yin and yang, which was flexible in clinical practice. His system of syndrome differentiation and treatment has achieved good clinical effect. This article introduces Professor Lu’s clinical experience in the treatment of goiter.
