Chief Physician Zhang Zhenyu's Experience in Treating Hashimoto's Thyroiditis by Restoring Balance
The incidence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis has remained high in recent years.Although modern studies have clarified the pathological features of this disease,there is a lack of targeted drugs.In addition,there is no direct evidence proving that the current medications can block the progression of this disease,or specifically changes the pathological characteristics,or showcase obvious effect in the long treatment period.Chief physician Zhang Zhenyu believes that the etiology of goiter is actually lies in the emotion,diet,water,soil,and zang-fu organ qi movement disorders and the deficiency of healthy qi,which result in qi stagnation,phlegm coagulation,and blood stasis in the neck.Accordingly,the methods of restoring balance,i.e.,balancing yin and yang,harmonizing zang-fu organs,and regulating qi and blood,should be adopted.From the spleen and liver,the specific treatment methods include invigorating spleen and soothing liver to nourish zang-fu organs and regulating qi movement and resolving phlegm to dissipate mass.Modified Banxia Houpo Decoction combined with Xiaochaihu Decoction is commonly used,demonstrating definite effects in the long-term clinical treatment.
