Treatment of Hashimoto thyroiditis by strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi from the view of intestinal flora
Hashimoto thyroiditis(HT)is a clinically common autoimmune thyroid disease.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)often treats HT from the spleen,and the principle of treatment is to strengthen the spleen and replenish qi.Modern research showed that intestinal flora imbalance can stimulate immune response and induce HT.The"spleen"by TCM is very similar to the intestinal flora in physiological function and pathological manifestations.Many studies have shown that TCM formulas for invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi can improve the imbalance of intestinal flora,regulate the structure and diversity of intestinal flora,correct the imbalanced proportion of probiotics to harmful bacteria,maintain the dynamic balance of intestinal flora,and regulate the metabolisms of the body.This article discussed modem scientific mechanisms of treating HT from the spleen from the perspective of intestinal flora,in order to provide more theoretical basis for treating HT with traditional Chinese medicine.
