Hyperthyroidism mostly occurs in young people aged 20-40, with more women than men, especially pregnant women and lactating women.
The main manifestation of hyperthyroidism is weakness, which mostly occurs in the afternoon. I have a good appetite, but my weight is getting lighter every day. Quick-tempered, quick-moving, active and talkative.
Fear of heat, easy to sweat, wet palms and shaking hands. The heartbeat is accelerated (more than 0/00 beats per minute/kloc), facial flushing, and the eyeball is often prominent.
Women can also see less menstrual blood and even amenorrhea.
Traditional Chinese medicine classifies hyperthyroidism as a "hundred diseases". As early as the Warring States period, scabies were recorded. Ganjinyaofang in Tang Dynasty recorded 10 therapeutic prescriptions, most of which were iodine-containing drugs such as seaweed and kelp.
According to the main clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism, generally speaking, supplementing qi and nourishing yin, resolving phlegm and resolving hard mass are the main treatment principles.
Medicine: Radix Astragali, Radix Codonopsis, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Rehmanniae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Trichosanthis Radix, Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, Manicure, Prunellae Spica and Rhizoma Cyperi Preparata are the basic prescriptions.
① For those with obvious exophthalmos, Fructus Lycii, Semen Sinapis Albae, Cortex Lycii, Fructus Tribuli and concha arcae can be added as appropriate.
② For palpitation and insomnia patients, Dragon Tooth, Concha Margarita, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Cortex et Radix Polygalae and Semen Platycladi can be added to soothe the nerves and nourish blood.
③ People who are impatient and irritable can use Radix Gentianae, Fructus Gardeniae preparata and Cortex Moutan to clear liver and purge fire.
(4) If there are symptoms of finger tremor, concha Haliotidis, Uncaria and Tribulus terrestris should be added to calm the liver and calm the wind.
⑤ For patients who are still hungry after eating a lot, gypsum and berberine can be added to clear stomach fire.
⑥ Atractylodis Rhizoma, Poria and Coicis Semen are added for patients with spleen-stomach disorder and loose stool.
I have studied hundreds of empirical prescriptions for treating hyperthyroidism and found that the basic medication rules are as follows:
