ABSTRACT

Hyperthyroidism belongs to the category of 'gall qi' and 'gall disease' in traditional Chinese medicine. The pathogenesis of hyperthyroidism is mainly 'qi', 'phlegm' and 'fire', which is a specific autoimmune disease. Its long course of disease, many complications and increasing incidence year by year are closely related to people's physique, living standards and living habits. In the long-term accumulation, the thought of 'preventive treatment of disease' in traditional Chinese medicine has gradually developed and improved. The concept of prevention before disease, regulating health preservation, preventing disease from changing, securing the place without evil and preventing recurrence after cure has a good effect on the prevention and treatment of hyperthyroidism.
