Acupuncture cannot eliminate thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodules, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, are mainly caused by liver qi stagnation (poor qi and blood transportation of the liver, emotional depression), liver fire, liver and kidney yin deficiency (deficiency of yin in the liver and kidneys), and phlegm stagnation and blood stasis, and are related to abnormalities in the functioning of the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The function of moxibustion is to warm the meridians, belching qi and blood, and clinically it is mostly used for treating deficiency-cold diseases, such as stomach pain due to deficiency-cold of the spleen and stomach (spleen and stomach weakness and cold), and lumbago due to deficiency of yang, so moxibustion can’t eliminate thyroid nodules. Patients who want to get rid of thyroid nodules should go to the hospital and ask the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment after a detailed examination. If the nodules are benign, they can be treated through follow-up observation and thyroid hormone suppression therapy; if they are malignant, they can be treated through surgical removal under the guidance of the doctor. For patients with thyroid nodules, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and standardize the treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
