Hashimoto’s thyroiditis can be divided into early, middle and late stages of Chinese medicine. In the early stage, most of the patients with liver stagnation and qi and yin deficiency can be treated by draining liver and qi, benefiting qi and nourishing yin, as well as eliminating carbuncles and dissipating knots; in the middle stage, most of the patients with phlegm and blood stasis are treated by removing phlegm and activating blood, softening and dispersing knots; in the late stage, most of the patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency are treated by warming the spleen and kidney. The advantages of Chinese medicine in treating Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are that it can improve clinical symptoms through evidence-based treatment, regulate the functions of internal organs and immune function, and make the thyroid antibodies turn negative, thus alleviating the development of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
