Abstract
This study is to summarize Professor Pei’s experience in treating hypothyroidism. Professor Pei has been engaged in clinical endocrinology for more than 30 years and has unique insights into hypothyroidism. She believes that the disease is caused by liver depression, phlegm binding, yin deficiency, and fire effulgence. The basic principles of treatment are regulating Qi movement and harmonizing viscera. During treatment, the emphasis is on the influence of emotions on the disease. Both the liver and spleen should be given equal attention and the medication should be mild with balanced cold and heat.
