I have been a doctor for more than 40 years and have been treated for hyperthyroidism for more than 20 years, and many patients come to me because they are afraid of Saizhi and iodine-131. Everyone knows that Saizhi has a great impact on the liver and kidneys, and also knows the side effects of iodine-131.
Therefore, when many patients see me, they will ask: Can I stop taking Saizhi? Is it good or not?
Of course, it is useful, but it can only be said to be used for emergency relief, because its original intention is to temporarily relieve your discomfort, and if you want to cure the disease, then it will not work.
So what exactly is hyperthyroidism?
In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, we classify it as a "thin disease", and it can also be said that it is not a disease, but because the liver fire is too strong. For example, those who have used a pot at home should know that it is like there is a lot of firewood, and it is not cleaned up in time, and it is hot.
Therefore, to treat hyperthyroidism, you can't just stare at the neck, the key is to find the "root of the disease"! Tell me a little story and you'll understand.
Some time ago, there was a patient with hyperthyroidism, Ms. Liu, 44 years old.
She has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism for more than 2 years, and her weight has dropped from 118 pounds to 80 pounds at the beginning.
At that time, as soon as she came up, she said: Director Li, I feel that my body is collapsed, but I just fall in love with fire, and I can't suppress it, what should I do?
When asked, she usually not only gets irritable and flustered, loves to lose her temper, but also often gets dizzy, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and loves to sweat. I haven't broken my mouth to eat, my weight is brushing, and my mouth is dry but I can't drink water.
At that time, I told her: the tongue is light, there is little moss, there are tooth marks on the side, and the pulse is thin and thin, and the next thing we have to solve is the problem of liver stagnation and fire, qi and yin injuries, and phlegm and qi in your body!
Selection:
Codonopsis, Ophiopogon vulgaris, Schisandra chinensis, Scrophularia radix, Oysters, Fritillaria, Prunella vulgaris, White peony, Mulberry, Prunella vulgaris, melon, licorice.
At that time, the effect was very fast, and within 7 days, Ms. Liu felt that her body was flustered, irritable, and sweating a lot, but she also had a dry mouth and shortness of breath, and added astragalus and jade bamboo to her.
After more than 2 months, Ms. Liu reported that her symptoms disappeared and her physical condition recovered.
When the liver is vigorous, the body is manifested as qi stagnation and phlegm coagulation, blood congestion is blocked, and it cannot be metabolized normally, which is a long and complex process.
Many patients say that my prescription is too simple, just a few herbs, and I finish it in a few days.
I often say: there are not many squares, but refinement, and it is good to use it correctly. The situation of patients at each stage is also different, I often look at your situation, adjust and adjust, reduce and stop, the main purpose is to hope that everyone can hurry up!
With more than 40 years of clinical practice, which is already retirement age, I can say that I have not been sorry for any of my patients.
They told me that when they got better, our joy was the same, and for me, it was the greatest treasure!
