Abstract:
To summarize the clinical experience of the diagnosis and treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis based on the theory of "loss of nourishment in bright essence". It is believed that damages of the seven emotions and loss of nourishment in bright essence are the root cause of Hashimoto's thyroiditis， so the overall therapeutic principle was proposed as fortifying brain and tranquillizing mind. For patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis combined with hypothyroidism， the self-prescribed Jiaan Mixture Formula （甲安合剂） with modification is used to fortify brain and tranquillize mind， emolliate the liver and nourish the kidneys； for patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis combined with hyperthyroidism， the self-prescribed Xinnao Kang Formula （心脑康） with modification is used to fortify brain and tranquillize mind， boost qi， invigorate blood， and unblock the collaterals； and for patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis combined with nodularity， the self-prescribed Xiaopi Shu Formula （消癖舒） with modification is used to boost qi and nourish yin， and invigorate blood and dissipate masses.
