How does TCM view {condition_name}?
TCM views Hashimoto's hypothyroidism as Spleen Qi deficiency, Kidney Yang deficiency, and Liver Qi stagnation that create immune dysregulation and metabolic imbalance affecting thyroid function.
Hashimoto's hypothyroidism is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to slowed metabolism with symptoms like persistent fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and mood changes. At Qin's Clinic, we offer supportive Traditional Chinese Medicine care to help balance immune function, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being as a complement to conventional thyroid treatment.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Hashimoto's hypothyroidism is often linked to Spleen Qi deficiency, Kidney Yang deficiency, and Liver Qi stagnation that disrupts hormonal balance and immune function. These imbalances can be triggered by emotional stress, poor diet, and chronic inflammation that create internal disharmony affecting both metabolism and immune regulation.
