The mainclinical manifestation of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the agglomerateenlargement located on both sides of the anterior larynx, serumanti-thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)continuous positive is important basis for the diagnosis of the disease. TCMthinks the disease etiology and pathogenesis is mainly of modern internalinjuries, the water quality of the living environment is unhealthy, irregularand unhealthy diet, physical factors, these factors lead to pathogenic productssuch as blood stasis,qi stagnation and phlegm stay in the anteriorportion,resulting in the occurrence of the disease.
