Hashimoto thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disease. The thyroid function of early patients can be within the normal range, but hyperthyroidism can also occur, that is, Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism. With the development of the disease, the thyroid gland is destroyed and the reserve function is gradually reduced. When the thyroid gland is destroyed to a certain extent, hypothyroidism gradually appears, that is, Hashimoto hypothyroidism.

Modern medical treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis is still limited, and the effect is not ideal in reducing anti-thyroglobulin antibody, anti-thyroid microsomal antibody and anti-peroxide antibody. Traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in treating this disease, which can be adjusted from the local lesions and systemic symptoms of patients as a whole. Besides medication, Chinese medicine also emphasizes mental adjustment, reasonable arrangement of life and work, and reasonable diet. If hyperthyroidism occurs, the diet should be light and eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and nutritious lean meat, chickens, ducks, turtles, freshwater fish, mushrooms, tremella, lilies, mulberries and other foods. Avoid iodine, peppers, mutton, strong tea, coffee and other hot and humid or irritating foods. If there is hypothyroidism, in addition to avoiding iodine, you should also eat fresh vegetables and fruits with high vitamin content, as well as shrimp, sea cucumber, walnut meat, medlar, yam, Euryale ferox and other foods.
