Treatment of Hyperthyroidism/Graves’ Disease

Hyperthyroidism is said to be a common disease in women, and even those who are notable, such as Ayaka, Masako Natsume, Hiromi Iwasaki, Kakuei Tanaka, and Keiko Masuda (without honorifics) are said to have been Bassedou’s disease.
Actually, there are a lot of ratios that the woman takes even in the general public.
However, Yoshiki of X JAPAN has also been announced to have hyperthyroidism/Graves’ disease, and even men may also suffer from hyperthyroidism/Graves’ disease.

Causes of Hyperthyroidism/Graves’ Disease

It is believed to be an autoimmune disease, but the exact cause of the disease is not yet known.
It is said that there is a genetic element, too.

When you think about it in Oriental medicine, it is considered to be a runaway of the Qi, so I think that it is a disease that is easy for people who work too hard to become it.

Treatment policy for hyperthyroidism/Graves’ disease

In Western medicine, there are methods such as taking antithyroid drugs, breaking thyroid cells by isotope (radioactive iodine), and cutting the thyroid gland by surgery.
However, there are some people who have side effects and become vasculitis or nephritis due to taking antithyroid drugs, and there is a risk that isotope treatment or surgery will lead to hypothyroidism and become a body that requires a hormone drug called chillaedin for the rest of your life.

On the other hand, when we think about oriental medicine, we think of it as a runaway.
It is thought that it is caused by mental stress, excessive hard work, irritation, and an overdose of food and drink which cannot be metabolized.
Therefore, because it is “tree = liver” from the yin and yang gosei theory, it operates so as to pull out “heat of the liver” and “heat of the heart” that it causes.

Because there are many people who work too hard and develop the disease, and there are people who have a fever in the liver because their eating habits are disturbed, they all become treatments while consulting about the stress conditions of their diet, lifestyle, and work.

If Graves’ disease is left untreated, it is necessary to deal with atrial fibrillation and myocardial disorders, sometimes causing heart failure and life-threatening diseases, so it is necessary to deal with them early.
