How effective is the use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat hyperthyroidism?

Patient's question:

My friend has been feeling unwell recently, so he went to the hospital for a routine and thorough examination. The doctor found that he suffers from hyperthyroidism, so he wants to specifically understand how effective traditional Chinese medicine is in treating hyperthyroidism.

Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese medicine also has a certain effect in treating. Tamoxifen has anti-thyroid drug treatment. Conventional treatment requires 2 years or even longer. Some patients choose iodine-131 radiotherapy to achieve a rapid therapeutic effect. However, the dosage of iodine-131 is difficult to control. An insufficient dose may lead to the onset of hyperthyroidism, while an excessive dose may cause thyroid tissue destruction and iodine-131-induced hypothyroidism. According to your description, iodine-131 treatment is indeed unreliable, as even a slight mistake can result in lifelong hypothyroidism. Inhibiting the activity of thyroid cells, balancing thyroid secretion function, and enhancing the immune function of the body, it has no side effects, takes effect quickly, and helps patients break free from the vicious cycle of multiple recurrences of hyperthyroidism, drug withdrawal, and drug stability.
