Abstract

The increasing prevalence of hypothyroidism, which can cause endocrine dysfunction, abnormal neurological function, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular injuries, poses serious health problems. Thyroid hormone supplementation constitutes the current main therapeutic method for hypothyroidism, yet it has many limitations and risks and is not suitable for everyone. Therefore, it is necessary to seek alternative and complementary treatment methods. It has been proven in practice that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) possesses multi-channel comprehensive characteristics for the treatment of hypothyroidism and has more advantages than single thyroid hormone supplementation. Through a comprehensive examination of existing literature about TCM efficacy in addressing hypothyroidism, we have meticulously consolidated the most recent research findings on prescriptions and herbal substances employed in the treatment of this condition. Furthermore, we have explicated their respective functions in the management of hypothyroidism, thereby offering valuable perspectives and recommendations for the prospective utilization of natural remedies in its treatment.
