Adenomatous Hyperplasia of thyroid

Are you a trained professional? If so, what is her tongue and pulse indicate and what is your overall diagnosis. If Kidney yin deficiency (very likely) you would want to add far more points for her systemically overall and not just those with deal with the goiter. If you can provide more information we can help more... If you are not well trained you should refer to someone else who can physically see her as this is not an easy condition to treat without experience.

In the short term, however, you can add some deep massage to the huatuo points at c6, c7 and t1.

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions... I will let you know overall diagnosis shortly...

I have found that there is no permanent cure for thyroid diseases and one can control symptoms with medicines... In acupuncture, is it possible to cure thyroid diseases?

I have a patient that I treat who has an MD diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. His symptoms presented as liver yang rising, with heat, yin deficiency, HT yin deficiency, as well as migraines, hypertension, constipation, insomnia and night sweats. I treat him twice a week. I use LI 11 to clear heat, the 4 gates to move qi, LU 7 (He has sinus involvement, plus LU 7 can move qi through the whole body. YinTang helps the sinusesd locally and calms the shen. ST 36 & SP 6 descend ST qi, harmonize the intestines and harmonize the LV. Ki 3 (alt w/ KI 6) tonifies yin. I use GB 39 (Master Tung&#39s YiZhong) plus ErZhong (2 c proximal to GB 39 on the GB channel) and SanZhong (2 c proximal to ErZhong.) The Three Zhongs are Master Tung&#39s specific points for hyperthyroidism--- feel for Ashi along the GB channel to find the exact location.

After four treatments the hypertension was gone, and the LV yang rising became LV heat. It&#39s been 5 weeks now, and he looks more like yin deficiency. I adjust the points according to how he presents each time, but he&#39s always Ashi on the 3 Zhongs. I chart that my recommendation is that he continue to be followed by the MD, though he is reluctant to do so.

You have to tailor the treatment for each patient, but I would definately recommend the Master Tung point set for the Hyperthyroidism.
