Abstract

Thyroid diseases fall under the category of"goiter, goiter tumor, and goiter qi"in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM). The core pathogenesis primarily involves liver qi stagnation, with phlegm coagulation and blood stasis as the clinical manifestations, and spleen-kidney yang deficiency as the root cause. Qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation, and blood stasis interconnect at the cervical liver meridian pathway, accompanied by emotional stagnation, dual deficiency of qi and yin, and alternating cold and heat, constituting a common chronic visceral and meridian dysfunction disorder in clinical practice. Zhiqidao Lingli Moxibustion is grounded in TCM's holistic view and meridian theory, integrating the essence of emotional regulation to innovatively establish a systematic physiotherapy system: "energy oil acupoint massage+graphene energy patch penetration+compound moxa stick medicinal moxibustion+Wuji differentiation tablet precision energy guidance+physician-patient mental resonance+constant-temperature controlled-time deep moxibustion therapy. "This system, based on standardized physiotherapy, adheres to the principle of fixed main acupoints and syndrome-differentiated complementary points, achieving effects of"warm without scalding, penetrating without injury, precise energy accumulation, and mind-body coordination"through standardized procedures. Concurrently, it constructs a tripartite regulation plan combining moxibustion therapy, nutraceutical intervention, and healthy lifestyle correction. Moxibustion is administered in three progressive treatment courses, while nutraceutical intervention employs a fixed foundation of"Ganqing Bao+Changwei Bao+Shenqin Bao"combined with syndrome-differentiated matching, supplemented by lifestyle correction and health exercise guidance. This multidimensional approach addresses core pathogenic mechanisms to achieve regulatory goals such as soothing liver qi and activating blood circulation to resolve stasis. This article systematically explores its academic theory and physiotherapy system, providing comprehensive academic support and practical references for external TCM treatment of thyroid diseases, as well as novel insights for complementary regulation between TCM and Western medicine.
