Twin Shields Formula

Modern Chinese medicine tends to oversimplify thyroid treatments into yin deficiency (hyperthyroid) and yang deficiency (hypothyroid). But consignment of the thyroid to simply a matter of sufficiency of kidney resources is an oversimplification that rarely serves the patient. Most of the clues from the classics for how to approach a thyroid issue are hidden within discussions on chronic throat disorders. This monograph course reviews how this modern formula can be used to address both hypo- and hyper-thyroid disorders and accompanying patterns.
