There are various traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) for regulating endocrine disorders, and treatment must be based on syndrome differentiation according to specific symptoms and individual constitution. Common categories of TCMs include:
1. Liver-qi regulating herbs: Such as Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills and Chaihu Shugan Pills. These are suitable for endocrine disorders caused by dysfunction in the liver's regulatory functions, such as menstrual irregularities.
2. Kidney-yin nourishing herbs: Such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Zuo Gui Pills, and Zhibai Dihuang Pills. These are suitable for endocrine disorders caused by kidney-yin deficiency, presenting symptoms such as heat in the palms and soles, night sweats, tidal fever, irritability, and insomnia.
3. Holistic regulatory herbs: Such as Wujibai Feng Pills, Danggui Pills, and Yiqi Yangxue Oral Liquid. These medications holistically regulate qi and blood, improving multiple symptoms caused by endocrine disorders.
The use of TCM should be conducted under the guidance of a physician to avoid self-medication.
