TCM Perspective On Graves' Disease

Graves' disease was originally known as "exophthalmic goiter" but is now named after Sir Robert Graves, who first described the condition in 1835.

The disease affects the thyroid gland, which is the butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck just below the Adam's apple. It is a critical component of the endocrine system, and regulates a person's metabolism by releasing hormones into the bloodstream.

Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder, and the most common one of its kind in the US. An autoimmune disorder is the body's immune system mistakenly identifying healthy cells as foreign invaders and attacking them. As a result of this, the thyroid gland overproduces hormones, which go on to affect various aspects of the body.
