Abstract
A condition where there is elevated level of TSH and normal T4 and T3 levels is defined as
subclinical hypothyroidism. Several studies showed that 4% to 8.5% of the individuals without
known previous thyroid disease may actually have subclinical hypothyroidism as it was
evidenced by the mildly elevated TSH level. TCM has a holistic view on the development of the
diagnostic methods and treatmentstrategies for every patient individually. The purpose of the
treatment is to help the individual’s body ability to awaken to naturally heal itself.In this article
is reported a case of a 49 year old woman diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to high levels of
TSH. The diagnosis was made shortly before the acupuncture treatment began. The patient
wasn’t taking any additional medication therapy. 18 acupuncture treatments were made starting
from 07.07.2018 to 20.03.2020. Before the treatment the TSH level was increased above the
normal rate (5.31 mUI/ml) and after the treatment the TSH level was normalized (3.39 mUI/ml).
Acupuncture is an effective treatment for patients with hypothyroidism due to high level of TSH.
The treatment can effectively regulate the energy in the body and restore the hormonal balance
and the balance of the endocrine system.
