Abstract：Abdominal Acupuncture(AA)is a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)characteristic therapy guided by TCM holographic theory,and it demonstrates significant efficacy in treating chronic systemic diseases.This article presents a test case of AA applied to hyperthyroidism and proposes a diagnostic and therapeutic approach integrating anatomical localization with TCM syndrome differentiation.Targeting the complex syndromes of hyperthyroidism—including liver fire hyperactivity,heart yin deficiency,and spleen deficiency with dampness accumulation,A A treatment primarily focuses on nourishing yin to clear heat,soothing the liver and fortifying the spleen,and nourishing the liver to calm the heart,meanwhile,the treatment is combined with selecting acupoints based on abdominal holographic mapping to locally target the affected viscera.This comprehensive treatment approach addresses both root causes and symptoms and achieves remarkable therapeutic effects.This case introduces the characte-ristics and advantages of AA in the treatment of hyperthyroidism,inspiring new thoughts on the appli-cation of TCM holographic theory in the treatment of chronic systemic diseases with modern characteristic therapies of TCM.
