Emerging therapeutic role of Prunella vulgaris in thyroid disease
2022 Jul Chinese Herbal Medicines Zhang W, Wuhan Q, Na M, Hu R, Mu Q, Bao X
Herbs such as P. vulgaris have great potential for treating thyroid disorders owing to their anti-oxidation and immunological effects and are frequently used as ingredients in herbal recipes. P. vulgaris is thought to combat drug toxicity within the body, therefore its own active ingredients have attracted much attention. The use of P. vulgaris with other drugs resulted in significant elimination of swollen nodules, reduced inflammatory response, and improved thyroid function. These effects of P. vulgaris benefit the clinical treatment of thyroid disease while having reduced drug-induced side effects and improved therapeutic effects. However, with only a few studies presenting treatment with Prunella vulgaris alone, further investigation is needed to to explore the physiological mechanisms.

2021 Oct 15 Medicine Han Q, Xu N, Chen B, Wu W, Sheng L
PV combined with levothyroxine sodium tablets or thyroxin tablets has more benefits for thyroid nodules, further improving the clinical efficiency, reducing the diameter of nodules and reducing the occurrence of adverse reactions. However, the quality of these studies is uncertain, and higher quality and more RCTs are needed to provide comprehensive evidence-based medical evidence in the future.

As for the hyperthyroidism almost was controlled by Western medicine instead of CHM, we report that JWXYS as well as Prunella vulgaris, Fritillaria thunbergii, and Crassostrea gigas was a safe and effective formula and we propose that CHM may be considered as either a first choice or combination therapy to control hyperthyroidism.
