As the saying goes, "If the liver is not well, life is in black and white," so it is crucial to take hepatitis prevention seriously. Chronic hepatitis is quite prevalent in Taiwan, with most cases resulting from the delay of acute hepatitis leading to chronic hepatitis, even cirrhosis or liver cancer. Patients often experience bitter taste in the mouth, halitosis, fatigue, and jaundice. In mild cases, the condition can only be detected through test data, while severe cases, such as cirrhosis, may manifest as hepatosplenomegaly, spider angiomas, edema, costal pain, and even menstrual irregularities or leukorrhea in women. This book aims to integrate Chinese and Western medicine, complementing each other without regard to specialty boundaries, and selecting the best approaches. It reveals the treasures of traditional Chinese medicine while adding modern techniques. Under the advantages of this unified treatment trend for hepatitis, it is believed that this book can open new perspectives for healthcare professionals and provide them with selection methods.
