Patient's question:
Trading and banquets are frequent, and even though I have cirrhosis, I still drink a little wine from time to time. After drinking, I come home in great pain. The doctor said that if I continue like this, it will only worsen. He suggested that I find something to eat that can help care for and repair my liver. Is there any way to care for cirrhosis?Doctor's answer:
The traditional Chinese medicine Schisandra chinensis, known for its liver-protecting properties, possesses anti-inflammatory effects. It can enhance the repair and regeneration of liver cells, as well as inhibit liver damage and safeguard the liver. Rich in organic acids, vitamins, flavonoids, phytosterols, and lignans with potent antioxidant effects (such as schisandrin A, schisandrin B, or schisandrin C), Schisandra chinensis effectively reduces continuously declining transaminase levels. It can be taken directly in the form of (Tihengjian Yanggan Pian), which contains selenium and Schisandra chinensis, for therapeutic purposes. The combination of selenium and Schisandra chinensis enhances the effectiveness of the treatment. In addition to conventional treatment for liver cirrhosis, patients should also pay attention to dietary care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
