Patient's question:
How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat liver cirrhosis? Does acupuncture work? How can symptoms of liver cirrhosis be alleviated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you mentioned, general cirrhosis falls under the category of "Zeng Jie Ju Ji Zheng" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through the use of herbal decoctions to invigorate blood and remove stasis, as well as to soften hard masses and disperse nodules, it is possible to stabilize symptoms to some extent and slow down the progression. Cirrhosis patients can, while understanding the principle of treating the symptoms, use folk remedies as supplementary treatments in daily life. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and to never overeat or binge drink.
