Lingzhi has a protective effect against liver damage caused by various physical, chemical, and biological factors. It can protect the liver both before and after the recurrence of liver damage, reducing liver injury. Lingzhi enhances the liver's metabolism of drugs and toxins, making it effective for toxic hepatitis. It can be prepared by decoction or steeped in wine. In traditional Chinese medicine, Lingzhi is considered to enter all five internal organs, capable of replenishing the body's qi and stabilizing symptoms of spleen Yang deficiency. Additionally, during the treatment of fatty liver, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety.
