Patient's question:
I have an allergic constitution and react to some medications. A year ago, I was carefully diagnosed with fatty liver and have been taking medication treatment. However, these are all Western medicines, and my body often experiences allergic reactions again. Additionally, Western medicines have significant side effects. I would like to pursue traditional Chinese medicine treatment.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in the treatment of fatty liver with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), efforts are actively made to eliminate the causes and triggers, adjust a proper diet, and enhance exercise. Additionally, TCM and herbal medicine are used for syndrome differentiation and treatment, tailored to the different stages of fatty liver, accompanying symptoms and signs, and relevant test results to formulate appropriate treatment and dietary plans. In selecting medications, simplicity, precision, and minimal liver damage should be followed. Through proper drug combinations, TCM's distinctive treatment philosophies such as liver protection, liver support, lipid reduction, strengthening the spleen and boosting qi, and nourishing the liver and kidneys are achieved to maximize the reversal and effective treatment of the condition. Fatty liver is a disease that is not easily recoverable. Patients should maintain an optimistic mindset and face it with a positive attitude, as this can boost their confidence in combating fatty liver and believe that recovery is attainable.
