Is Chinese medicine good for treating fatty liver?

Patient's question:

Hey. I'm a leader in a company, and I often have to attend banquets outside. I don't even have time to rest properly. Hey, later I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and it turns out I have fatty liver disease. Boohoo, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

So far, Western medicine has no comprehensive preventive and therapeutic drugs for fatty liver disease, and the long-term regulatory treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is the best. Using professional drugs containing traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as curcumin, like Ganber, are also good. Among traditional Chinese medicines, Polygonum multiflorum and hawthorn are the best. These two herbs can reduce blood lipids and prevent cholesterol from depositing in the liver. Western medicine often uses hepatocyte-protecting drugs, lipid-lowering drugs, and antioxidants, such as vitamins B, C, E, lecithin, ursodeoxycholic acid, silymarin, inosine, coenzyme A, reduced glutathione, and so on. Although the above drugs are numerous, most still require further confirmation of their efficacy and safety. Therefore, they should be used correctly under the guidance of a doctor and must not be misused.
