Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. The hospital said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? How is viral hepatitis treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Hello, viral hepatitis is a common infectious disease caused by hepatotropic viruses. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a unique syndrome differentiation and treatment screening system. By applying TCM's syndrome differentiation and treatment, as well as a holistic approach, it achieves good effects in managing viral hepatitis.Mainly, herbs like Chai Hu (Bupleurum chinense), Jie Gou (Ammi fructus), Yan Hu Suo (Corydalis ternata), and Yu Jin (Radix curcumae) are used to regulate the liver and relieve depression. Herbs such as Gan Jiang (Dried ginger), Yin Yang Rui (Epimedium), Yi Zhi Ren (Alisma orientale), and Rou Cong Rong (Cistanche) are used to tonify the spleen and kidneys. Herbs like Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus), Dang Shen (Codonopsis pilosula), and Bai Zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala) are used to replenish qi. And so on. For specific treatment, it is recommended to consult a licensed TCM practitioner in person.
