Can Artemisia capillaris treat fatty liver?

Fatty liver is also an age-related disease that is extremely harmful to the elderly. The reason why the elderly suffer from fatty liver is mainly related to high dietary cholesterol in daily life and long-term lack of active exercise. Fatty liver can affect the normal functioning of the patient's liver, so it needs timely treatment. There are many folk remedies for treating fatty liver. So is Artemisia capillaris effective in treating fatty liver?

To use Artemisia capillaris to soak in water to treat fatty liver, you must first keep in mind the following points:

1. The first thing is to choose fresh Artemisia capillaris that has just emerged from the ground and is only the size of a copper coin. This is the period when Artemisia capillaris has the strongest medicinal effect. If it continues to grow, the medicinal effect will become lower and lower.

2. When digging up Artemisia capillaris, only take the tender stems and leaves above the ground, and do not dig out the roots, because only the above-ground part of Artemisia capillaris has medicinal effects, while the Artemisia capillaris roots have no medicinal effects.

3. Fresh Artemisia capillaris can be soaked in water and drunk after washing. The leftover Artemisia capillaris can be washed and dried in the shade, then sealed in a plastic bag for long-term storage. Never dry Artemisia capillaris in the sun, otherwise its medicinal efficacy will be reduced.

Although drinking Artemisia capillaris alone in water can nourish and protect the liver, the effect is stronger when it is combined with red dates in a decoction. He recommended me to drink "Artemisia capillaris and red dates soup", saying it is a classic recipe used by famous doctors throughout the ages. The recipe and method are as follows:

Take about 15 grams of dried Artemisia capillaris every day (if it is fresh Artemisia capillaris, use about 70 grams), 3 to 5 pitted red dates, wash them and put them in a casserole, add appropriate amount of water and boil them over high heat, then simmer them over low heat for about 20 minutes, remove the Artemisia capillaris and throw it away, then chew and swallow the red dates, and drink the remaining soup instead of tea.
