Can Chinese medicine cure hepatitis C?

The liver is a relatively important organ in the human body, and hepatitis C is a serious liver disease. Hepatitis C can easily endanger human health and is also highly contagious. Long-term hepatitis C can easily lead to liver cancer, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine is relatively mild in treating hepatitis C and has fewer side effects on the body, so it can be used for treatment.

Chinese medicine for treating hepatitis C

Lingzhi

Ganoderma lucidum, a precious traditional Chinese medicinal material with thousands of years of history, has high medicinal value. It can enhance human immunity, regulate blood sugar, control blood pressure, assist in tumor radiotherapy and chemotherapy, protect the liver, and promote sleep. Ganoderma lucidum has a protective effect on liver damage caused by a variety of physical, chemical and biological factors. Whether before or after liver damage occurs, taking Ganoderma lucidum can protect the liver and reduce liver damage. In particular, it can help patients with chronic hepatitis eliminate symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and discomfort in the liver area, and can effectively improve liver function.

Cordyceps

Cordyceps sinensis is a complex of the fruiting body and corpse of the larvae of the ergot fungus Cordyceps sinensis that parasitizes the larvae of the bat moth insects. It is a traditional precious tonic Chinese medicinal material with multiple functions such as regulating immune system function, anti-tumor, and anti-fatigue. It is especially suitable for hepatitis C patients with loss of appetite.

Salvia miltiorrhiza

It has the effects of promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, cooling blood and eliminating carbuncle, clearing the heart and relieving restlessness, nourishing blood and calming the mind. It can provide both physical and mental health care for hepatitis C patients.

Hepatitis C hazards

Hazard 1: It is highly contagious and may be easily transmitted to others;

Harm 2: The disease is hidden and easily missed. Hepatitis C has an insidious onset, and 80% of patients in the acute infection period are asymptomatic or only feel weak, which often leads to misdiagnosis;

Hazard three: high incidence rate. 75% to 85% of acute hepatitis C will turn into chronic disease, and if not treated promptly, it will eventually turn into cirrhosis and liver cancer;

Hazard 4: Easy to cause superinfection. The risk of severe hepatitis and mortality from overlapping infection with hepatitis B and hepatitis C is higher than that from hepatitis B or hepatitis C alone, and the relative risk index for liver cancer is also greater.

Hazard 5: More likely to develop into chronic disease or liver cancer patients. The progression of hepatitis C is much faster. If it develops into liver cancer, the time it takes will be half that of hepatitis B.

Hazard 6: Skin complications: Chronic hepatitis C can lead to skin complications, such as hyperglobulinemia, urticaria, erythema multiforme, erythema nodosum, etc. The most common one is cryoglobulinemia.

Hazard 7: 50% of hepatitis C patients will show mild to moderate renal insufficiency. Hypercoagulability, thyroid dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, and hyperlipidemia may also be present.
