What are the treatments for hepatitis C in traditional Chinese medicine?

Hepatitis C is a type of viral hepatitis caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus. In addition to Western medicine treatment, traditional Chinese medicine treatment of hepatitis C also has certain effectiveness. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of hepatitis C must provide the most appropriate treatment based on the actual condition, so that it will be more targeted.

1. Dampness and heat accumulation

Traditional Chinese medicine treats hepatitis C mainly through dialectical therapy. For example, one of the most common causes of chronic hepatitis C is the lingering of damp-heat toxic evil in the body without complete cure. In addition, elevated ALT is positively correlated with the advance and retreat of damp-heat toxic evil. One thing that should be understood is that if the remaining damp-heat toxic evil is not clearly resolved, hepatitis C disease is likely to be prolonged and uncured, and this aspect should be taken seriously.

2. Liver depression and spleen deficiency

Evil toxins lurk deep in the blood and stay in the liver, which can lead to liver qi stagnation, dysfunction of qi secretion, and spleen dysfunction. In terms of treatment, the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively ideal. One thing that should be understood is that when the liver and spleen are damaged, the impact on hepatitis C is very large, and we must be vigilant enough.

3. Deficiency of vital energy and toxic stasis

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chronic hepatitis C is generally a mixture of deficiency and excess, and the main treatment principles are generally heat toxins and blood stasis toxins. In addition, one thing that should be understood is that if the treatment is unscientific, the disease may persist for a long time and even cause complications. Sufficient attention must be paid to this aspect. It should be noted that no matter which method of treating hepatitis C is used, patients should perform appropriate self-care, for example, paying attention to dietary conditioning.
