What are the methods of TCM to treat liver cysts?

Liver cyst is a benign tumor, which mainly forms blisters in the liver. Liver cyst can be divided into parasitic liver cyst and non-parasitic liver cyst. So what are the treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine?

Liver cysts are generally benign, single or multiple, and may be connected to the gallbladder or blocked. Solitary large cysts in the liver parenchyma are very rare. The initial symptoms of most liver cysts are generally not obvious. Most cysts are lined with bile duct epithelium, some are lined with interstitial cells, or other rare types. Generally, liver cysts are benign and do not require treatment. The growth rate of liver cysts is very fast. As long as the patient takes good care of his daily health, the patient may not need treatment for his entire life.

Traditional Chinese medicine is a unique medical culture that has been accumulated by our Chinese nation over five thousand years. Even in modern times, traditional Chinese medicine still plays an important role in the world's medical community. Traditional Chinese medicine has its own unique insights and effects on many liver diseases. So how does traditional Chinese medicine treat liver cysts?

After boiling 2 crucian carps into soup, add 3 grams each of citron slices and sifted amomum powder, stir well and take, 12 times a day.

3. Fish eggs: This TCM remedy for the treatment of liver cysts is suitable for those with damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, which is mostly caused by long-term drinking and those who like to eat fatty and sweet food.

In our daily life, we should pay attention to and eat more red vegetables: carrots, tomatoes, red dates, dragon fruit and other red vegetables and fruits are especially recommended. Drink more water.
