TCM treatment of liver disease

In today's developed society, medical technology is constantly developing. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments are gradually being replaced by Western medicine. Western medicine, based on advanced technical equipment and superb technical levels, is gradually being accepted by people. However, Chinese medicine treatments cannot be ignored and are indelible. Chinese medicine has made breakthrough achievements in the treatment of liver diseases, and Chinese medicine has played an immeasurable role.

Liver disease is a difficult and complicated disease that seriously threatens the human body and has a serious destructive effect on the human body. Excessive drinking and smoking in life are the culprits of liver disease. The treatment of liver disease must be taken seriously. How does traditional Chinese medicine treat liver disease?

Soothing the Liver and Promoting Gentleness

The liver is a hard organ; its body should be soft and its function should be relaxed. Peng Bo believes that chronic liver disease is often accompanied by symptoms of qi stagnation, and the treatment should be gentle and soothing, so as to harmonize qi and blood. On the one hand, we must prevent excessive catharsis so as not to damage the liver, and on the other hand, we must avoid nourishing yin and harming the stomach. At the same time, Peng Bo also believed that it was not appropriate to use multiple liver-soothing medicines in one prescription. The medicines should be light and gentle without hurting the yin. Commonly used ones include turmeric, cassia flower, green-calyx plum, raw malt, etc. Among them, raw malt is sweet, salty and slightly cold. It can both soothe the liver and strengthen the stomach. It has a mild medicinal property and is a commonly used item. If Shugan Decoction is taken for a long time, the prescription should not be too large, the dosage should not be too much, and attention should be paid to the ascending and dispersing nature of Chaihu.

Strengthen the spleen early

Chronic persistent hepatitis B should focus on regulating the Zhongzhou, and always pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach. This is because the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution and the source of Qi and blood production. If there is stomach qi, there is life; if there is no stomach qi, there is death. “When seeing a liver disease, knowing that the liver will infect the spleen, one should first strengthen the spleen”, so when treating liver disease, protecting the spleen and stomach should be given top priority. Peng Bo usually uses Codonopsis pilosula, Amomum villosum, Chinese yam, lentil, etc. to invigorate Qi, raise Yang, invigorate the spleen and strengthen the middle.

China has been studying Chinese medicine since ancient times, and it is relying on the remarkable achievements of Chinese medicine that it has gradually developed into what it is today. Chinese medicine has a therapeutic effect on treating liver disease that Western medicine cannot achieve. In addition, in order to prevent the development of liver disease, we must maintain good eating habits in life, reduce the intake of tobacco and alcohol, actively exercise, strengthen our physical fitness, and prevent the recurrence of liver disease.
