Fatty liver is the name of a modern medical condition, but the term “fatty liver” does not exist in the ancient literature of Chinese medicine, and most scholars believe that it can be classified as “hepatopathy”, “hepatic accumulation” and “dysesthesia” based on its pathogenesis and a large number of clinical practices in Chinese medicine. According to its pathogenesis and a large number of clinical practices in Chinese medicine, most scholars believe that it can be classified as “liver gangrene”, “liver accumulation” and “dysesthesia”. In the past, it was thought that fatty liver had a good prognosis, but in recent years, research has found that the disease can also be progressive, and the pathway of fatty liver development has been proposed: alcoholic fatty liver – alcoholic hepatitis – alcoholic cirrhosis; non-alcoholic fatty liver – steatohepatitis – fatty cirrhosis, in the population of hypertensive , fatty liver is listed as an independent risk factor, so fatty liver, should attract our attention! For the causes of fatty liver, Chinese medicine mostly believes that due to long-term over-eating fatty, sweet, thick and greasy products, wanton drinking; or original liver disease, in the recovery period, excessive emphasis on nutrition; or endocrine and metabolic diseases such as diabetes; and certain drugs caused by liver damage can lead to phlegm, dampness and heat in the liver, day after day qi stagnation, blood stasis, phlegm and stagnation, liver fat accumulation, the development of this disease. Fatty liver is a fatty change in the liver. Excessive accumulation of fat in the liver inevitably leads to stagnation of liver qi, stagnation of liver ligaments and excessive fat, which is still considered by Chinese medicine as the main cause of phlegm and dampness, when attributed to the two organs of spleen and kidney. The important rule of treatment is to start from the liver, spleen and kidneys, and the method of treating this disease is to dredge the liver, strengthen the spleen and nourish the kidneys, while the method of treating the symptoms is to regulate qi and relieve depression, clear heat and detoxify, dispel phlegm and dampness, and activate blood and open the ligaments. In addition to medication for fatty liver, patients should be instructed to abstain from alcohol, control their diet, and eat less spicy and oily products. Low-fat and low-sugar diet is desirable, and it is necessary to strengthen the activities appropriately, so that the treatment can be done with half the effort. If you do not pay attention to diet control, continue to drink alcohol and exercise less, treatment is often ineffective.
