We also think that fatty liver is related to fine food, but more to what it is. But do you know that fatty liver is also a disease that sub-health people will suffer from. We know that the incidence rate of fatty liver has risen rapidly in Europe, America and China in recent years, becoming the second largest liver disease after viral hepatitis.
The following figures are amazing: in some professional groups (white-collar workers, taxi drivers, professional managers, individual owners, government officials, senior intellectuals, etc.), the average incidence rate of fatty liver is 25%; The incidence rate of fatty liver in obese people and type II diabetes patients was 50%;
The incidence rate of fatty liver in alcoholics and alcoholics was 58%; The incidence rate of fatty liver is about 60% among sub-health people who often suffer from insomnia, fatigue, lack of food and tea, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. In the face of fatty liver, many experts suggest that “fatty liver is not terrible. Like many rich and noble diseases, the key is to adjust daily living habits.”
In the treatment of fatty liver with western drugs, most of them use drugs that regulate blood lipids, such as statins and Bates, which have strict indications. In fact, fatty liver and hyperlipidemia can be related to each other, or they can become diseases independently. Some patients with fatty liver do not have blood lipid problems, so western medicine is sometimes useless. Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated some experience in the conditioning of fatty liver.
Some Chinese herbal medicines have remarkable effects on regulating the liver. Gynostemma pentaphyllum: cold in nature and bitter in taste, it belongs to the lung, spleen and kidney meridians. It is produced in Shennongjia, the primeval forest of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It has been widely used by the people in ancient times, and is regarded as a “magical” herb for longevity. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called “fairy grass”.
The experiment proved that the content of cholesterol and neutral fat in the Gynostemma pentaphyllum group without avoiding fat was similar to that in the Gynostemma pentaphyllum group without avoiding meat. It can be seen that Gynostemma pentaphyllum has a benign transformation and regulation effect on fat in human body.
Chaihu: reconcile the exterior and the interior, soothe the liver and raise the sun. Used for cold and fever, cold and heat exchanges, chest and flank swelling and pain, irregular menstruation, uterine prolapse and anal prolapse. Lycium barbarum: it can reduce blood sugar, inhibit fat deposition in hepatocytes, and promote hepatocyte regeneration. 10-15g each time, can be used to cook porridge, make dishes, or brew tea instead of drinking.
In addition to the above traditional Chinese medicines, there are also many traditional Chinese medicines commonly used to prevent and treat fatty liver, such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Alisma orientalis, bupleurum, cassia seed, Polygonum multiflorum, tangerine peel, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Fructus aurantii, Codonopsis pilosula and lotus leaf.
These Chinese herbal medicines are available in Chinese pharmacies. They can be made into tea bags under the guidance of doctors. They can not only play a good role in the recovery of fatty liver, but also have a health effect on the liver of normal people.
