How does TCM look at fatty liver? 2 herbal remedies to regulate it!
The damage of fatty liver is not only limited to the liver, but is also a trigger for other chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and cancer, so fatty liver should be actively treated.
Fatty liver is related to poor diet and lack of exercise, as too much fat is deposited in the liver cells, thus causing disorders of lipid metabolism. From the perspective of TCM, the decline in the function of the internal organs of the elderly and the preference for high-fat foods can harm the spleen and stomach, causing metabolic disorders, leading to spleen deficiency, blood stasis, and damp heat, which eventually induce fatty liver.
How does TCM classify fatty liver?
1. Stasis of Blood
The main symptoms of fatty liver with stasis of blood are stabbing pain in the ribs, fixed location of the pain, petechiae on the tongue or purple color on the tongue, and filling of veins under the tongue.
2. Damp-heat evidence
Damp-heat fatty liver is characterized by pain in the ribs, bitterness, and stickiness in the mouth, yellow urine, nausea and abdominal distension, and irregular bowel movements, as well as a red tongue with yellow and greasy tongue coating.
3. Spleen deficiency evidence
Spleen deficiency evidence of fatty liver is characterized by general weakness and lethargy, thin stools, decreased appetite; or lazy speech, often feeling full, yellow face, light and not thirsty in the mouth; tongue color is light, tongue with tooth marks, thin white or sticky tongue.
What should be done in the face of fatty liver?
1. Strictly control calorie intake
The basal metabolic rate decreases when you get older, so the elderly should reduce their total calorie intake by about 20% to 30%. It is best to adopt a Mediterranean diet pattern, which means focusing on eating whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, low-fat dairy products, and olive oil, which contains monounsaturated fatty acids. It is also possible to adopt a Gangnam diet pattern, which emphasizes low salt and fat, and also ensures food variety. In addition, the elderly drink 1 to 2 cups of coffee a day and refuse to drink drinks containing fructose, not to mention alcohol.
2. Moderate exercise
Older people should do traditional gongfu, such as five-animal play, eight-Tianjin, and playing taijiquan, which can improve their health. When exercising, you must pay attention to gentle movements and adjust your breathing to ensure that the muscles, joints, and bones of the whole body are exercised.
3. Two kinds of herbal prescriptions
One is the lipid-lowering formula, prepare 6 grams of dried lotus leaves, 9 grams of Danshen and Yin Chen, 15 grams of Tiger Balm and Gynostemma, put together in a pot and decoct, take 150 ml every morning and evening, 12 weeks as a course of treatment, especially for patients with the fatty liver; one is Poria and Atractylodes soup, prepare 12 grams of licorice and Atractylodes, 18 grams of Gui Zhi and 24 grams of Poria, put together in a pot and decoct to drink, which can benefit the qi and strengthen the spleen and warm the yang and water. It is suitable for fatty liver patients with spleen-yang deficiency.
Warm Tips
The damage of fatty liver is not only limited to the liver, but is also a trigger for other chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and cancer, so fatty liver should be actively treated. Pay more attention to rest daily, refuse to drink alcohol, do not abuse liver protection drugs, and go to the hospital for regular follow-up reviews.
