Traditional Chinese medicine, i.e. medicines used in traditional medicine, contains natural products such as plants, animals and minerals, and has always been believed to have natural ** and health benefits.
However, if you do not follow your doctor's instructions, overuse or long-term use, Chinese medicine may also have a negative impact on the human body. Among them, the liver, as the metabolic organ of the human body, is easily damaged during the use of traditional Chinese medicine.
According to a study, regular consumption of Chinese medicine can increase the burden on the liver, leading to a decline in liver function. Specifically, there are many components in traditional Chinese medicine that can have direct toxic effects on the liver, such as aflatoxins, pyrrolidines, etc., which can damage liver cells and lead to liver damage.
In addition, long-term use of traditional Chinese medicine will lead to an increase in the burden on the liver, and the liver's ability to metabolize drugs will be weakened, resulting in the accumulation of drugs in the body, further increasing the burden on the liver.
So, if you have to use traditional Chinese medicine for **, how should you protect the liver? First of all, you should use Chinese medicine under the guidance of your doctor and avoid buying and taking it on your own.
According to the patient's condition and constitution, the doctor will choose the appropriate prescription of Chinese medicine, and control the dosage and time of medication to reduce the damage to the liver. Secondly, while taking traditional Chinese medicine, you should also pay attention to dietary conditioning and avoid eating irritating foods such as greasy and spicy foods to reduce the burden on the liver.
In addition, the quality of Chinese medicine can also affect the health of the liver. If the quality of traditional Chinese medicine is not up to standard, it may contain harmful substances, which further increases the burden on the liver. Therefore, when purchasing traditional Chinese medicine, you should choose formal channels to avoid buying counterfeit and shoddy products.
It should be noted that although TCM has unique advantages in certain diseases, long-term use of TCM may also cause damage to the liver.
Therefore, when using traditional Chinese medicine for **, it should be done under the guidance of a doctor and pay attention to the protection of the liver. At the same time, if there are symptoms of liver damage such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, oil aversion, and liver discomfort, you should seek medical attention in time, conduct liver function tests, and adjust the medication regimen in time according to the results of the examination.
