Q I hardly drink at all but I have non-alcoholic fatty liver. Can it get better with oriental medicine even though I don't drink?
A Since alcohol isn't the cause, correcting eating habits and metabolic problems is key. Oriental medicine treatment manages insulin resistance and bowel movement together to help non-alcoholic fatty liver recover.
Detailed Answer
Non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD/MASLD) is mainly caused by excess carbohydrates, fructose drinks, lack of exercise, insulin resistance, and visceral fat accumulation. It isn't solved just by quitting alcohol—you must also address meal composition and metabolic function.
Oriental Medicine Clinic Perspective
In oriental medicine, non-alcoholic fatty liver is seen as a result of declined transport and metabolic function of the stomach. We focus on restoring the flow of digestion, absorption, and elimination to change the metabolic constitution so fat doesn't accumulate easily even with the same food.
