According to traditional Chinese medicine, fatty liver occurs when various pathogens cause excessive damage to the function of the spleen and stomach, impairing the transport and distribution function of the spleen and stomach so that the body is unable to eliminate excessive turbid matter and eventually high blood lipids and fatty liver develop. Clinical research has shown that commonly used Chinese herbs (phytotherapy) such as He Shouwu, Ze Xie, Dan Shen, Jiang Huang, Shan Zha, Chai Hu and Cassia can significantly lower blood lipids.
