Focus on light and清淡 foods, which have a heat-clearing effect. It is advisable to eat more bitter gourd, cucumber, Chinese cabbage, etc. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine can be taken, such as Long Dan Xie Gan Tang, Dang Gui Lu Hui Wan, Xie Qing Wan, Qing Huo Zhi Zi Mai Pian, or Yi Qing Capsules. However, these herbal remedies for liver conditions are often quite cold in nature; prolonged and excessive use may impair spleen and stomach yang, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fatigue, and chills in the limbs. Therefore, they should be taken in moderation and not used long-term.
