Abstract

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) belongs to the categories of "flank pain" and "liver fetish" in traditional Chinese medicine. The causes of NAFLD are complex, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism, hypopituitarism, sleep apnea syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, sexual dysfunction, acanthosis nigricans, vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis. The causes of NAFLD are very complex, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes. With the development of Chinese society and the further improvement of people's living standards in recent years, people's daily life, working style and diet structure have also changed. The incidence of NAFLD is increasing rapidly, and it has become a common disease in the world, posing a serious threat to our health and affecting our daily life. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic approach and treatment based on syndrome differentiation, with multiple channels, multiple aspects, multiple levels, multiple perspectives, and minimal side effects. It has a considerable therapeutic effect in the treatment of NAFLD. This article aims to organize and summarize the research literature on Chaihu Shugan San in the treatment of NAFLD in recent years, providing reference for further clinical research and application of Chaihu Shugan San in the treatment of NAFLD.
