Fatty Liver and Acupuncture: Supporting Natural Regeneration Through Pulse-Based Care
Fatty liver has become increasingly common in modern life — often discovered by chance during a routine check-up. For many Londoners, it’s linked to stress, irregular meals, alcohol intake, or sedentary habits.
While doctors may advise lifestyle changes, few treatments address how to restore true liver vitality and prevent future damage.
This is where acupuncture and pulse diagnosis offer a deeper, more holistic path — supporting the liver’s natural ability to regenerate and rebalance the body’s internal environment.
Understanding Fatty Liver Beyond the Blood Tests
In Western medicine, fatty liver (non-alcoholic or alcohol-related) is caused by excess fat accumulation in liver cells. Over time, this can impair detoxification, digestion, and energy metabolism.
However, many patients with early-stage fatty liver feel tired, bloated, or emotionally flat long before test results turn abnormal.
Chinese medicine recognises this condition as a reflection of underlying disharmony, especially involving:
Liver stagnation and sluggish circulation
Excessive carbohydrate (sugar) or fat consumption
Heat or inflammation disrupting detoxification
Emotional stress (anger, frustration) impairing liver flow
By addressing these patterns early, acupuncture helps prevent the progression of fatty liver while improving digestion, energy, and mood.
How Pulse Diagnosis Identifies Liver Imbalances
Through pulse diagnosis, George can detect subtle dysfunctions in the liver and digestive system that precede disease. He identifies whether imbalance stems from:
Poor blood circulation through the liver
Digestive weakness and “damp” accumulation
Emotional tension tightening the diaphragm
Inflammation or “heat” causing irritability and restlessness
Dietary imbalance
This real-time feedback reveals how lifestyle, diet, stress, and environment are shaping liver health — something no blood test alone can capture.
Acupuncture for Liver Repair and Detoxification
Acupuncture treatments for fatty liver aim to restore balance and assist the liver’s natural regeneration by:
Improving liver blood flow and metabolism
Supporting digestive strength to reduce fat buildup
Clearing internal heat and inflammation
Calming stress and regulating emotional balance
Boosting energy and improving sleep quality
George’s treatment plans often integrate tailored nutrition and movement guidance to enhance results. Over time, many patients notice improved energy, digestion, and even clearer skin as liver function recovers.
A 50-year-old man came to George after his GP diagnosed mild fatty liver through a routine scan. He complained of fatigue, bloating after meals, and irritability.
Pulse diagnosis showed a tight, wiry pulse indicating liver stagnation and damp accumulation. George used acupuncture to regulate liver flow, strengthen digestion, and calm the nervous system.
After six weeks, his digestion improved, energy levels increased, and he reported feeling “lighter and clearer.” Follow-up bloodwork later showed his liver enzymes returning to normal range — confirming what his pulse had already revealed: true healing was underway.
Fatty liver doesn’t have to progress into a chronic condition. With early intervention through acupuncture and pulse diagnosis, it’s possible to reverse imbalances naturally and support lasting liver health.
By restoring circulation, easing stress, and strengthening digestion, this approach empowers the body’s own ability to regenerate — from the inside out.
If you’ve been diagnosed with fatty liver or feel sluggish and fatigued after meals, your body may be signalling imbalance.
