Based on the authors’ clinical experience, the acupuncture treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease mainly includes the following three aspects. (1) The etiology and pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are based on “deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality.” The deficiency in origin means deficiency of the spleen and stomach, and the excess in superficiality is caused by hepatobiliary disorders. (2) The application of the theory of strengthening the spleen and mobilizing transportation should be considered for the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by acupuncture and moxibustion. Therefore, the use of “treatment from the spleen” often has miraculous effects. (3) Skillful use of acupuncture, shallow acupuncture, acupoint thread embedding, and other traditional Chinese medicine therapies are used to regulate the liver and spleen. In addition, warm acupuncture is reused to warm the Yang and strengthen the body.
In this study, the exercise prescription intervention rehabilitation suggestions for fatty liver patients were summarized as follows: first, basic exercises (brisk walking and jogging.), sports (swimming, badminton, and cycling), traditional Chinese medicine exercises (Taichi boxing and eight-section brocade), the aim of which is to improve overall physical strength and endurance of the body; second, exercise intensity, duration, and frequency; third, exercise precautions; and fourth, exercise prescription selection and suggestion.
