Abstract

This article analyzes the data from the Special Food Information Query Platform of the Special Food Safety Supervision and Administration Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation, and finds that among the approved health foods in China that have auxiliary protective functions against chemical liver injury, there are 43 medicinal and the medicine-food herbs as raw materials. These traditional Chinese medicines mainly exert protective effects against alcoholic liver injury through mechanisms such as inhibiting free radical release, anti lipid peroxidation, antioxidant stress response, and anti-inflammatory response. Among them, the medicine-food herbs such as kudzu root, lingzhi, goji berry, licorice, reed root, honeysuckle, gardenia, dendrobium and seabuckthorn have been proven to have certain preventive and therapeutic effects. And a review was conducted on the mechanism of action of the medicine-food herbs in the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease at home and abroad in recent years, in order to provide ideas and references for the development of the medicine-food herbs with sobering and liver protecting effects, as well as drugs for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease.
