When i had flares/pain i used dried Self-Heal (Prunella Vulgaris) It was given to me by a Chinese accupuncture doctor few years ago. It helps with the pain within couple of days by reducing the "liver fire".You can find it in any China Town Herb store, it's really cheap. Just boil the dried herb on really low heat for about 15 minutes and drink 3-4 glasses a day.

Divinehealing83, if you're in US you won't find this herb (dried) in organic health food stores, if you go to a Chinatown they have it for sure. I think last time i paid like $5 for a bag. I would find a picture of it online first and show it to them on your phone or print it because most of the time when you give them the name of it they don't know what you're looking for unless you have that name in Chinese. Just a tip. Milk Thistle is the number one supplement i've always used, it's one of the best things you can take for your liver. You can also try Phosphatidylcholine, i used Solgar softgels in the past, when taken together it actually helps with the milk thistle absorption.

All the abdominal pain isnt related to hbv. Its more psychological than real. Stop relating all your health issues to hbv. When ur tests are in limit then its illogical to blame hbv. It might be some other pathology as simple as gaastritis and acidity to as complex as mysenteric tb, pancreatitis and duodenal ulcer. Explore the real cause. Do tests apart from hbv's.
