Yes, acupuncture can help with fatty liver.
A practitioner of Chinese medicine can probably help, but not in the way that you're thinking. Fatty liver often has a dietary component and improving or resolving the issue will involve making dietary changes. Almost all practitioners of Chinese medicine are trained in nutrition and the use of food inside the Chinese medical model, and this is where you need to start.

In other words, acupuncture and herbal medicine are not going to be much help until you can get off the treadmill created by diet.
