Hello namaste , I understand your concern. When the liver is swollen or enlarged (hepatomegaly), even if not due to alcohol, it usually means it has been under stress from food choices, digestion issues, or sometimes other underlying conditions. You have already done the first big step correcting your food habits. Now, the aim is to reduce the inflammation, improve liver metabolism, and strengthen digestion so the swelling gradually comes down.

Your liver is like a natural filter and processor. Wrong foods, excess oils, processed items, or even stress on digestion can make it overworked and enlarged. Just because it is enlarged doesn’t mean it is permanently damaged. Ayurveda focuses on reducing “Ama” (toxins), improving Agni (digestive fire), and protecting the liver cells with gentle herbs.

Step 1: Ama Pachana (first 7–10 days) • Trikatu churna – 1–2 pinches with honey, once daily after food. • Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily before food. (Helps reduce swelling/inflammation).

Step 2:

Internal Medicines (after 1 week) • Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food (helps clear liver channels and balance metabolism). • Bhumyamalaki churna – 1 tsp with warm water, once daily (supports liver cells and improves function). • Punarnava Mandur – 1 tablet twice daily after food (reduces enlargement and improves hemoglobin too).

Investigations to do now • Liver Function Test (LFT) • Ultrasound Abdomen (to monitor swelling/enlargement) • Lipid profile + Blood sugar (since food habits are related to these)

With these steps, you should see gradual relief in 4–6 weeks. Continue light, freshly cooked meals, avoid oily/heavy food, late dinners, and include more bitter foods (like methi, karela, greens).

Please don’t worry with consistent care, liver swelling usually comes down slowly. I will help you monitor step by step.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Understanding Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver. When it is not caused by excessive alcohol consumption, it’s often linked to poor diet, obesity, and other metabolic issues. The swelling or enlargement you mentioned is a common symptom. While a change in diet is a great first step, it may take time for the liver to heal and for the swelling to reduce.

HELLO MARY,

Your liver is like the body’s chemical factory- filtering toxins, processing food, making energy , and balancing hormones. When it gets enlarged , it’s often because -Too much heavy, oily, or processed food has made “ama” (toxic residues) clog the liver channels -Excess pitta (heat, inflammation) or kapha (sluggishness, fat accumulation) disturb its normal function -even if alcohol was never the culprit, wrong food choices and stress can slowly inflame the liver.

Modern medicine calls this “hepatomegaly”. Ayurveda looks deeper : the root problem is digestion (agni), toxin build up (ama) and imbalance in doshas.

TREATMENT GOALS

1) DEEPAN-PACHAN-> kindle digestive fire, burn old toxins 2) SHODHANA (cleansing)-> remove aggravated pitta/kapha from the liver 3) RASAYANA (rejuvenation)-> restore liver cells, strengthen immunity 4) LIFESTYLE BALANCE-> prevent re-accumulation

PHASE WISE TREATMENT PROTOCOL

PHASE 1= AGNI DEEPANA AND AMA PACHANA (boost digestion, clear toxins) WHY= without clearing the digestive sludge , no medicine will work fully

1) TRIKATU CHURNA= 2gm with honey after meals for 4 weks

2) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 4 weeks

3) BHUMI AMLA JUICE= 20 ml twice daily on empty stomach

EFFECT= improves bile flow, kindles metabolism , reduces swellling

PHASE 2= SHODHANA (cleansing therapies- at clinic) WHY= once fire is active, deeper cleansing is safe

VIRECHANA (purgation therapy)= remove excess pitta from liver and intestines.

BASTI (medicated enema therapy)= If there’s sluggishness/constipation with kapha buildup

PHASE 3= REJUVINATION AND STRENGTHENING WHY= nourish and repair

1) GUDUCHI SATVA= 500mg with warm water twice daily after meals

2) KUTKI CHURNA= 1 gm with honey in morning

3) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 1 tab twice daily for fluid balance and swelling

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water

duration= 2-3 months minimum

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= with Chandan bala lakshadi taila= to calm pitta

2) MILD STEAM after oil massage for better toxin movement

YOGA ASANAS -ardha matsyendrasana -bhujangasana -dhanurasana

PRANAYAM -Sheetali and sheetkari -nadi sodhana These cool excess pitta and calm the nervous system

DIET -bitter veggies= karela, methi, neem, spinach -light grains= barley, old rice, millets -cooling fruits= pomegranate, apple, pear -spices= turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel

AVOID -oily, fried foods, fast foods -red meat, excess dairy -very spicy, sour, or salty foods -daytime sleeping (slows liver metabolism)

HOME REMEDIES -warm water with a teaspoon of turmeric + pinch of black pepper daily -Aloe vera juice 15ml with water in the morning -coriander seed tea (boil 1 tsp seeds in water, drink warm)

Ayurveda doesn’t just shrink the liver size- it aims to reset digestion, flush toxins, and protect the liver long term. With steady discipline in food, lifestyle, and medicines, swelling often comes down gradually. the key is phase wise healing: first burn toxins, then cleanse, then rebuild

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

To address an enlarged liver not linked to alcohol but due to dietary choices, integrating Ayurvedic principles can be beneficial. In Ayurveda, focusing on balancing Pitta dosha, which governs the liver and digestive system, is vital. Begin by including bitter and astringent tastes in your diet as they are known to balance Pitta. Foods such as bitter gourd, neem leaves, and turmeric can support liver health—turmeric, in particular, may assist in reducing inflammation. Consider taking turmeric with warm water or as a spice in meals daily.

Your diet should also be rich in leafy greens, which help detoxify. Avoid spicy, fermented, or fried foods which can aggravate Pitta. Opt for cooling foods like cucumber and melons instead. Use ghee as part of your cooking it can have a cooling effect and help pacify Pitta.

Herbs such as Amla (Indian gooseberry) are a great choice, as they nourish the liver. Amla can be taken as fresh juice or powder. Another recommended herb is Punarnava; it may be consumed as a decoction prepared by boiling dried Punarnava leaves in water.

Establish a regular routine, aligning with Ayurvedic principles of dinacharya. Start with Abhyanga (self-massage) using cooling oils, like coconut or sunflower oil, which helps in physical detoxification and improves blood flow.

Stress management is important too since emotional factors, like excess anger or stress, can worsen Pitta imbalances. Practices such as yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can be helpful, try practicing Sheetali Pranayama which have cooling effects on the body.

Stay hydrated drinking adequate water throughout the day, enhances liver function. Make sure to consult a medical professional for a proper diagnosis, as enlarged liver can sometimes be a symptom of other underlying conditions that require conventional medical treatment.

Addressing an enlarged liver, especially one not caused by alcohol but dietary choices, can mean there’s stress on liver function, potentially from excessive Pitta dosha and imbalanced agni. In Siddha-Ayurveda, cooling and cleansing the liver gently will aid rejuvenation and balance.

First, consider incorporating herbs known to support liver health. Amla (Indian Gooseberry) is highly beneficial, taken as a daily tonic or found in Triphala powder. This can help cool down excess Pitta. Take a teaspoon of Triphala in warm water every night before bed for increased detoxification.

Another important herb is Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus Niruri) which helps protect and rejuvenate liver cells. Consume Bhumyamalaki in capsule form or as a powder, about 500 mg daily, preferably with warm water.

Diet plays a crucial role, avoid Pitta aggravating foods such as spicy, fried, or overly salty items. Instead, focus on a diet rich in greens, cucumbers, melons, and squashes. Ensure your meals are light and easily digestible to support agni without overburdening the liver.

Add ginger tea to your routine once or twice a day, as it aids digestion and helps reduce inflammation. Remember, reduce stress levels with daily practices of yoga or pranayama—this calms the mind and promotes internal healing.

Hydration also is vital. Drink plenty of warm or room-temperature water throughout the day to assist in flushing toxins through the system.

If the swelling continues or worsens, it’s imperative to consult with a healthcare provider to evaluate any underlying issues. While Ayurveda offers many supportive measures, severe conditions might require conventional medical intervention. Regular follow-ups will ensure the approach remains safe and effective.
