What Is Fatty Liver and How Can Ayurveda Help in Reversing Liver Fat Accumulation Naturally? - #16073
I recently had an ultrasound, and my doctor told me that I have fatty liver. He said it is a common issue, but I am worried because I have read that if left untreated, it can lead to liver damage. Now, I want to understand what I can do to reverse fatty liver naturally before it becomes a serious problem. From what I understand, fatty liver occurs when excess fat accumulates in liver cells, affecting its ability to detoxify the body. But what I do not fully understand is why some people develop fatty liver while others do not. Is it only linked to diet and alcohol consumption, or can factors like obesity, insulin resistance, and stress contribute to it? I have read that Ayurveda considers fatty liver as an imbalance in the body’s digestive fire (Agni), leading to improper metabolism and toxin buildup. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs, such as Kutki, Bhumyamalaki, and Punarnava, that help in detoxifying the liver and reducing fat accumulation? Another concern I have is whether lifestyle changes, like intermittent fasting or specific dietary practices, can help reverse fatty liver. Does Ayurveda recommend certain foods to avoid, like fried and sugary foods, or are there specific liver-cleansing diets to follow? If anyone has successfully reversed fatty liver through Ayurveda, I would love to hear about what worked for them. I want to focus on a holistic approach rather than relying on conventional medicine alone.
