GGT full form and how can Ayurveda help with high levels? - #16712
A few weeks ago, I went for a routine health checkup, and my doctor told me that my GGT levels were higher than normal. I had no idea what this meant, so I asked him for the GGT full form, and he explained that it stands for Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase, an enzyme that plays a role in liver function. Apparently, high GGT levels can indicate liver damage, bile duct problems, or excessive alcohol consumption. The thing is, I don’t drink alcohol at all, so now I’m wondering what could be causing this. I do have a history of fatty liver, and my diet hasn’t been the best—I eat a lot of processed foods and sometimes skip meals. My doctor told me to improve my lifestyle, but he didn’t prescribe any specific medicine yet. He just said to monitor it and come back for another test in a few months. I don’t want to wait around and let this get worse, so I started looking into Ayurveda. Can Ayurvedic remedies help bring down high GGT levels naturally? Are there specific herbs or detox methods that support liver function? Also, does Ayurveda recommend any dietary changes to improve bile flow and prevent liver issues? If anyone has managed high GGT levels with Ayurveda, I’d love to hear what worked. I want to take a natural approach to healing my liver before it turns into something serious. Should I follow an Ayurvedic liver detox or just focus on specific herbal treatments?
