What steps should we take to cure NAFLD grade 3 - #24960
I'm suffering from NAFLD grade 3 right now but I really wanna cure it so I've started skipping my afternoon meal and minimized consumption of sugar. I started avoiding oil but as I'm a student living in another city , sometimes it's hard to maintain this. I want suggestions so that I can cure my problem.

Hello Shubham Thank you for sharing your concern so honestly it shows your strong will to heal, which is the first and most important step. NAFLD Grade 3 means your liver has significant fat accumulation, but don’t worry, we are here to help you out. With consistency and the right lifestyle, NAFLD can be reversed — even at Grade 3 so don’t lose hope just be consistent
AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE In Ayurveda, NAFLD relates to: 1 Yakrit Vikara (liver disorder) 2 Medo Dhatu Dushti (fat metabolism imbalance) 3 Mandagni (weak digestion) + Ama (toxins) + Kapha-Pitta imbalance
Your liver is overloaded and struggling to break down fats, process sugar, and filter toxins effectively.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅ 1. INTERNAL MEDICATION-
1 Varuna twak + shigru patra choorna - Take 3 gm of each in 400 ml of water , boil and reduce to 200ml , take 100 ml in morning empty stomach and other 100ml at night (i can understand preparing medicine at home can be difficult but believe me it is like just making like a cup of tea, but the effect it produces is magnificent) 2. Arogyavardhini vati 2-0-2 after food 3 nirocil tab 2-0-2 after food
If you are not able able to make first medication then you can take varunasvam 30ml-0-30ml twice daily
2. Student-Friendly Diet (Sattvik + Sustainable)
✅ What to Eat: 👉Khichdi (moong dal + rice + veggies) with turmeric + cumin 👉Barley, ragi, millets – in porridge or light roti form 👉Warm water sip during day 👉Ghee (small amount) helps regulate fat if digestion is okay 👉Amla (fresh or powder), turmeric, black pepper, ginger
❌ Strictly Avoid: ❌Fried, oily food (samosa, paratha, street food) ❌Bakery items, cold drinks, sugary snacks ❌Excess wheat, dairy-heavy foods ❌Cold water, curd, paneer (especially at night) ❌Late-night eating
3. Fasting / Meal Skipping – is not the solution Skipping lunch daily may weaken Agni, and harm digestion long term.
🔄 Instead, follow this:
✅Light early dinner (before sunset ) ✅Have fruit or warm soup at lunch if you can’t cook ✅Weekly 1-day khichdi-only or fruit-based fasting (instead of daily skipping)
4. Daily Habits to Heal Your Liver
✅10–15 min brisk walk after meals (supports digestion) ✅Pranayama – especially Kapalbhati (if energy allows) and Anulom Vilom ✅Wake up early and have 1 glass warm water with lemon + pinch haldi
5. Monitor Progress Every 3 Months:
Repeat:
✔️Liver Function Test (LFT) ✔️Ultrasound ✔️Lipid profile ✔️Vitamin D, B12 (often low in NAFLD)
NAFLD reversal is possible within 3–6 months with a clean routine.
You’re doing a great job by taking the first steps — cutting sugar, reducing oil, and staying aware. Ayurveda can help you heal the liver, improve metabolism, and strengthen digestion without side effects. You just need to be consistent.
Wishing you strength and recovery😊

Take tablet Liv-52 -DS 1-0-1 after food with water Take aloevera juice 15ml twice daily after food with water Phaltrikadi kashaya 10ml twice daily after food with water Avoid fatty, high carbohydrate, starchy diet. Avoid alcohol completely. Do pranayam daily 5-10mins bhastrika lom -vilom kapalbhatti twice daily.
NAFLD grade 3 is significant, indicating severe fat accumulation in the liver. Addressing this condition involves a harmonious approach, combining diet, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic practices. Making changes in phases can seem daunting, especially for students living away from home.
First, focus on your core meals. Missing meals can disrupt digestion, leading to irregular agni (digestive fire). Instead of skipping meals, opt for lighter and regular meals to balance agni. Consider khichdi made with moong dal, rice, and minimal spices as it’s easy to digest.
Reduce sugar intake is a positive step, but consistency is crucial. Use natural sweeteners like jaggery or honey in moderation. When it comes to oil, opt for cooking with sesame oil or mustard oil sparingly, as some healthy fats are necessary for balancing vata dosha.
In Ayurveda, herbs like Turmeric and Amla (Indian gooseberry) play a supportive role. A daily warm water concoction with turmeric can support liver detoxification. Amla juice, known for its antioxidant properties, aids in rejuvenation.
Engage in a daily routine that includes 20-30 minutes of exercise. Yoga poses, such as Bhujangasana (cobra pose) and Dhanurasana (bow pose), stimulate liver function.
Lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress through Anulom Vilom (breathing exercises), support mental clarity and overall wellness. Prioritize sleep, maintaining regular sleeping hours as inadequate rest affects the liver’s natural detox cycle.
Incorporating triphala before bedtime stimulates gentle detox and supports digestive health. However, be cautious with quantities - about a half teaspoon in warm water is typically recommended.
Remember, consistency and patience are key. Severe conditions warrant consultation with a healthcare professional for tailored advice and monitoring. Balancing your lifestyle within your conditions is fundamental to supporting liver health and reducing NAFLD progression.
