hello Vn,
Thank you for sharing your concern. Based on your message, it seems you were drinking alcohol for 5–7 days in a 15-day cycle, and chewing tobacco as well. After taking treatment from an MBBS doctor, your Liver Function Test (LFT) came back normal, but the doctor mentioned there may have been a cyst and gave a deworming (tapeworm) medicine.
Even if LFT is normal now, it’s very important to protect the liver from further damage and allow it to heal fully especially if you had a fatty liver or early-stage liver stress due to alcohol or other toxins.
According to Ayurveda, excessive alcohol and tobacco lead to Yakrit Dushti (liver vitiation), Rakta dushti (blood impurities), and Ama accumulation. This can later develop into Yakritodara (enlarged/fatty liver) or Yakrit Granthi (cyst formation). Tobacco worsens Vata and Pitta, creating dryness, toxicity, and poor dhatu formation.
Treatment Plan (simple and effective)
1. Ama Pachana (Initial 3 days):
Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for 3–5 days OR Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime
2. internal Medicines (1 month):
Arogyavardhini Vati – 2 tabs twice a day after food Liver syrup (Ayurvedic) – Try Himalaya Liv.52 Syrup – 10 ml twice daily Kutki Churna – ¼ tsp with honey or warm water once daily in the morning
3. Detox Home Remedies:
Lemon water with pinch of turmeric and black pepper every morning Aloe vera juice (15–20 ml) on empty stomach Add beetroot, turmeric, ginger and green moong dal in diet Avoid fried, spicy, alcohol, tobacco, and refined sugar completely
Note: If cyst was confirmed in ultrasound, repeat ultrasound after 3 months of above treatment to check improvement. Also drink 3–4 litres of warm water daily, and stop all chewing tobacco/alcohol to avoid long-term liver complications.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, dr.Karthika
The liver cyst and fatty liver conditions you’ve described are important to address, and while it’s great that your liver function tests (LFT) are back to normal, managing the root cause and promoting liver health is essential. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of balancing the doshas, and particularly in liver issues, focusing on Pitta dosha is crucial.
Firstly, consider modifying your diet and lifestyle. Reduce or eliminate the intake of alcohol and tobacco products completely, as these can aggravate the liver. Incorporate a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes. Avoid excessively spicy, salty or oily foods, and instead include liver-friendly foods like turmeric (haldi), which can be beneficial for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Triphala is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy that can support liver detoxification and digestion. You can take it in a powder or tablet form before bed with warm water. Aim for teaspoon or as directed on the packaging based on your constitution and dosha balance.
Drinking warm water with a squeeze of lemon in the morning helps to cleanse the liver. It’s simple, yet effective for promoting bile production, though be mindful if acidity occurs. Avoid it if you have high pitta symptoms like heartburn or indigestion.
You might consider Ayurvedic formulations like Arogyavardhini Vati which is often recommended for liver health. Take this under supervision of an Ayurvedic physician as it helps balance all three doshas and supports liver function.
It’s essential to engage in a moderate exercise routine. Pranayama or deep-breathing exercises can circulate prana (life energy) and support detoxification. Anulom Vilom or Nadi Shodhana may be particularly beneficial here.
While home remedies can support healing, always follow your healthcare provider’s medication and advice. If you notice adverse changes in your condition or new symptoms, consult a medical professional promptly. Always ensure your Ayurvedic treatment aligns with any existing medical treatments, especially with conditions involving the liver.
Fatty liver and liver cysts can often be handled with a combination of lifestyle changes and specific Siddha-Ayurvedic recommendations. Since your Liver Function Test (LFT) is now normal, this suggests progress, but continued attention is essential to maintain health. In Ayurveda, the liver is a critical organ involved in digestion and metabolism, and maintaining a balanced agni (digestive fire) is vital.
First, limit alcohol and tobacco usage as they can significantly affect the liver’s health and aggravate pitta dosha which might lead to such conditions. Including turmeric in your diet is beneficial; curcumin, its active component, is known for its liver-detoxifying properties—try adding a pinch to warm water and drinking it first thing in the morning.
Further, the use of herbs like bhumiamalaki and punarnava can be beneficial. They help to support liver function and are known to aid in regenerating liver tissues. You could take these in the form of churnas (powders) with warm water twice daily. Engaging in regular physical activity to maintain a healthy weight also can help mitigate fatty liver disease.
Dietary changes are cardinal; avoiding heavy, greasy, or excessively spicy food will help keep the liver in balance. Instead, focus on a diet rich in whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables. Drink lemon water as it supports the liver and aids digestion. For fatty liver, herbal formulations like Arogyavardhini Vati can be beneficial.
However, ensure thorough consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any treatment to find a regime suitable for your body’s constitution (prakriti) and condition. If you experience severe symptoms or any new symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
