Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, liver parenchymal disease is viewed as an imbalance in *Pitta dosha*, particularly in *Ranjaka Pitta*, which governs liver function. Ayurvedic guidance focuses on balancing *Pitta* and cleansing the liver. Herbs like *Bhumi Amla* (Phyllanthus niruri) and *Katuki* (Picrorhiza kurroa) support liver detoxification and reduce inflammation, while *Guduchi* (Tinospora cordifolia) strengthens immunity and aids liver function. A *Pitta*-pacifying diet of cooling, easy-to-digest foods such as leafy greens, beets, and gourds is beneficial, and turmeric and fresh aloe vera juice (2-3 tablespoons daily) can soothe the liver. Avoiding spicy, fried, and processed foods, as well as alcohol, is essential. Regular meals, gentle exercise like yoga and walking, and possibly *Panchakarma* therapy—particularly *Virechana* (therapeutic purgation) under professional supervision—may further support liver health and balance *Pitta*. Regular follow-ups with both Ayurvedic and medical practitioners are important for monitoring and managing liver health.

In Ayurveda, liver parenchymal disease with mildly coarsened texture indicates an imbalance in the Pitta dosha affecting liver function. Despite normal liver function test (LFT) values, maintaining liver health is crucial to prevent progression. Ayurvedic herbs like Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata), and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) are highly beneficial for supporting liver function and promoting detoxification. A balanced Pitta-pacifying diet, avoiding spicy, fried, and sour foods, will reduce liver strain and support recovery. Opt for easily digestible, warm, and lightly spiced foods, and increase water intake to flush toxins. Arogyavardhini Vati is a classical Ayurvedic formulation that can help improve liver function and balance liver enzymes when taken under supervision. Alongside diet, incorporating regular Triphala at bedtime can help maintain bowel regularity and reduce toxin accumulation. Daily consumption of warm water infused with a bit of turmeric or amla juice may further aid liver health. Regular monitoring of liver function and follow-ups with an Ayurvedic practitioner for tailored guidance are recommended to support long-term liver vitality and prevent disease progression.

Thank you madam
Alright, so we're dealing with liver parenchymal disease here. Since you've mentioned the mildly coarsened echo texture, it's suggesting some level of liver tissue changes but nothing very advanced like cirrhosis or anything, which is a bit relieving. Good news is there's a lot Ayurveda can do to support liver health and functionality. First, we need to focus on balancing the Pitta dosha, since the liver is primarily governed by Pitta. It's important for her to avoid spicy, oily, and overly tangy foods that aggravate Pitta. Encourage more cooling foods like cucumber, melons, and leafy greens. Aloe vera juice daily on an empty stomach can be quite beneficial too, like 20 ml diluted in a glass of water. Her digestive fire, or Agni, must be strong. To aid this, you might want to include ginger tea before meals, say 30 minutes prior—it'll help stimulate digestion. Diluting a little bit of Indian gooseberry (amla) powder in warm water can help revitalize liver function as well. Considering lifestyle, ensure her stress levels are kept in balance, maybe introduce calming practices like Pranayama or yoga. Even just 10-15 minutes a day can positively impact her liver health. Encourage her to sleep by 10 pm because liver detoxifies more effectively when we sleep early. Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), known for its liver-protective effects, could be quite helpful. She should take about a teaspoon of the powdered herb with water twice a day, but just a heads up, it'd be good to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor this specifically to her prakriti. Of course, keep regular check-ups with your primary healthcare provider. If there's any sudden pain or increased jaundice, don't hesitate to get immediate medical help, just in case. Liver health might seem challenging but, with a structured approach, it's very manageable.
