For a fatty liver grade 1, Ayurveda offers several natural ways that can support liver function and help bring balance to your overall health. First, it’s important to focus on balancing the kapha dosha, often associated with the accumulation of fat in the liver. You’re already on the right track with dietary changes—continuing a diet that reduces processed, fried, and sugary foods helps prevent further fat accumulation.
Consider incorporating Ayurvedic herbs like Turmeric (Haridra) and Phyllanthus (Bhumyamalaki). Turmeric supports liver function and can be consumed with warm milk or in food daily. Phyllanthus can be taken in the form of a tea or supplement. Both herbs are known for their hepatoprotective properties.
Movement is crucial, too. A daily routine that includes around 30 minutes of brisk walking or yoga can be beneficial for managing weight and enhancing metabolism—both important for liver health. Avoiding alcohol is another key step; it helps lessen the liver’s load.
Fostering good digestion is essential; incorporating spices like cumin and coriander in your meals can stimulate agni (digestive fire) and aid in better digestion. Similarly, drinking warm water throughout the day supports metabolic processes.
For managing stress, which you rightly pointed out can worsen symptoms, practices like pranayama or controlled breathing may help calm the mind. Even brief, regular sessions can be quite effective in reducing stress levels and enhancing energy flow.
If symptoms persist or if you notice any new concerning symptoms, it might be wise to consult with a healthcare provider familiar with both conventional and Ayurvedic precautions to ensure a holistic approach to your liver health. Always listen to your body and adjust your practices as needed.
