Hello I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ can feel your worry through your message. An alcoholic fatty liver with high SGOT/SGPT definitely requires a timely intervention. A sole Liv-52 therapy cannot reverse fatty liver if the consumption of alcohol and the process of digestion are not dealt with. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF. TREATMENT

✅ Most Important Step

❌ Absolute alcohol discontinuation for at least 3 months Even the tiniest amount of alcohol keeps the enzymes elevated.

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION

👉For Reducing Liver Enzymes 1 Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet after lunch & dinner - Reduces fat accumulation in liver - Controls SGPT/SGOT - Helps in clearing Ama

2 Punarnava Mandur – 2 tablets twice daily - Lowers liver inflammation - Improves liver blood flow - Removes swelling/water retention

👉 For Fatty Liver Reversal

1 Bhumyamalaki powder – 1 tsp morning with warm water - extensively proven hepatoprotective and diminishes fat deposit

👉Strengthening Digestion (very necessary)

Triphala powder – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (supports metabolic correction)

Liv-52 can still be used by you, however, it gives a better result when combined with the above-mentioned medicines.

✅ DIET MODIFICATION

❌Foods to Avoid (Very Crucial for Liver Recovery) Alcohol (strictly no) Fried and oily food Red meat Fast food, bakery items Sugar, sweets Milk + curd at night Soft drinks, packaged juices

✔️Foods to Include Drinking warm water throughout the day Moong dal khichdi Beetroot, carrot juice (100 ml/day) Turmeric + black pepper Garlic, methi seeds Green leafy vegetables 1 tsp cow ghee daily (helps liver detox)

✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

Have your dinner before 8 PM Brisk walk for 20-30 min daily Say no to late nights 5 min deep breathing practice (helps to relieve liver inflammation by parasympathetic activation)

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm Regards, Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

Hello,

An alcoholic fatty liver means your liver cells are stressed and inflamed because of alcohol intake. Over time, alcohol disrupts fat metabolism, leading to fat accumulation and raised liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, GGT). If not addressed early, it can lead to more serious issues — but the good news is that it’s completely reversible in the early and middle stages with lifestyle correction and Ayurvedic support.

❤️ Step 1: Stop Alcohol Completely This is non-negotiable. Even a small amount slows down liver healing.

Within 2–4 weeks of stopping alcohol, enzyme levels usually start dropping.

The liver can regenerate if given rest.

🌿 Step 2: Ayurvedic Medicines for Liver Healing 1.Liv-52 is good as a supportive tonic, but in your case (alcoholic fatty liver with high enzymes), you’ll need a stronger combination for proper detox and regeneration.

✅ Recommended Combination (Safe Ayurvedic Support) 1. Liv-52 DS – 2 tablets twice daily after meals 2. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals 3. Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri) Capsules or Juice – 1 capsule twice daily or 10–15 ml juice twice daily 4. Punarnava Mandur – 1 tablet twice daily after meals 5. Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water

(Continue for 3 months, then retest liver enzymes.)

🥗 Step 3: Diet Plan (Very Important) Foods to Eat 1.Warm, freshly cooked meals 2.Green leafy vegetables (esp. spinach, methi, coriander) 3.Fruits: papaya, apple, pomegranate, orange 4.Moong dal, khichdi, vegetable soups 5.Coconut water daily 6.A pinch of turmeric in warm water every morning

Foods to Avoid 🚫 Alcohol (completely stop) 🚫 Fried, spicy, or oily foods 🚫 Processed food, refined sugar, bakery items 🚫 Red meat 🚫 Cold drinks and caffeine in excess

🧘‍♂️ Step 4: Lifestyle + Home Tips * Wake up early (before 7 am) and have a light walk or yoga * Sleep by 10:30–11 pm * Practice deep breathing or Anulom Vilom 10 min/day * Drink 2–3 litres of warm water daily * Avoid stress; liver health improves with emotional calmness

⏳ Step 5: How Long for Recovery * 4–6 weeks: Enzyme levels usually start reducing * 3–6 months: Fatty liver changes can reverse (with strict alcohol abstinence and proper diet) * Recheck LFT (Liver Function Test) after 6 weeks to track progress

⚠️ Warning Signs (If You Notice, See Doctor Immediately) 1.Yellow eyes or skin 2.Abdominal swelling 3.Persistent vomiting 4.Severe fatigue or confusion

You’ve already taken a positive step by noticing the problem and using Liv-52. Now it’s about discipline and giving your liver a rest — it’s one of the few organs that can heal itself beautifully if treated right.

Warm regards Dr.Sumi MS(Ayu)

For alcoholic fatty liver with high enzymes taking liv 52 alone is usually not enough because liver needs deeper detoxification inflammation control and regeneration of damaged hepatocytes Along with that start on Punarnava mandura 1-0-1 Bhumyamlaki churna 1/4 th tsp with warm water Kumaryasava-15-0-15 ml with equal water Avoid late night meals fried food bakery items raw salads zero alcohol N if you follow consistently, you can see improvement sgot/ sgpt within 6 to 8 weeks.

Addressing alcoholic fatty liver and increased liver enzymes, requires a comprehensive approach. LIV 52, a well known Ayurvedic supplement, can support liver health, but it should not be solely relied upon for treatment. It’s important to integrate more holistic strategies supporting the liver’s recovery.

Firstly, complete abstinence from alcohol is crucial for the reversal of fatty liver and normalization of enzyme levels. This is non-negotiable, as ongoing alcohol consumption will continually damage liver tissues and impede healing. Alongside this, proper hydration is essential assisting liver function and elimination of toxins.

In terms of diet, emphasize a balanced and sattvic diet to aid liver regeneration. Limit intake of fatty, spicy, and processed foods. Instead, increase consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Foods like amla (Indian gooseberry), beetroot, turmeric, and garlic are particularly beneficial; they are known for their detoxifying and antioxidant properties. Incorporating guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) in the diet may also help due to its liver protective qualities.

In Ayurveda, managing agni (digestive fire) is central to improving liver function. Consider using herbal decoctions made from herbs like kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) and bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), known for supporting liver health. These can be prepared by boiling dried herbs in water, reducing it and consuming the filtered water.

Additionally, daily practices like yoga and pranayama can enhance digestion and reduce stress, positively impacting liver health. Practicing deep breathing and poses like Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) can invigorate the liver organ.

While these methods can contribute to liver health, it’s strongly advised to regularly monitor liver function through medical tests and work with a healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective management. In severe cases, more immediate medical interventions might be necessary. Prioritizing regular medical consultations indeed ensures effective supervision and adjustment of treatment strategies over time.

HELLO,

FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT STEP

Complete alcohol cessation No medicines, no herbs , no diet can work unless alcohol intake is 100% stopped. Liver enzymes cannot normalise unless you stop the cause

AURVEDIC VIEW Alcoholic fatty liver is seen as -Yakrit vriddhi/ Yakrit dushti -Pitta aggravated + kapha accumulation in liver -Ama (toxins) buildup

Management focuses on -stopping pitta-kapha aggravation -detoxifing liver -resotring hepatocyte function

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = improves liver metabolism, reduces fat, clears toxin

2) PUNARNAVADI KASHAAYA= 15ml + equal water twice daily before meals =decreases liver swelling, improves bilirubin, reduces fluid retention

3) BHUMI AMLA CAPSULES= 1 cap twice daily after meals = very effective in fatty liver, natural hepatoprotective

4) KALMEGHA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp twice daily with warm water = strong anti inflammatory plant, helps reduces SGPT/ SGOT I many cases

5) LIV 52 = useful but not enough alone for alcoholic fatty liver. Usual it is given as a supportive medicine

DIET -warm, fresh homemade food -mung dal, red rice, millets -lauki, karela, methi, spinach - beetroot, carrot, radish - fruits= papaya, apple, pomegranate -healthy fats= small amounts of ghee -herbal water= cumin-coriander-fennel water

DRINKS -amla juice (morning) - aloe vera juice (empty stomach) -warm water throughout the day

AVOID -alcohol strictly - fried/oily food -red meat -sugar, sweets, bakery items -processed food, junk food -soft drinks - late night eating

LIFESTYLE -Sleep before 11 pm -30-45 min daily walk - avoid stress -avoid smoking -avoid daytime sleep

HOW LONG DOES RECOVERY TAKE? -with complete alcohol stoppage + treatment= 6-12 sees for enzymes to begin normalising -Fatty liver reversal = 3-6 months

If alcohol continues -> no treatment will work

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
