Liver Cirrohsis - #747

In Ayurveda, liver cirrhosis, along with associated issues like a shrunken gallbladder and spleen problems, is viewed as a severe imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to impaired liver function and accumulation of toxins (Ama). While complete reversal of cirrhosis may not be possible, Ayurveda can help manage symptoms, improve liver function, and slow progression. I recommend Punarnava Mandur and Arogyavardhini Vati for supporting liver detoxification and regeneration. Bhringraj and Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata) are potent herbs for liver protection and reducing inflammation. Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa) helps in rejuvenating liver cells and improving bile flow. Additionally, a Pitta-pacifying diet—avoiding spicy, oily, and processed foods—is crucial. Regular intake of fresh vegetables, fruits, and adequate hydration, along with lifestyle modifications like stress management and avoiding alcohol, is essential. Regular monitoring by an Ayurvedic practitioner, along with continued medical supervision, is advised.
