Ayurvedic Diagnosis for Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disease (FLD), characterised by fat accumulation in liver cells, has become increasingly common worldwide. This condition can lead to serious complications, including liver inflammation, cirrhosis, and liver failure if left untreated. 

While modern medicine often relies on lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgical interventions, Ayurveda, the ancient system of healing from India, offers a holistic approach to managing and reversing fatty liver disease. 

Numerous centres are offering specialised Ayurvedic treatments for fatty liver. These treatments focus on detoxifying the liver, restoring the balance of the body’s energies (doshas) and improving overall health.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Fatty Liver

In Ayurveda, Fatty Liver is understood as a disorder related to the imbalance of the Pitta and Kapha doshas. According to Ayurvedic principles, an unhealthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle, and improper digestion contribute to the body’s accumulation of toxins (Ama). These toxins, combined with aggravated Pitta and Kapha doshas, can lead to the development of fatty liver.

Causative Factors for fatty liver, according to Ayurveda

The causative factors leading to fatty liver are consuming plenty of milk and dairy products with excessive spices like chilli and no physical exercise with a sedentary lifestyle. Even your afternoon naps can contribute to this. Kapha predominant Prakriti or kapha pitta predominant Prakriti people can get this easily.

Ayurvedic treatment for fatty liver focuses on balancing and pacifying Pitta and Kapha doshas, improving digestion, and detoxifying the liver. 

Yoga Poses Recommended for Fatty Liver

While yoga alone may not cure fatty liver disease, it can complement a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. Yoga can help improve flexibility, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being. Here are some yoga poses that may be beneficial for individuals with fatty liver disease:

Mountain Pose (Tadasana): This pose helps improve posture and alignment, promoting better liver function.

Twisting Poses (e.g., Bharadvajasana): Twisting poses can stimulate the abdominal organs, including the liver. Always perform twists with awareness and avoid over-twisting.

Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana): This pose can help stretch the spine and stimulate the liver.

Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): This pose can help strengthen the back muscles and improve blood circulation to the abdominal organs.

Child’s Pose (Balasana): This relaxing pose can help reduce stress and may benefit overall liver health.

Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana): Cobra pose can help strengthen the back muscles and stimulate abdominal organs.

Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana): This inversion pose can help improve blood circulation and may positively affect the liver.

Cat-Cow Pose (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana): This dynamic flow between cat and cow poses can help massage the abdominal organs and improve spinal flexibility.

Warrior Poses (Virabhadrasana I and II): These poses can help strengthen the legs and open the chest, promoting better overall circulation.

Corpse Pose (Savasana): This final relaxation pose can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.

Additionally, yoga should be practised mindfully, and individuals should listen to their bodies, avoiding poses that cause discomfort or pain. Regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and a healthy weight are crucial to managing fatty liver disease.

Fatty Liver Ayurvedic Treatment

Why Choose Ayurveda for Fatty Liver?

Ayurveda, known for its safe and effective treatments, holds promising potential in addressing Fatty Liver Disease (FLD). Virechana, a prominent detoxification therapy, is particularly suitable for managing liver disorders, especially in cases of imbalanced doshas (Bahu Doshavastha) and obstructed channels (Srotorodha).Furthermore, Ayurveda offers a range of safe and efficacious hepatoprotective herbs to address various liver ailments. These herbs play a vital role in supporting liver function and promoting its health.

As Fatty Liver progresses to more advanced stages when the body tissues (Dhatus) become involved, the treatment approach shifts towards the purification (Prasadana) of Rasa (plasma) and Rakta (blood). Additionally, Yakritshothahara Chikitsa, a specialized treatment for liver disorders, is recommended to comprehensively manage and alleviate the condition.
