Fatty Liver

Ayurvedic Treatment

What is Fatty Liver Disease?

Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fat in liver cells. It can be caused by various factors, including excessive alcohol consumption (alcoholic fatty liver disease) or non-alcoholic causes such as obesity, insulin resistance, high blood sugar (diabetes), high levels of fats in the blood (hyperlipidemia), or metabolic syndrome.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing fatty liver by focusing on improving digestion, detoxification, reducing inflammation, and promoting liver health. Here are key aspects of Ayurvedic treatment for fatty liver:
