NAFLD
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Ayurvedic Solutions for Liver Health
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a condition where fat builds up in the liver due to poor metabolism and lifestyle habits, rather than alcohol consumption. Ayurveda provides holistic and natural treatments to manage NAFLD by detoxifying the liver, improving digestion, and restoring metabolic balance. At Ayur Khyati, we offer personalized Ayurvedic treatments to promote liver regeneration and enhance overall well-being.
Understanding NAFLD in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, NAFLD is associated with imbalances in the Kapha and Pitta Doshas. Excess Kapha leads to fat accumulation, while aggravated Pitta contributes to liver inflammation. Poor digestion and toxin buildup (Ama) further exacerbate the condition. Ayurvedic treatments aim to cleanse the liver, improve metabolism, and restore balance for sustainable recovery.
Ayurvedic Treatment for NAFLD
- Herbal Remedies:
Herbs like Kutki, Kalmegh, Punarnava, and Bhumi Amla help detoxify the liver, reduce fat accumulation, and support liver regeneration. - Detoxification (Shodhana):
Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (purgation) are used to eliminate toxins and restore liver function. - Dietary Modifications:
A Kapha-Pitta pacifying diet is recommended, including fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Processed, fatty, and sugary foods are avoided to reduce liver strain. - Rasayana Therapy:
Rejuvenating treatments with Ayurvedic formulations like Triphala and Chyawanprash support liver health and enhance immunity. - Lifestyle Adjustments:
Incorporating regular physical activity, yoga, and stress-reducing practices like meditation supports metabolic balance and liver recovery.
