Hepatitis: Ayurvedic Approach to Liver Wellness
Hepatitis refers to the inflammation of the liver, commonly caused by viral infections, alcohol abuse, or autoimmune disorders. This condition can lead to symptoms such as jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain, significantly affecting liver function. Ayurveda offers natural and holistic treatments to manage hepatitis by detoxifying the liver, balancing doshas, and improving immunity. At Ayur Khyati, we provide personalized Ayurvedic care to support liver recovery and enhance overall well-being.
Understanding Hepatitis in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, hepatitis is associated with an aggravated Pitta Dosha, which governs metabolism and digestion. Excess Pitta, coupled with toxin accumulation (Ama) in the liver, leads to inflammation and impaired liver function. Ayurvedic treatments focus on detoxifying the liver, reducing inflammation, and restoring doshic balance for sustainable recovery.

A Pitta-pacifying diet is recommended, featuring cooling foods like coconut water, cucumber, and buttermilk. Spicy, fried, and processed foods are avoided to reduce liver strain. - Rasayana Therapy:
