ABSTRACT

Chronic liver disease is a very broad term applied to a group of diseased liver conditions over a time more than 6 months. Ayurvedic approach towards liver diseases is very deep and gives a promising concept of treatment. Liver performs a variety of functions that’s why any damage to liver can lead to mal-functioning of all these functions. There are references of Yakrita vriddhi and yakrita vikara found in ayurvedic classic books. Ayurvedic management not only includes medicinal treatment for its cure but also includes recommendation of diet and activities. Here, the case of chronic liver disease to a female patient of young age (25 years) is going to present in this article. She consulted to the Jeena Sikho Lifecare Ltd. Hospital, Bangalore, Karnataka on 16.04.2024 with complains of general weakness, body ache, abdominal pain etc. Her ayurvedic treatment and lifestyle modification played a key role in managing her chronic condition of liver disease by showing positive result in sonography scan along with diminishing of clinical features. As she had chronic liver disease with complications like mild splenomegaly, mild ascites etc. it would take more time for significant result but the result was promising. Diet and activities helped her to prevent the disease from becoming chronic or more severe than the present condition by causing samprapti bhanga (breakage of pathogenesis).
