Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disorders are of two types: alcoholic and nonalcoholic. Ayurveda explains it as Yakrit Roga (liver disorder) and to some extent as Medaroga (body fat disorder) because both aspects are present in this disease. Generally, the problem is seen more frequently in men, however, women are also at risk.

In the Ayurvedic context, it can be correlated with Yakrutodar roga. The diseases that manifest themselves in the abdominal cavity causing distention of the abdomen is Udararoga. In this condition, Agni plays an important role in the manifestation of the disease. Mandagni and mal sanchay are two main causes of udar roga.

Ayurveda provides effective treatment through a holistic combination of herbal-mineral medications, ahara (diets), vihara (lifestyle recommendations) and vyama (gentle exercise).
