Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Liver diseases are among the common causes of morbidity and mortality in India and globally. An Ayurvedic approach to liver disorders has the potential to restore liver health and reduce their prevalence, particularly because many liver conditions are linked to unhealthy lifestyle practices. Ayurveda emphasizes a disciplined and healthy lifestyle and offers numerous herbs and minerals with hepatoprotective properties. This case report presents a 53-year-old male patient diagnosed with hepatomegaly and fatty liver who sought treatment at Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited Clinic, Patiala, Punjab, India. Hepatomegaly refers to liver enlargement, while fatty liver is characterized by excessive fat accumulation in liver tissue. Both conditions can be correlated with Yakrit Vriddhi in Ayurveda. The patient initially presented with symptoms including mild constipation, flatulence, and loss of appetite. He was treated with Ayurvedic formulations along with lifestyle modifications. Following the course of treatment, his symptoms subsided, and follow-up sonographic reports indicated a return to normal liver health.
