Ayurveda treatment for Cirrhosis of the liver
The liver is the largest gland in our body and one of the five major organs which are vital to life. It regulates the digestion,metabolism and many other physiological functions of the body. A malfunctioning of the liver may not become apparent immediately,unless, of course, the blood flow through it is impeded or the bile ducts are obstructed. Nor does it recover quickly once a disorder lodges itself in the organ. Damage of this organ may, therefore, lead to chronic gastritis, morning sickness and constipation. Apart from loss of appetite, the patient loss weight because of defective metabolism and he may suffer from diarrhoea and flatulence. There may be a little pain in the right upper portion of abdomen where the liver is located.
Slowly, the size of the liver increases and because of the pressure on the muscular wall which separates the lungs and heart from the organs in the abdomen the patient feels difficulty in breathing and coughing .He may also suffer from nausea and vomiting.
The liver tissue becomes fibrosed and it shrinks in size. Because of this shrinkage, the veinsous circulation gets obstructed, and there is an accumulation of water in the abdomen.
This disease generally occurs because of a faulty diet among children; among adults it is generally the result of excessive intake of alcoholic drinks. The liver helps neutralise the toxic effects of substances ingested and if such substances are taken in excess, it may fail to meet the demands made on it . The first thing that should be done before medication is started in a case of cirrhosis of the liver is to ban all intoxicating substances like tea,coffee,tobacco and alcohol.
According to Ayurveda Katuki (icrorrhiza kurroa) is the drug of choice for cirrhosis among adults. The root of the herb which grows at high altitudes is given in a powdered form.
One teaspoonful of the powder mixed with an equal amount of honey is administered three times a day. in case of constipation, the dose should be increased to double and be given with a cup of warm water three to four times a day. It stimulates the liver to produce more bile, the excretion of which relieves congestion of the liver and the tissues which have become defunct start functioning again.
A standard Ayurvedic medicine, Aarogyavardhini, a compound of Kutuki and clax of copper, it can be administered with advantage in cirrhosis of the liver. It has the property of reviving the cells which have become atrophied. A 250 mg. tablet of this medicine is available on the market and two of four tables amy be given thrice in the day with a cup of warm water.
The best remedy for this condition of the liver is Bhringaraja(eclipta alba) a small herb which grows in marshy lands. The juice of the leaves, flowers, stems and roots of the plants is administered in doses of one teaspoonful thrice daily in the case of infantile cirrhosis. The The Juice should be mixed with honey. Drugs prescribed for jaundice or hepatitis are also helpful in case of cirrhosis of the liver.
The diet is more important than any medication in cases of diseases of the liver. All fatty substances and foods hard to digest should be avoided. Skimmed milk or goat's milk,butter milk,juice of sugar cane, instead of curds, and garlic should be prescribed.
In case there is an accumulation of fluids in the region of the abdomen a salt-free-diet should be given to the patient.
Constipation should not be allowed to develop at any cost even if it needs a daily purgative or an enema. If the patient feels uneasiness without intake of salt, he may be permitted to use a little rock salt. Vegetables which are bitter in taste like bitter gourd should be given to the patient. Garlic is also very useful.
In addition, the patient should be advised to take complete rest. He should not sleep during the day and should not ride a vehicle which might jerk the whole body or take any violent exercise. The only exertion permitted is walking over a flat,even ground to avoid shaking the body.
