Liver Cirrhosis
Liver Cirrhosis is a serious, progressive condition in which healthy liver tissue is gradually replaced by scar tissue (fibrosis). This scarring blocks blood flow and affects the liver’s ability to perform vital functions such as detoxification, digestion, protein synthesis, and hormone regulation.
Cirrhosis is usually the end stage of chronic liver diseases, including hepatitis B/C, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and autoimmune conditions. Symptoms may include jaundice, fatigue, swelling, confusion, digestion issues, and abdominal pain.
If left untreated, cirrhosis can lead to liver failure, requiring a transplant.
Chiraayu Ayurveda’s Approach to Liver Cirrhosis
In Ayurveda, liver cirrhosis is linked to “Yakrit Roga”, primarily involving Pitta Dosha imbalance, coupled with Vata-Kapha aggravation and the accumulation of Ama (toxins). Ayurveda addresses both the symptoms and root causes of liver deterioration by cleansing the liver, repairing damaged tissues, and reviving digestive fire (Agni).
At Chiraayu Ayurveda, we combine classical Ayurvedic principles with modern insights to offer safe, natural, and effective care for managing liver cirrhosis and preventing further damage.
