Ayurvedic treatment for liver cirrhosis - Dr. Sharda Ayurveda

What is Liver Cirrhosis (Kumbha Kamala)?

Liver cirrhosis is a serious condition where scarring of the liver becomes so extensive that it can no longer function properly. The scarring is caused by long term damage that is usually irreversible. Regular and persistent build-up of systemic toxins (Ama) ultimately leads to overloading of the liver beyond its normal capacity. The liver cannot continue to cleanse and regenerate damaged cells. The build-up of scar tissue also blocks the flow of blood in the portal vein that leads to the liver. This obstructs the functions of the liver such as protein synthesis and secretion of bile and other substances. There are different ways of managing Kumbha Kamala in Ayurveda, which include bile secretion, reducing fibrosis and liver detoxification. These are more effective in people who are in early stages of cirrhosis and allow them to gain considerable improvement in quality and length of their life.

Causes of Liver Cirrhosis

Hepatitis Infection-It is a viral infection that leads to inflammation of the liver. This infection is chronic where hepatitis B and C are most commonly affecting individuals worldwide.
Excessive Alcohol Consumption-Excessive consumption of alcohol causes inflammation of the liver and can lead to permanent damage of the liver cells and conversion to scar cells.
Autoimmune Disease-The infections where the body cells instead of attacking the invasive microorganisms start attacking the healthy tissues of the body including organs which in turn lowers the immune system.
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver: Metabolic buildup of excess liver fat—closely linked with diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia—gradually advancing to fibrosis and cirrhosis. When left unmanaged, prolonged fat deposition damages healthy hepatic cells and leads to progressive scar tissue formation.
Hereditary-The family lineage sometimes hinders the metabolic process in the liver, inability to accumulate iron and copper in the system. Cystic fibrosis could be another genetic disorder causing liver cirrhosis.https://drshardaayurveda.com/pages/obesity

Symptoms of Liver Cirrhosis

There exists a list of Liver cirrhosis symptoms that are seen among patients. However, the frequency and intensity of these digestive concerns can vary from one person to another.

Spider Blood Vessels-The appearance of spider-shaped blood vessels when an artery surrounded by small vessels is affected due to damaged liver. Release of hormone estradiol leads to expansion of vessels.
Accumulation of Fluid in Abdomen-The majority of people develop an accumulation of fluid in the abdomen which is called ascites. If not treated timely can even lead to organ damage and ultimately death.
Jaundice-When RBC’s breakdown bilirubin is released which travels from the liver and passed through stools. But in liver cirrhosis, bilirubin gets accumulated in the toxic body. This condition mainly happens due to lifestyle modification.
Fatigue-It is the most common symptom seen in people affected with liver cirrhosis. It varies from every different individual i.e., some may experience on and off fatigue and sometimes constant. Its intensity can be mild or sometimes chronic.
Shrinkage in Size of Liver-Conversion of healthy tissue into scar tissue can lead to shrinkage of the liver. The development of scars affects the blood flow leading to damage to the liver.
