Liver cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis from the point of view of Ayurveda
Liver is the largest gland of our body that maintains the digestion process and helps to filter the toxins from blood and produce or store the enzymes that help digest the food. It stores nutrients and sugar to boost the immune system. Liver cirrhosis is the formation of scar tissue on the liver that replaces healthy liver tissue while partially blocking blood flow through the liver . Every day the liver is affected and damaged by harmful toxins. Liver cirrhosis develops because of excessive toxins collection in the body, and it reduces the liver’s metabolic function, leading to lack of nutrition to the body cells. Pitta is predominant Dosha for the liver. Most liver diseases are caused by aggravated conditions of Pitta dosha. Excessive bile production or a blockage in the flow of bile usually indicates aggravated Pitta dosha. Using excessive amounts of alcohol and having lack of exercise, eating junk food, and having a sedentary lifestyle are linked with liver cirrhosis. Main symptoms of liver cirrhosis are that the person may become tired, weak, itchy, have swelling in the legs, yellowing of skin, fluid accumulation in the abdomen or develop spider-like blood vessels on the skin.
