Your liver generally consists of some amount of fat. But if the fat content in your liver goes beyond 10%, you might get fatty liver diseases. The two most common types of fatty liver diseases are Alcoholic liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. You might happen to develop this disease during pregnancy as your hormones might play an important role in accumulation of fat in liver cells.
Fatty liver is a medical condition in which the cells in your liver start accumulating abnormal amounts of fat. This amount of fat accumulation is usually accelerated by alcohol consumption. The accumulation of fat might be followed by progressive inflammation in the liver, which is commonly known as steatohepatitis.
However, this disease is a reversible condition and can be treated by availing certain treatments and remedies.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that makes use of herbs existing in the nature and formulates herbal remedies using the inherent power present in these herbs. We, in Ayurveda, believe that herbal remedies bring to you the richness of the herbs in a natural, unadulterated form. These combinations help improve immunity and provide strength, endurance and will.
Ayurveda uses the inherent power of natural herbs to bring about wonderful results on the human body. The herbs are natural and 100% safe. They improve the body metabolism and help recover from all disorders. The herbs improve the immunity and strengthen the vitality of the body in a healthy way. The infections with viruses and bacteria are relieved and the liver strengthened in a natural, herbal way.
