Ayurvedic Treatment for Liver Disorders (Yakrit Vikara)

Purify • Protect • Rejuvenate – Heal Your Liver Naturally with Ayurveda

The liver is one of the most vital organs of the human body. It regulates metabolism, filters toxins from the blood, aids digestion, stores nutrients, and maintains overall balance in the body. When liver function becomes compromised, it can lead to serious health complications affecting multiple systems.

In Ayurveda, liver disorders are described as Yakrit Vikara, falling under Raktavaha Srotas Vikara (disorders of blood-carrying channels). Ayurveda views these conditions as a result of dosha imbalance (mainly Pitta and Kapha), weak digestive fire (Agni), and accumulation of Ama (toxins) that obstruct liver channels and disturb bile metabolism.

At Vedayu Wellness Ayurvedic Hospital, we follow a holistic approach to liver care—detoxifying the system, rejuvenating liver tissue, and correcting lifestyle patterns for long-term wellness.

 

Common Liver Disorders (Yakrit Vikara)

Ayurveda recognizes multiple liver-related disorders, many of which correlate with modern conditions:

  • Fatty Liver (Yakrit Vriddhi / Medoroga)
  • Hepatitis (Yakrit Shotha / inflammation of liver)
  • Liver Cirrhosis (Yakrit Kshaya – atrophy and fibrosis)
  • Liver Enlargement (Yakrit Vriddhi)
  • Jaundice (Kamala)
  • Gall Bladder & Bile Flow Disorders
  • Liver Abscess / Cyst (Yakrit Vidradhi / Yakrit Granthi)
  • Anemia & Blood Disorders (Panduroga)

Symptoms to Watch For:

  • Yellowish skin or eyes (jaundice)
  • Loss of appetite, indigestion, bloating
  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Dark urine or pale stools
  • Pain or heaviness in the right abdomen
  • Swelling in legs or abdomen (ascites in cirrhosis)

Ayurveda’s Understanding of Liver Disorders

  • The liver is the seat of Ranjaka Pitta, which governs blood purification and bile secretion.
  • Vitiated Pitta → leads to inflammation, hepatitis, jaundice.
  • Vitiated Kapha → leads to fatty liver, sluggish metabolism, cysts.
  • Vitiated Vata → leads to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and degeneration.
  • Ama (toxins) accumulate when Agni (digestive fire) is weak, obstructing liver channels and impairing filtration.

Thus, treatment focuses on Pitta–Kapha pacification, Ama elimination, Agni strengthening, and Rasayana (rejuvenation) for long-term liver vitality.
