TO STUDY THE EFFICACY OF POLY HERBO-MINERAL COMPOUND IN THE MANAGEMENT OF GRADE I & GRADE II FATTY LIVER (HEPATIC STEATOSIS)

Abstract

Hepatic Steatosis is a common predicament in society due to changes in lifestyle and food practices. Depending upon the cause and amount of accumulation, fatty change may be mild and reversible, or severe producing irreversible cell injury and cell death. Disturbances of lipid metabolism in the liver due to various etiological factors lead to Fatty Liver. Ayurveda has immense potential in the management of Non-Communicable Diseases, and Fatty liver is one among them. In Ayurveda, a direct correlation of Fatty liver is not found but it can be considered under Yakrit roga and Medo roga, as a Santarpanjanya Vyadhi. Hepatic steatosis patients are treated with Triphaladi yoga and Yashtimadhu churna for 3 months, in the Department of Kayachikitsa, Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Guwahati. This trial aims to formulate a practical Ayurvedic protocol for the management of Grade I and Grade II Fatty liver. However, further research studies are needed to fulfil the aims and objectives.
