Ayurveda Perspective & Management of Hepatitis

Ayurveda has been identifying and treating diseases for 5000 years, with most of these diseases having only been recently identified by modern science. One such widely known condition is that of Hepatitis. While medicine defines Hepatitis as the inflammation of liver caused by infection, & contamination, Ayurveda has a different perspective towards explaining Hepatitis.

The efficacy of ayurveda has always laid in the fact that instead of curing the symptoms, this ancient science has always made an approach to solving the issue from the very root. With this in mind, here is a full Ayurvedic Perspective on Hepatitis, and how you can learn to manage this disease with natural means.

Understanding Hepatitis

Our liver is the largest organ in our bodies, and has been known to be naturally tasked with a number of important functions that are important for the body’s digestive system, circulatory system, and immune system. It helps the body absorb a number of important nutrients, while also detoxifying it. Most importantly, liver is where the body produces Bile (pitta) which helps the body in digesting our food.

Ayurveda defines most conditions of the liver as an aggravated condition of the Pitta. When there is a blockage in the flow or excess of bile production in the body, it aggravates the digestive Agni of our body, causing conditions of the liver which includes hepatitis as well. There are a number of sure symptoms that can be used to diagnose hepatitis, including:

• Muscle pain
• Joint pain
• Temperature above 38°C
• Feeling sick
• Fatigue
• Appetite loss
