Hepatitis is a medical condition in which the liver gets inflamed and damaged due to various causes such as viral infection, drug reactions, over-dosage of drugs, exposure to chemicals, and chronic abuse due to alcohol consumption. Hepatitis can be either acute or chronic if it persists for more than six months. Acute hepatitis usually results in jaundice which can be either because of excessive breakdown of red blood cells as seen in malaria, or due to an obstruction of the bile flow either in the bile duct or within the liver itself.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment for hepatitis is aimed at giving specific treatment for the inflammation and damage in the liver cells as well as treatment for any known causes for the condition. Ayurvedic herbal medicines are considered to be very useful in the management and treatment of both acute as well as chronic hepatitis. There are several well-known herbal medicines which specifically act on the liver and reduce inflammation and swelling of the liver cells, and bring about a reversal of the damage and dysfunction in the liver. Herbal medicines also normalize the flow of bile through the liver as well as within the bile duct.
Ayurvedic herbal medicines can also be given to treat and reverse damage due to drugs and chemicals as well as alcohol. Herbal medicines which act on the liver as well as other vital organs such as the kidneys and heart need to be given in combination to treat such situations. Chronic alcoholism also needs to be treated aggressively so as to help in an early remission of chronic hepatitis. Acute or chronic hepatitis resulting from viral infection also need specific treatment with Ayurvedic anti-viral herbal medicines which are very useful in the treatment of viral hepatitis.
Most individuals having chronic hepatitis also need treatment with herbal immunomodulatory agents so as to improve the overall immune status and to maintain the health and vitality of the patient. Chronic hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis of the liver which results in permanent damage and long-term complications which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Hence, early institution of Ayurvedic herbal treatment in the management of chronic hepatitis is very important so as to provide early remission from the condition and prevent long-term complications.
