Viral hepatitis is
inflammation of the liver with viral infection.
Viral hepatitis can be caused due to different types of viruses known as
A, B, C, D, and E. These infections have
different symptoms and presentations and variable long-term outcomes and
complications. Viral hepatitis A usually
has an acute course, resolves within a few months, and rarely has any long-term
complications. Hepatitis B, C, D, and E.
usually have long-term courses and cause complications like chronic hepatitis,
liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer.
Vaccines are available for most of these infections.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment
is very effective in the management and treatment of all different types of
viral hepatitis. Several medicines have
achieved worldwide fame for the specific and effective action on the
liver. Ayurvedic herbal medicines reduce
infection and inflammation in the liver cells and help to reduce long-term
complications as well as permanent damage.
Many herbal medicines also have specific anti-viral action and therefore
help to eliminate viruses which cause hepatitis.
Herbal medicines and
combinations are available in tablet form as well as liquid form and can
therefore be given both to adults as well as children. Depending upon the type of infection, the presenting
symptoms, as well as the severity of liver damage, treatment needs to be given
for periods ranging from four weeks to one year, in order to achieve
significant improvement or a complete cure.
Ayurvedic herbal medicines have completely changed the prognosis and
overall treatment outcomes for all different types of hepatitis.
