ABSTRACT

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), encompassing a range of liver conditions including Grade 3 fatty liver (severe hepatic steatosis), represents a significant global health issue exacerbated by rising obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndromes. Modern medical treatments largely focus on lifestyle changes with limited pharmacological interventions. This case study explores the effectiveness of a comprehensive Ayurvedic management strategy in treating a 68-year-old male with Grade 3 fatty liver. The personalized therapeutic regimen included ayurvedic medications, combined with Panchakarma detoxification therapies and specific dietary adjustments. Post-treatment evaluations demonstrated notable improvements: a reduction in liver size from 144mm to 127mm, normalization of liver echotexture, significant decrease in ALT levels and improved glycaemic control. These results highlight the potential of Ayurvedic treatments in managing advanced stages of NAFLD by restoring Doshic balance, enhancing metabolic processes and reducing systemic toxins. The findings suggest a viable complementary approach to conventional treatments, emphasizing the need for further research to integrate Ayurveda into global strategies battling NAFLD.
