Liver Disorder

According to the WHO, the 10th most common cause of death in India is liver disease, which is diagnosed in around 10 lakh patients every year.

Natural therapies and practices seem to be the best way forward to combat this growing threat as the country faces a public health crisis that can threaten the lives of millions.

Liver Disorder

How does the Liver Function suffer?

Several unhealthy daily habits slow down liver function gradually and maintain proper liver function. With today’s fast-paced lifestyles and fast foods, saturated and trans fats, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and foods with high preservative levels negatively impact liver function, draining its essential resources.

The fast pace of life and the consumption of fast food are coupled with daily exposure to harmful pollutants that create even more complications for the liver. Different kinds of symptoms are experienced by people when their liver functions deteriorate, such as poor digestion, fatigue, skin eruptions, and headaches.

Due to the insufficient production or release of bile juice, which is required to break down fat-soluble compounds and improve digestion, a slow or congested liver can also be linked to digestive issues. After years of persistently declining liver function, sluggish bile flow can potentially result in the production of stones if it is not addressed. One of the most prevalent chronic liver illnesses in the world, fatty liver is typically found in adults between the ages of 30 and 50.
