THE CONCEPTUAL REVIEW OF TRAYANTYADI KASHAYA IN ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (AFLD)

Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) is a liver condition caused by excessive alcohol consumption, leading to fat accumulation in liver cells, inflammation, and potential progression to more severe liver disorders such as cirrhosis and liver failure. Ayurvedic medicine offers several natural remedies for managing liver diseases, and one such formulation is Trayantyadi Kashaya. This conceptual review aims to explore the therapeutic potential of Trayantyadi Kashaya in the treatment of AFLD by examining its pharmacological properties, clinical applications, and mechanisms of action. Trayantyadi Kashaya is a traditional Ayurvedic Kashaya  composed of multiple herbs known for their hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Key ingredients like Trayanti, Triphala, nimba, Katuki, Maduka, Trivrith, Patola and Masura, are believed to play an essential role in mitigating the pathological processes associated with AFLD. These herbs work by reducing oxidative stress, promoting detoxification, enhancing lipid metabolism, and protecting the liver from further damage. The review synthesizes the existing Ayurvedic literature and modern scientific findings to present an integrated understanding of how Trayantyadi Kashaya can contribute to managing AFLD. The findings suggest that Trayantyadi Kashaya holds promise as a supportive, holistic treatment approach for AFLD, offering potential benefits in terms of improving liver function, preventing fibrosis, and supporting overall liver regeneration. This review emphasizes the importance of combining traditional Ayurvedic therapies with modern medical practices in the management of chronic liver diseases.
