AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF ALCOHOLIC LIVER DISORDER: A REVIEW

This review article explores the potential of Ayurvedic interventions in managing Alcoholic Liver Disorder (ALD). ALD, a spectrum of liver diseases caused by excessive alcohol consumption, poses a significant global health burden. While conventional treatments offer some relief, they often come with limitations and side effects. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a holistic approach to health and disease management. This review examines the Ayurvedic understanding of ALD, its diagnostic principles, and various therapeutic modalities, including herbal formulations, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations, that may offer a complementary or alternative approach to managing ALD. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current evidence base and highlight potential avenues for future research in this field.
