ABSTRACT

Background: Liver diseases are prevalent and often present with a spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from digestive disturbances to systemic symptoms. The present case highlights the successful management of a 30-year-old male with abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) and associated symptoms, using an integrative approach of Ayurveda-based interventions. Case Presentation: A 30-year-old male presented with complaints of chronic constipation, bloating immediately after meals, decreased appetite, disturbed sleep, acidity, generalized body pain, and lethargy. Initial investigations revealed elevated bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT levels, confirming hepatic dysfunction. Based on Ayurvedic principles, the patient was diagnosed with Yakrit Vikara (liver disorder) associated with Agni Dushti (digestive fire impairment) and Vata-Pitta imbalance. Intervention and Outcome: The patient was managed with a comprehensive Ayurvedic regimen, including Ayurveda formulations having ingredients such as Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa), Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri), and Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), dietary modifications emphasizing liver-friendly and digestion-supportive foods, and lifestyle adjustments incorporating regular meal timings, yoga, and pranayama. Over a treatment period of three months, there was significant clinical improvement, with resolution of symptoms and normalization of appetite, digestion, and sleep. Post-treatment LFT showed normalization of bilirubin, SGOT, and SGPT levels, indicating a marked improvement in liver function. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the efficacy of Ayurveda in managing liver dysfunction holistically through personalized interventions targeting the root cause of the disease. The outcomes emphasize the importance of integrating Ayurveda-based approaches into liver disease management for symptomatic relief and biochemical improvement.
