Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, is a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver cells. It can occur due to various factors, including poor diet, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, diabetes, and high cholesterol. If left untreated, fatty liver can progress to more severe liver conditions, such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, or even liver failure. Ayurveda offers a holistic and natural approach to manage and treat fatty liver by focusing on detoxification, liver rejuvenation, and restoring balance in the body.

In Ayurvedic medicine, the liver is seen as the primary organ for detoxification and metabolism. When the liver is overwhelmed with toxins or fatty deposits, it becomes sluggish and unable to perform its functions properly. Ayurvedic treatment for fatty liver aims to support liver function, reduce excess fat, improve digestion (Agni), and balance the doshas (particularly Pitta and Kapha).
