Topic: Ayurvedic Perspective of Liver
Abstract: The liver is endlessly filtering and detoxifying the blood and it plays a significant role in digestion and metabolism. But the liver also synthesizes protein, produces critically important enzymes and hormones, breaks down and recycles tired blood cells, and regulates glycogen storage. As our primary organ of detoxification, the liver has the important job of protecting the deeper tissues from impurities in the blood that might otherwise cause harm. However, over-exposure to toxins such as alcohol, prescription or recreational drugs, environmental pollutants, and the like, has the potential to adversely impact the liver itself. The liver possesses a remarkable ability to heal and rejuvenate itself. This is something that sets the liver apart from other organs and tissues. But if we want the liver to repair itself efficiently, we must offer it periodic rest. This resource is intended to provide some practical guidance on how to encourage the overall health and rejuvenation of the liver—both in our daily lives and in more focused periods of cleansing and detoxification.

Topic: Autoimmune hepatitis -an overview in Ayurveda
Abstract: Autoimmune hepatitis, formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells, causing the liver to be inflamed. Common initial symptoms include fatigue or muscle aches or signs of acute liver inflammation including fever, jaundice, and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Individuals with autoimmune hepatitis often have no initial symptoms and the disease is detected by abnormal liver function tests Anomalous presentation of MHC class II receptors on the surface of liver cells, possibly due to genetic predisposition or acute liver infection, causes a cell-mediated immune response against the body's own liver, resulting in autoimmune hepatitis. This abnormal immune response results in inflammation of the liver, which can lead to further symptoms and complications such as fatigue and cirrhosis. The disease may occur in any ethnic group and at any age, but is most often diagnosed in patients between age 40 and 50

Topic: Managing liver problems by traditional Ayurveda medicines
Abstract: The liver is precisely called the engine of the body. It plays a pivotal role in the manufacture, storage and regulation of essential compounds. We can survive only one or two days if it shuts down. If the liver fails, our body will fail too. Fortunately the liver can function even when up to 75% of it is diseased or removed. This is because it has amazing ability to create new liver tissues. that is it can regenerate itself, from healthy liver cells that still exist. Currently there is no artificial organ or device capable of emulating all the functions of the liver. it does hundreds of vital things to make sure everything runs smoothly. The liver is among the most complex and important organs in the human body. Every second the liver cells go through thousands of complex biochemical interactions that influence all the other organs in the body. Its complexity that makes the liver more to become problematic, when we are neglecting its importance to prevent and cure its problem at the early stage itself. There are more than 500 functions are doing by the liver daily to protect our body. Of among them detoxification and metabolism is the important functions. The liver supports every organ in the body and is vital for survival. Because of its strategic location and multidimensional functions, the liver is also prone to many diseases. The term liver diseases can apply to many disorders that cause the liver to function improperly or cease functioning. When the liver is unable to meet with over function, due to over expose of more and more toxins both internal and external that cause liver damage. That precipitates as general weakness to chronic liver diseases. Nowadays due to change of life style especially the food alcohol over medication infection etc the liver problems are increasing. Our traditional Healthcare especially healthy food is to protect the liver from over toxicity. So that their function may be maintained. but due to the new lifestyles our body is especially the liver is subjected to do overwork in detoxification and metabolism. When is beyond its control the liver will become damage. By some simple drugs and healthy food habits we can protect the liver, improve liver function and manage liver problems very easily. Ayurveda describe the function of liver and its problems clearly in (Yakruth roga). The treatment methods in modalities are described in Ayurveda for preventive as well as curative of liver problem. Here I am discussing my traditional Ayurveda management of liver problems with its clinical evidence, especially the fatty liver and hepatomegaly. One among them is the usage is turmeric powder (haridra) and also the effect of panchakola thakram. it a a traditional preparation using a compound drug panchakolam (5 herbs boiled in butter milk ) . Advising along with the herbs some restrictions in the food, (where is normal good food and plenty of water) and make the mind calm and quiet to stimulate the metabolism. Also sufficient sleep to normalise the homeostasis mechanism of the body .An evaluation of SGPT SGOT and USG scan is also doing for a evidence based clinical trial.

Topic: Ayurveda Perspective and Management of Intrahepatic cholestasis during Pregnancy
Abstract: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a commonest pregnancy-specific liver disorder characterized by pruritus in the third trimester, elevated serum bile acids and associated with increased risk of adverse fetal outcomes. In Ayurveda, ICP has a close manifestation with Garbha Peedan Janya Vyadhi, Pitta vitiation characterized by Kandu i.e. pruritus in 7th month of pregnancy. Pitta vitiation due to Garbha Peedan can be consider as cholestasis due to increasing amount of estrogen, progesterone in third trimester and mechanical pressure exerts by growing fetus on biliary drainage. Liver is consider as seat of Pitta, thus liver preparations with Pitta Shamaka and Pitta virechak properties potently break the etio-pathogenesis of ICP by channelize the flow of bile. Clinical Evidences in support of above analysis are also proved that liver preparation played a significant role in management of ICP.

Abstract: The liver is an important organ like the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Ayurveda gives prime importance to the liver because it is actively involved in vital functions, digestion, and nourishment of other organs. Turmeric has been used for over 10,000 years (Saraswati Civilization) in India. Turmeric is a mild digestive, aromatic, stimulant, and carminative. Turmeric decreases Kapha, balances tridosha, and is used to remove mucus in the throat, watery discharges like leucorrhea, and any pus in the eyes, ears, or wounds
and used for wound healing. Turmeric has been used for conditions such as liver obstruction and jaundice. Roasted turmeric has been used as an ingredient in a preparation used for dysentery. Boiled dried rhizome water decoctions have been taken orally in Ayurvedic medicine to reduce inflammation. Turmeric is also regarded as a Rasayana. Turmeric is an important major spice used around the world as a common medicine and in food preparation. The yellow coloring active compound in turmeric is curcumins (2-5%), which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. 1n 1984, Dr. Nagabhushan Moolky for the first time showed that turmeric (Curcumins) has antigenotoxic and cancer-preventing properties. Curcumins inhibit multi-stages of cancer formation, Initiation (DNA damage/mutation) promotion (enhancing the DNA damage), progression (cancer formation), and transformation (malignant tumors). In 1987, Dr. Nagabhushan has shown that ingestion of 1g/turmeric decreases urinary excretion of mutagens in cigarette and bidi smokers. These findings are also important in unhealthy liver-induced skin diseases, liver cancer, and drug metabolism. Earlier, shown that turmeric and curcumins inhibit aflatoxin B-induced mutagenicity/carcinogenicity, a natural food contaminant, that causes liver injury and cancer. Several preclinical and clinical scientific studies have shown the beneficial effects of turmeric/curcumins in liver health and diseases. It prevents oxidative damage, liver injury by xenobiotics, chemotherapeutic drugs, excessive alcohol consumption-induced liver injury, fatty liver, nonalcoholic fatty liver, hepatitis virus A, C - induced damage, cirrhosis & fibrosis, antivirus, and aflatoxin-indued liver cancer. COVID19 infection results in multiorgan failure, including hepatic damage. Hyper coagulation of blood, change in glucose metabolism, and liver fibrosis. Turmeric/curcumins are hepatoprotective, prevent hepatic damage, anti-thrombotic (Reduces clotting of blood), hypoglycemic, and prevents liver fibrosis. Recent clinical trials show that aspirin (75-100mg/day) reduces clotting and reduces death in COVID19 patients. Long-term use of aspirin causes ulcers and bleeding, whereas curcumins are safer to use. Dr. Nagabhushan for the first time (1997) has shown that curcumin improved ex-vivo hypothermic preservation of the liver, which may be useful for human tissue/solid organ transplantation. Because of immunosuppression, in liver transplant patients, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) becomes active and induces uncontrolled proliferation of B- cells. This leads to the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is detrimental to transplanted organs and patients. Curcumin inhibits EBV-induced, cyclosporine-A (CylA) promoted human B-cell proliferation and malignant transformation. Curcumin also inhibits CylA resistant activation of T lymphocyte activation and proliferation of human lymphocytes. Another important aspect of Curcumin is it reduces graft vs host disease.

Topic: Yoga for Liver Detox
Abstract: The liver’s job is to detox but if it becomes overloaded with toxins due to unhealthy eating, excess alcohol, prescription drugs, excess carbohydrates, and excess fructose could cause chronic damage to the liver, called liver toxicity. These toxins in the bloodstream can travel to the brain and temporarily (or sometimes permanently) affect brain function. Twisting yoga poses offer many benefits, including detoxing our bodies. With proper alignment, twist variations can also reduce back pain and improve digestion. Master Kamal shares his experiential knowledge in treating fatty liver and detoxification of liver with specific yoga postures, breathing, and liver detox mocktail techniques to drastically remove toxins from the liver, improve liver health, and which in turn will help remove toxins from your entire body.

Topic: Rasayana: Revitalizing the Liver
Abstract: Liver is the primary organ of detoxification, and plays a vital role in protecting the deeper tissues thereby maintaining health. Owing to its strategic location and multidimensional functions, the liver is prone to various diseases. Its exposure to exogeneous and endogenous toxins further account to cause the damage. The liver may function even when 75% of it is diseased or removed and this is due to its remarkable ability to heal and rejuvenate itself. For the liver to efficiently repair and enhance its functional capacity, it would require periodic supplementation. Ayurveda beautifully explains the concept of Rasayana, which checks various aspects of health, particularly: foiling the damage owing to its antioxidant and adaptogenic effect, and preventing the recurrence of the damage through cell proliferation and regeneration. This source shall emphasize on the Medicinal and lifestyle aspects of Rasayana Chikitsa, with respect to Liver and its health benefits.

Topic: Liver detoxification through Panchakarma
Abstract: As a culture, we seem to be increasingly liver-conscious—ever more aware of the importance of a healthy liver. This attention is well deserved. Without question, the liver is one of our most vital organs. Endlessly filtering and detoxifying the blood, the liver plays a significant role in digestion and metabolism. It also synthesizes protein, produces critical enzymes and hormones, breaks down and recycles tired blood cells, and regulates glycogen storage. Ayurveda describes the liver as a fiery, hot organ. Qualitatively speaking, this fact alone signals a close relationship between the liver, agni (the fire principle), pitta dosha, and the energy of transformation.

Topic: Holistic Approach to NFLD-Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Abstract: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the buildup of extra fat in liver cells that is not caused by alcohol. It is normal for the liver to contain some fat. However, if more than 5% – 10% percent of the liver's weight is fat, then it is called a fatty liver (steatosis). Ayurveda considers the liver as the main organ where pitta dosha, the fire element is located. Digestive fire (Pachakagni) manifests in seven forms called dhatwagnis. Food is converted into ahara rasa by pachakagni or digestive fire. Then ahara rasa is converted into seven body tissues. Since the liver is the main organ where the metabolism of fat happens, fat deposition in the liver impairs every metabolic activity. Diet and lifestyle changes along with appropriate herbs can be helpful in improving metabolic functions and liver health. During the presentation, we will discuss a chronic case of NAFLD that improved with holistic interventions.

Abstract: Intra hepatic cholestasis (ICP) is the second most common cause of jaundice in pregnancy. The stasis of bile with rise in conjugated bilirubin is probably due to excess circulating estrogen. Genetic, familial and abnormal progesterone metabolism have been observed. The manifestations of ICP usually appear in the last trimester. The onset is insidious and Pruritus is the primary clinical symptom of ICP. There may be weakness, nausea, slight jaundice or even vomiting are found with pruritus. There is rise in the levels of AST, ALT and serum alkaline phosphatase. There are increased risks of preterm labor, low birth weight babies, IUFD , meconium stained liquor and postpartum hemorrhage. The features of Intra hepatic cholestasis subside within two weeks postpartum. In ayurveda, treatment of Garbhini Kamala (Jaundice during pregnancy) is described in Kashyapa Samhita. The drugs who have Mridu pita virechaka (Mild laxative) and Raktashodhaka (Blood Purifiers) properties may help to reduce the symptoms of Intra hepatic cholestasis during last trimester.

Topic: Biliary colic and calculi & Ayurvedic interventions
Abstract: Gallstones are collections of solid material (predominantly crystals of cholesterol) in the gallbladder. The liver can secrete too much cholesterol, which is carried with bile to the gallbladder, where the excess cholesterol forms solid particles and accumulates. About 80% of people with gallstones do not have any symptoms for many years, if ever, particularly if the gallstones remain in the gallbladder. Gallstones may cause pain. Pain develops when the stones pass from the gallbladder into the cystic duct, common bile duct, or ampulla of Vater and block the duct. Then the gallbladder swells, causing pain called biliary colic. If gallstones cause disruptive, recurring episodes of pain, surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is only the option. Clinical experiences establish that Ayurvedic drugs along with dietary modification are an alternative to the surgical management of biliary calculi.
