Description

Prasan Shankar and co-authors present three cases of liver cirrhosis, at the stage where the liver fails to keep up, treated with Ayurvedic and integrative care. Cirrhosis is late-stage scarring; standard care can treat causes, but long-term reversal is still an open question. In Ayurvedic terms, liver disease falls under the heads Kamala and Udara. The three patients were treated at an Ayurveda hospital with herbal drugs and outside therapies.

Care included Panchakarma, a detox and renewal protocol, plus a diet with salt and fluid limits. Patients were checked at intervals with standard tools. All three felt better and lived better. Abdominal pain, ankle swelling, and fatigue all eased. Liver blood tests improved by a clear margin. Three cases cannot prove a cure. But it sets out a full traditional regimen in a form others can judge and repeat.
