What is Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis is a condition where the liver becomes hard and scarred due to long-term damage.
- Think of the liver like a soft sponge. With cirrhosis, it turns stiff and scarred, making it harder for the liver to do its job.
- Common causes: long-term alcohol use, fatty liver disease (NAFLD/NASH), chronic hepatitis B or C, and long-term liver infections.
The liver can regenerate slowly, and with proper care and homeopathy, symptoms can be managed and quality of life improved.
Causes
- Alcohol – long-term heavy drinking
- Fatty liver / NASH – obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol
- Chronic hepatitis B or C – long-term viral infection
- Autoimmune liver disease
- Drug-induced liver injury (long-term medications)
Symptoms
- Tiredness and weakness
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea or vomiting
- Yellow eyes and skin (jaundice)
- Swelling of legs and abdomen (fluid accumulation – edema/ascites)
- Easy bruising or bleeding
- Weight loss and muscle weakness
Confusion or memory problems in advanced stages (due to toxins in blood)
Homeopathy & Healing
Homeopathy cannot replace the liver but can:
- Support liver function and regeneration
- Reduce symptoms like weakness, digestion problems, swelling, and jaundice
- Improve overall energy, immunity, and quality of life
Common Homeopathic Remedies (based on patient symptoms):
- Carduus Marianus – liver weakness, enlargement, jaundice
- Chelidonium – right-sided liver pain, jaundice, digestive issues
- Phosphorus – fatigue, bleeding tendency, liver weakness
- Nux Vomica – digestive complaints, indigestion, liver issues due to alcohol/medicines

With proper remedies, patients feel more energetic, digestion improves, swelling reduces, and jaundice lessens.

- Eat balanced, light, liver-friendly diet
- Avoid oily, fried, processed foods
- Drink plenty of water
- Maintain healthy weight
- Regular check-ups for liver function
- Avoid unnecessary medicines that stress the liver

In simple words:
Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver from long-term damage. With homeopathy, lifestyle changes, and careful monitoring, patients can reduce symptoms, support liver health, and improve quality of life.
