What is Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a serious form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) characterized by a buildup of fat in the liver, liver inflammation, and liver cell damage.NASH is a severe form of fatty liver disease.
- In simple fatty liver, fat is deposited in the liver.
- In NASH, along with fat, there is inflammation (sujan) and damage (chot) of liver cells.
If ignored, it can slowly lead to liver scarring (fibrosis) and even cirrhosis.
But the good news – if caught early, it can be managed and reversed.
Causes
Overweight / obesity (especially belly fat)
Type 2 Diabetes
- High cholesterol / triglycerides
- Poor lifestyle (junk food, sedentary habits)
- Genetic tendency (family history)
- Some medicines (like steroids, certain antibiotics)
Symptoms
Most people feel nothing in early stages.
But with time:
- Persistent tiredness / weakness
- Discomfort or dull pain in right upper side of abdomen
- Indigestion, bloating, heaviness after meals
- Unexplained weight gain or sometimes weight loss
- In advanced stages – yellow eyes/skin (jaundice), swelling in legs, or fluid in belly
Homeopathy & Healing
Homeopathy works gently by reducing liver inflammation, improving digestion, correcting metabolism, and preventing fibrosis (scarring).
It supports natural regeneration of the liver.
Common Homeopathic Remedies (selected on symptoms):
- Chelidonium – liver pain, jaundice tendency, better from hot drinks
- Lycopodium – fatty liver with gas, bloating, right-sided pain, weak digestion
- Phosphorus – liver weakness, bleeding tendency, tiredness
- Carduus Marianus – specific liver remedy for fatty and inflamed liver
- Nux Vomica – for those with acidity, irregular food habits, and digestive weakness
With regular treatment, NASH can be controlled and even reversed, preventing it from progressing to cirrhosis.
Precautions & Lifestyle
- Maintain healthy weight (gradual weight loss is best)
- Balanced diet – more green veggies, whole grains, fruits, and less fried/junk food
- Avoid sugary drinks, excess carbs, and processed foods
- Walk or exercise daily (minimum 30 minutes)
- Limit alcohol (even small amounts worsen the liver)
- Do not self-medicate with painkillers or unnecessary drugs
- Regular liver function test + ultrasound check-ups
In simple words:
NASH means fat + inflammation in the liver. It is a warning sign that the liver needs care. With homeopathy, healthy diet, and exercise, patients can heal the liver and stop further damage.
