Yogic and Ayurvedic Methods to Manage Fatty Liver

Table of Contents






Introduction

Namaskar! There is a common liver disorder known as fatty liver, which occurs when there is an excess buildup of fat on the liver. Unfortunately, fatty liver can often go unnoticed in its early stages, but if left untreated, it can lead to more serious problems. In this blog, we will explore some yogic and ayurvedic methods to naturally manage fatty liver condition.

Yogic Asanas for Liver Health

Let’s begin by discussing three of the best yogic asanas for maintaining a healthy liver:

1. Pimas

The Pimas pose involves sitting with your legs stretched out in front and bending forward to hold your toes. This asana helps stimulate the liver and improves blood circulation to this vital organ.

2. Apanasana

In the Apanasana pose, you lie on your back and fold one knee to your chest while extending the other leg. This asana aids digestion and can be particularly beneficial for those with fatty liver.

3. Ardha Matsyendrasana

The Ardha Matsyendrasana, or seated twist, helps massage the liver and pancreas, promoting detoxification and improving liver function.

Foods for Fatty Liver

Now, let’s discuss the types of food that are beneficial for managing fatty liver:

Bitter Gourd or Karela

Bitter gourd is considered the best food for fatty liver. Its bitterness stimulates liver detoxifying enzymes and aids in the breakdown of fats. You can consume bitter gourd as a vegetable or in the form of juice every day. Although it may not be everybody’s favorite due to its bitter taste, you can gradually get used to it with regular consumption. Bitter gourd should be especially consumed during the rainy season.

In addition to bitter gourd, you may also incorporate other bitter-tasting foods such as garlic, walnuts, broccoli, and green tea into your diet to promote a healthy liver.

Foods to Avoid

According to Ayurveda, it is recommended to avoid certain foods that can worsen fatty liver condition. These include:

  • Alcohol

  • Spicy Foods

  • Oily Foods

  • Red Meat

  • Too Much Salt and Sugar, which are commonly found in packeted, refined, and processed foods

Additional Guidelines

Here are some more guidelines to help manage fatty liver:

1. Punarnava

Consider drinking Punarnava tea. Punarnava is a herb known for its liver-protecting properties. It aids in detoxification, reduces inflammation, and supports liver regeneration.

2. Hydration

Drink enough water throughout the day as it helps remove toxins from the body and supports overall liver function.

3. Portion Control

Avoid overeating and opt for smaller, more frequent meals. This helps prevent unnecessary stress on the liver, as stress can worsen the condition.

4. Shavasana

Lie down in Shavasana (Corpse Pose) for some time every day. This relaxation pose can help calm your mind and reduce stress, promoting overall good health.

5. Guided Meditation

Listen to guided meditation sessions from the Nisand app. This app can help you relax, reduce stress, and improve your overall well-being.

Conclusion

Fatty liver disorder is a common condition that can be managed naturally through yogic and ayurvedic practices. By incorporating these holistic approaches into your daily routine, you can maintain a healthy liver and overall well-being. Remember to prioritize foods that support liver health, avoid foods that worsen the condition, and follow the additional guidelines provided. With consistent effort, you can effectively manage your fatty liver condition and enjoy better health.
