Herbal Treatment For Fatty Liver Disease

Liver, a largest internal organ of the body, is present on the upper right side of the abdomen. The removal of toxins from the body is the main function of this organ. Several health problems are there which are associated with liver. One of them is- fatty liver disease.

WHAT IS FATTY LIVER DISEASE?

Fatty liver disease, also known as Steatosis, occurs due to the buildup of fats in the largest internal organ. Generally, the presence of fats in the liver is regarded as normal, but once the fat composition reaches approx. 5 to 10 percent of the liver, then it is regarded as harmful fat.

WHAT IS MEANT BY FATTY LIVER?

When there is an excess of fats in the body, our liver may absorb these fats from our intestines as well as from other parts of the body and results in fatty liver. And the liver loses its ability to change this excess fat into the eliminated form and in turn causes fatty liver disease and several other complications as well.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE?

Generally, there are two types of this disease which are explained below-

First one is an Alcoholic liver disease. As the name suggests, this disorder is related to excessive alcohol consumption. But the disorder can occur due to hepatitis A, obesity and excess iron in the body as well.

Another type of this disorder is Non-alcoholic liver disease. The exact cause of this disease is not known. But there are some risk factors. A person having family history of any liver disorder may get this disease. An overweight person may also get this disorder. Medications can be the reason for the same.
