The liver is the body's chemical factory, performing over 500 functions. When we overload it with alcohol, sugar, or toxins, it starts storing fat. This is Fatty Liver. If ignored, the liver cells die and are replaced by scars (Cirrhosis).
The good news? The liver is a forgiving organ. If you stop the damage and provide the right raw materials, it can heal itself. At Lucknow Naturopathy Center, we specialize in Liver Regeneration protocols.
Is Your Liver Struggling?
Liver issues are often silent, but look for these signs:
Early Signs
- Chronic fatigue and weakness.
- Loss of appetite.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Pain in the upper right abdomen.
Advanced Signs
- Yellowing of eyes/skin (Jaundice).
- Swelling in legs and abdomen (Ascites).
- Easy bruising and bleeding.
- Itchy skin.
The Enemies of the Liver
Alcohol
Alcohol is a direct toxin. The liver stops all other functions to metabolize alcohol, leading to fat accumulation and cell death.
Fructose & Sugar
High Fructose Corn Syrup (in soft drinks) and refined sugar are the leading causes of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFLD). They are metabolized exactly like alcohol.
Medications
Long-term use of painkillers (Paracetamol), steroids, and antibiotics puts immense strain on the liver's detox pathways.
Obesity
Visceral fat releases fatty acids directly into the liver, overwhelming its ability to process them.
Our Liver Regeneration Protocol
We give the liver a vacation so it can repair itself:
1. Mud Therapy
Cooling the engine.
- Abdominal Mud Pack: The liver generates high heat when inflamed. A cold mud pack absorbs this heat, reduces inflammation, and improves local circulation.
2. Liver Detox Diet
Fuel for repair.
- Sugarcane Juice: The best natural tonic for liver recovery (rich in glycolic acid).
- Cruciferous Veggies: Broccoli/Cabbage contain sulfur compounds that boost Phase 2 liver detox.
- Strict No: Alcohol, Oil, and Fried Food for at least 3 months.
3. Hydrotherapy
Flushing the toxins.
- Enema: Prevents re-absorption of toxins from the colon, lightening the liver's load.
- Alternate Hip Bath: Improves circulation to the portal vein system.
4. Yoga for Liver
Squeezing the sponge.
- Ardha Matsyendrasana: The spinal twist squeezes the liver, flushing out old blood and allowing fresh blood to enter upon release.
- Dhanurasana (Bow Pose): Massages the liver against the floor.
