Fatty liver is becoming more common, even in younger people. Many people come to clinics worried after their ultrasound shows “fatty liver grade 1 or grade 2.” They ask, “What should I do now?” Some have no symptoms at all. Some feel tired, bloated, or experience pain on the right side of the abdomen. In this blog, let’s understand fatty liver, why it happens, and how homeopathy can help

What is Fatty Liver?

Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, means too much fat gets stored in the liver cells. A little fat in the liver is normal. But if more than 5–10% of the liver’s weight is fat, it’s called fatty liver.

There are two main types:

  • NAFLD (Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease): Fatty liver in people who do not drink alcohol.
  • AFLD (Alcoholic fatty liver disease): Caused by excess alcohol intake.

What are the causes of Fatty Liver?

  • Alcohol consumption: Excessive drinking is a common cause of fatty liver.
  • Obesity: Being overweight can lead to fat accumulation in the liver.
  • Diabetes: People with type 2 diabetes often have fatty liver.
  • High cholesterol: Elevated cholesterol levels increase the risk.
  • Genetic factors: Family history can also play a role in developing this condition.

What are the Symptoms of Fatty Liver?

Most people have no clear symptoms. That’s why it is often discovered accidentally during a routine ultrasound.

But some people may feel:

  • Tiredness or low energy
  • Heaviness or discomfort in the right side of the abdomen
  • Poor digestion
  • Bloating
  • Mild pain in the upper abdomen
  • Weight gain or trouble losing weight

Can Homeopathy Help in Fatty Liver?

Yes, homeopathy offers individualized and safe treatment for fatty liver. It does not just treat the liver — it treats the root cause in each person.

Here’s how homeopathy helps:

  • Improves liver metabolism
  • Supports fat digestion and removal
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Improves energy and appetite
  • Addresses underlying issues like obesity, stress, or hormonal imbalance
  • Works without side effects

Conventional Treatment for Fatty Liver

The primary approach to managing fatty liver involves:

  • Weight loss: Regular exercise and a healthy diet.
  • Avoiding alcohol: Reducing or stopping alcohol intake is crucial.
  • Controlling diabetes and cholesterol: Proper medications and lifestyle changes.

Fatty Liver and Homeopathy

Homeopathy offers natural remedies that target the root cause of fatty liver. These remedies work by boosting the body’s ability to heal and reduce liver fat naturally.
