Homeopathic Medicine for Fatty Liver

What is fatty liver disease?

Fatty liver is a condition where there is an abnormal accumulation of lipids in the liver cells (steatosis) due to disturbances in fat metabolism. It can also be caused by other diseases that affect fat metabolism. The main reason for this condition is excessive alcohol intake, but it can be a non-alcoholic condition too. Fatty liver is often associated with inflammation and enlargement of the liver and hence the condition is also referred to as steatohepatitis. If left untreated, it may lead to cirrhosis and hepatic failure. A fatty liver is a reversible condition and requires some lifestyle changes. Besides this, homeopathy for the fatty liver can also help you treat the condition easily.
