Critical Analysis of Yakrit Vikara in Ayurveda in Relation to Non Alcohol Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Author(s) B. Lekhya reddy, Geetha kanchan, Ch.Rama Devi
Country India
Abstract Liver disorders account for about approximately 2 million deaths worldwide, 1 million due to complications of cirrhosis. Approximately two third of all liver related death occur in men. Particularly the incidence of NAFLD among adults is 32% and is higher in males (40%) than in females (26%)1. In recent days NAFLD is named as Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver disease (MASLD). Since this disease occurs due to metabolic dysfunction that includes predisposing factors such as obesity, diabetes, genetics etc cannot be traced easily and can be detected by chance only through the blood test or USG scan or liver biopsy2 . Ayurveda addressed liver as yakrit and its illnesses as yakrit vikaras. Eventhough the liver disorders are not explained directly in the ayurveda but the pathophysiology involved in pleeha vikaras (spleen disorders) can be applicable to yakrit vikaras3. Hence there is scope of correlating the liver disorders with yakrit vikaras said in classical texts that include yakritodara, kamala, kumbhakamala, halimaka, lagharaka etc for better understanding and can be easily managed at their very initial stages only. The study has been taken to bridge the knowledge gap between ayurveda and contemporary science with sufficient justification and better understanding in diagnosis of NAFLD and keep a check to further progression and ultimately to decline death rate.
