Abstract
Background: Liver cirrhosis is an advanced stage of abnormal fibrogenesis of tissues that causes liver injuries. Though cirrhosis can be managed by etiological parameters, its long-term reversal is still a question. Ayurveda system of medicine diagnoses liver disease under "Kamala" and "Udara" with promising outcomes of treatment. This case series discusses three cases of liver cirrhosis where internal Ayurvedic medications and external therapies including "Panchakarma" (a treatment approach of detoxifying and rejuvenating) resulted in effective management of the disease. Case Presentation: Three cases of decompensated liver cirrhosis were treated at an Ayurveda hospital. Relevant examinations and investigations were done, and patients were monitored at regular intervals. Patients were treated with Ayurvedic therapies and were monitored for changes using standardized tools of assessment. Conclusion: In all three patients, there was an improvement in quality of life and a reduction in symptoms such as abdominal pain, transpyloric diameter, pedal oedema, and fatigue, as well as a significant reduction in liver function test parameters. Decompensated liver cirrhosis can be managed with an Ayurvedic treatment regimen that includes Ayurvedic medications, Panchakarma, along with a proper diet regimen with salt and fluid restrictions. This case series concludes that while cirrhosis is not completely reversible, fibrosis could be reversed. The support of modern medicine for monitoring and emergency care remains paramount. Furthermore, proper documentation of all the observations can help in assessing the outcomes of Ayurveda therapies and aid in developing integrative protocols for the management of liver cirrhosis in the future.
