Liver Homeopathic Solutions

Liver is an important part of the human body. It is actually the part responsible for the synthesis of fuel components for the use of the other organs. Its function includes control carbohydrates, lipids or fatty acid metabolism and bile secretions. Health experts warn that damages done in the liver can easily affect the rest of the body leading to a more serious problem.

Liver problems occur once the body irregularly dysfunctions. Common complaints include pain on the right side. For instance, wrong dietary intake over a prolonged period puts inordinate strain on liver function. The liver also regulates fatty acid synthesis, and contributes to steroid production. Alcoholic cirrhosis and drug-induced damage are not uncommon ailments nowadays. Trauma causing rupture/hematoma can be helped with Arnica in conjunction with orthodox treatment.

Of course, certain allopathic treatments are available for liver ailments especially on disorders involving “indigestion” ­stomach “wind”, pain/discomfort under the right ribs and inability to digest fatty foods, loose stools and pale stools. I have had so many cases of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) that have cleared up finally when the treatment was directed at the liver and not just the bowel.

According to one survivor of liver cirrhosis, “homeopathy helped me a lot in recovering. It is not hard to find homeopathic doctor in Jakarta, Indonesia and we immediately went to one when our clinical doctor was not able to treat my ailment”.

Orthodox medicine is very useful in giving an assessment of more advanced disease. Even here homeopathic prescribing can achieve stunning, unexpected results.

According to the Peterson Group, non-profit organization which is also a source of information on alternative, complementary and integrative medicines, the following are some of the most common homeopathic remedies for liver issues:

1. For Indigestion on the right side

• Chelidonium 6c – one three times a day for up to three weeks. Stop treatment if bowels loosen. Stools should be dark and pass easily – pale stools show bile obstruction.

• Lycopodium 30c -being a right-sided remedy is almost specific for liver and kidney clearance. There is sometimes a raised diastolic (lower level) blood pressure and patients are chilly, tired, windy, constipated and bloated after meals. They often keep going for a long time and become chronic sufferers before doing anything about themselves.

2. For Pain and Discomfort

• Nux Vomica - urge to move bowels to ease the pain.

• Sepia – the patient may be grey and worn out and emotionally drained
