Description
Cirrhosis is a serious, often fatal, liver disease that occurs when liver tissue is continuously damaged. As healthy tissue is replaced with scar tissue, the liver loses its ability to perform its functions, which include detoxifying the blood, storing vitamins and minerals, manufacturing blood clotting substances, and producing bile. A primary result of the condition is that the body ecomes poisoned with blood toxins that the liver would Usually eliminate. These toxins can have adverse effects on the entire body, including the rain.
Cirrhosis is most often caused by alcoholism after years of filtering alcohol out of the blood, liver becomes irreversibly damaged. Other causes of cirrhosis are hepatitis, hemochromatosis (a hereditary disease that causes the body to store excess iron), and Wilson's disease (a hereditary disease that causes liver storage of copper).
Signs and Symptoms
Cirrhosis often reveals no symptoms until the condition is quite advanced. At this stage, symptoms include:
Nausea and vomiting
Appetite and weight loss
Fatigue
Sleep disturbance
Jaundice (yellow coloring of the skin and eyes)
Darkened urine
Bruising
Red, spiderlike blood vessels just beneath the skin
lack of interest in sex
Itching
Swollen legs, feet, or abdomen
Muscle wasting
Conventional Medical Treatment
If you suspect you have cirrhosis, see your doctor immediately. The disease is diagnosed through observation of symptoms, a blood test, or a liver biopsy. A biopsy, in which a sample of liver tissue is examined microscopically, is the most accurate means of diagnosis.
Since the liver is a resilient organ, the first step to treatment is to discontinue the habits that caused the damage in the first place. If cirrhosis is detected at an early stage and no further damage occurs, the liver should be able to continue to function, albeit in limited capacity. If the cirrhosis is in an advanced stage, your physician treats individual symptoms, such as water-retention and bloating, and strongly recommends a salt-restricted diet and mild diuretics. Liver transplant is the only option for those with severe cirrhosis. Liver transplants are very serious, risky procedures, so they are typically restricted to young or middle aged people who are in otherwise good health.
Cirrhosis of the Liver treatment using Papaya Seeds
The black seeds of papaya have been found beneficial in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver, caused by alcoholism and malnutrition. A tablespoon of juice obtained by grinding the seeds, mixed with ten drops of fresh lime juice, should be given once or twice daily for about a month as a medicine for this disease.
Cirrhosis of the Liver treatment using Trailing Eclipta
The herb trailing eclipta, botanically known as eclipta alba, has proved invaluable in cirrhosis of the liver. The juice of all parts of this plant should be taken in doses of one teaspoon, mixed with one teaspoon of honey, three times daily.
