Fatty Liver & Liver Disease - Unani Treatment in Amroha
Fatty liver - extra fat stored in the liver - is now one of the most common liver problems in India, often found by chance on an ultrasound. It is linked to weight gain, diabetes and alcohol. Most people have no symptoms, but over years it can lead to liver inflammation and scarring.
At Hashmi Dawakhana, Amroha, our hakims treat fatty liver and digestive weakness linked to the liver (amraz-e-jigar) with Unani medicine, diet and weight guidance, based on your liver function tests and ultrasound. Jaundice, liver swelling or signs of advanced disease need a liver specialist, and we will tell you when.
Common signs and symptoms
- Often no symptoms - found on ultrasound or blood tests
- Tiredness and low energy
- Heaviness or discomfort in the upper right side of the abdomen
- Poor appetite, bloating or indigestion
- Yellow eyes or skin, dark urine (jaundice) - needs prompt testing
Possible causes
- Excess weight, especially around the waist
- Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and high triglycerides
- Alcohol
- Diet high in sugar, sweet drinks, fried food and refined flour
- Some medicines, hepatitis B or C, and unregulated supplements
How Unani medicine approaches it
In Unani medicine the liver (jigar) is central to digestion and the production of the humours. Unani care for fatty liver uses individually prescribed formulations to support liver function and digestion, together with diet changes, regular activity and gradual weight loss - the most effective treatment for fatty liver.
Not every herbal product is safe for the liver: unregulated "liver detox" powders and mixtures are a known cause of liver injury. We prescribe individually, review your liver tests over time, and refer you to a liver specialist for jaundice, hepatitis or signs of cirrhosis.

- Diet plan to cut sugar, sweet drinks, fried food and alcohol
