Viral infections like Hepatitis A, B, C, and bacterial infections

Toxins and heavy alcohol use, drug-induced liver injury (certain painkillers, herbal remedies in high doses)

Autoimmune hepatitis in which body attacks its own liver cells

Home remedies

Diet care and drink plenty of water and oral rehydration to flush toxins

Avoid fried, spicy, very oily foods, junk food, and non-veg

Avoid alcohol

Sujok Therapy 

Press three-four times daily for 10 to 15 minutes on the highlighted area (see figure). Apply green colour, followed by three to four dried pees seeds on the same spot and keep them overnight. If you feel any discomfort, remove the seeds. Even in mild cases of liver infection, it is advisable to see a health care professional.
