Doctor recommends 3 best daily habits that can help reverse fatty liver and also detox the body
Most people don't give their liver much thought—until something goes wrong. But truth be told, it's one of the hardest-working organs we've got. It keeps our digestion ticking, helps us process what we eat and drink, and clears out all sorts of unwanted rubbish. In Ayurvedic medicine, though, the liver holds an even more special place. It's tied into the Rakta vaha srotas—a kind of inner channel linked to the flow of blood and bile. And when this system gets thrown off, the effects don't stay in one place. They affect the heart, the lungs, stomach and every organ. According to Dr Somit Kumar, M.D (Ayu), PhD, Chief Scientific Officer & Director of Research, AVP Research Foundation , one has to bring about micro changes in life to see improvement. He lists out food and lifestyle choices that one should make for a healthy and happy liver. Ayurveda, liver health and the role of doshas In this tradition, liver health is connected to what's known as Pitta dosha, a type of energy that governs heat and digestion. Tip that balance (say, by drinking too much, eating a lot of salty or sour foods), and the liver starts to feel the strain. It can lead to inflammation, damage to the cells, and early signs of ageing. Ayurveda also talks about Agni that is the digestive fire. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Comfortably: 60m2 prefabricated bungalow for the elderly in Lengkongsari Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo It's what turns food into Rasa dhatu, the essential nourishment that feeds every part of the body. And deep within the liver, there are five subtle fires (Bhuta agnis) each doing its bit to detoxify, digest, and renew. Meal timings are important and so is the meal Keeping the liver in good nick isn't about fads or fancy treatments. According to Ayurveda, it starts with routine eating meals at regular times, steering clear of odd food pairings (Viruddha Ahara), and including all six flavours (Shadrasa) in your diet. Hydration matters too, not just with water but also with herbal brews that help sweep toxins out of the system. As for food itself? It's all about ease of digestion. Think of simple grains such as rice, oats, wheat, millet, barley etc. Lentils and green gram are easier on the stomach compared to heavier beans like kidney beans, which can sit around a bit longer. Fruits such as apple, fig, papaya, and pomegranate are believed to give the liver a helping hand. But citrus and mango? Best not to overdo it. On the veg front, carrots, beets are solid choices. Cabbage and chilli, although not bad but should probably be kept in check. When it comes to dairy, ghee and buttermilk get the green signal, while curd and paneer are better taken sparingly. Role of herbs and spices Ayurveda also leans heavily on herbs and spices. Turmeric is the star of the show, thanks to curcumin—it's like a natural anti-inflammatory. Garlic, ginger, cumin, fennel, black pepper—they're all praised for how they help digestion, reduce stress on the liver, and make other nutrients easier to absorb. Then there are the big-hitter herbs. Guduchi is often used to boost immunity and clear toxins. Bhumi Amla is another one—it's thought to help rejuvenate liver cells. Licorice isn't just for sweets; it's used for reducing inflammation and supporting the gut-liver connection. There's also Andrographis, Katuki, and Swertia—lesser-known but well-regarded in Ayurvedic circles for their protective qualities. The complete picture But food and herbs are only one part of the whole picture. Daily movement whether it's a walk, yoga, or simply stretching helps keep everything at check. Stress is hazardous and can be a lethal mess with the liver. Mindfulness, meditation, and a bit of peace and quiet go a long way. Sleep matters more than most people realise and the liver does much of its repair work when a person is properly rested and happens to experience deep sleep daily. Skimp on sleep, and you're likely to feel it. At the end of the day, Ayurveda isn't about quick fixes. It's about living in rhythm, eating well, moving often, managing stress, and giving your body what it needs to heal and thrive. Look after your liver, and it'll look after you.

Dry scrubbing before bath: How doing this 3 times a week can activate the lymphatic system and reduce the risk of serious diseases
Dry scrubbing, an age-old practice gaining popularity, involves using a coarse brush to exfoliate skin and stimulate the lymphatic system. This simple routine, done before bathing, enhances circulation, promotes toxin removal, and boosts immunity. Proper technique, using a natural-bristle brush and gentle strokes towards the heart, is crucial for maximizing benefits and avoiding skin irritation. Dry scrubbing has been around for centuries. Also known as brushing, this ancient practice has grabbed the attention of youngsters, thanks to social media. This simple wellness practice that can be done at home is now hailed as a powerful way to stimulate the lymphatic system. Dry brushing thrice a week before bathing can not only exfoliate but also improve circulation and lymphatic flow, and thereby potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Wondering how? Let's take a look. What is dry scrubbing Dry scrubbing is a centuries-old practice popular in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. This practice is known as garshana in Ayurveda. Dry brushing is done using a coarse brush, for instance, a natural-bristle brush. One can gently exfoliate the skin using this brush. Some people also use raw silk or wool gloves instead of a brush to scrub. This practice is done a few minutes before taking a bath, on dry skin. Benefits of dry scrubbing Improves lymphatic drainage Dry scrubbing has many potential benefits. This practice which only take a couple of minutes can stimulate the lymphatic system. It could really boost the removal of toxins and waste from the body, which results in good lymphatic flow . When the lymphatic system is active, it also improves the immune system. Though more research is required, better lymph flow is linked to improved immunity, which reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Exfoliation You no longer have to drain your bank account to buy exfoliating products for your skin. This ancient practice can help exfoliate rough, dry skin. The mechanical action of scrubbing will unclog the pores and exfoliate the skin. Along with exfoliation, the circulation motion of the dry brushing will help in better circulation. When paired with lymphatic drainage, it could help to get plump and glowing skin. This method may also reduce the appearance of cellulite by improving cell turnover. How to dry scrub effectively While dry scrubbing has many benefits, it is important to do it the right way. The most important part of this technique is to pick the right brush. You should look for a brush with natural bristles. Though synthetic ones are readily available in stores, they may be too harsh for the skin. Such brushes could do more harm than good. Now the technique. You can start dry brushing from the feet. Go for long, gentle or circular strokes toward the heart. Move upward to the legs, torso, and arms. Brush in the direction of the lymphatic flow. Do not scrub on sensitive areas like the face or broken skin. Three sessions a week might be adequate to bring a visible difference in your health. Supreme Court Pushes Central Govt to Finalise FOPL: What It Means & Why It Matters? | Explained Cleaning the brush is a crucial step in this process. After every use, rinse your brush with a gentle soap and water, and then dry it in the sun. A dirty brush can harbour disease-causing microbes. Dry scrubbing has many benefits, but its not for everyone. People with sensitive skin, or have skin conditions such as eczema, or open wounds should avoid it. Always consult a healthcare provider before adding this practice to your routine, especially if you have any underlying diseases.
