CoInfections pose a big threat to health, and it is essential to treat them with methods that keep you healthy without side effects. Ayurveda is the right method. Hepatitis (A, B, C, D and E) is one such virus that leaves a long-lasting negative impact on your health.

On July 28, World Hepatitis Day spreads awareness and marks the birth anniversary of Dr Baruch Blumberg, who discovered the Hepatitis B virus and developed its vaccine. Let us explore hepatitis, its effects, Ayurvedic tips to avoid it, ways to treat it if infected, and Patanjali products useful in its treatment.

Talking Hepatitis

In simple terms, it is liver inflammation due to issues such as viral infections, toxins, autoimmune illnesses, and an overdose of alcohol. It stops the liver from performing its functions, such as removing toxins and processing nutrients. Its types include:

Hepatitis A: You are affected through contaminated water or food, or coming in contact with someone affected. This severe but brief infection is cured on its own, but can be treated with a widely accessible vaccine.

Hepatitis B: The chronic type spreads through contact with infected fluids, like infected needles, and causes liver damage. You can take a preventive vaccine.

Hepatitis C: Passed through blood, one is infected with this type via infected needles or hazardous medical methods. It can become chronic, and it has no vaccine. But it can be cured with antiviral treatments.

Hepatitis D: This rare type affects those who are already suffering from hepatitis B and worsens the infection even more.

Hepatitis E: You get infected with this acute type via dirty water in unhygienic places. It can be dangerous for pregnant women.

The symptoms include jaundice, digestive troubles such as nausea and stomach ache, inexplicable fatigue, muscle or joint pain, dark urine, flu-like signs and mysterious weight loss. Ayurveda connects hepatitis closely with Kamala or jaundice, or Yakrit Shotha, or liver irritation. It mainly happens due to the worsening of Pitta Dosha. You can treat it with early screening, awareness, testing and treating those at risk, and nursing to stop more damage.

Ayurveda has holistic answers to stop hepatitis early. Follow its advice on avoiding or treating this disease along with Patanjali products to manage liver health.
