Turmeric
Curcuma longa, a plant native to India and South Asia, is harvested for its roots to produce turmeric, a popular spice. Turmeric has been studied for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Hepatic steatosis, which causes liver pain, may be prevented by consuming turmeric, which is rich in the bioactive chemical curcumin and can protect liver cells sufficiently. Also, it can counteract leptin, the hormone responsible for causing cirrhosis. Furthermore, it has been shown that hepatitis B and C patients can be aided by turmeric consumption.
In addition to restoring liver function, preventing fat accumulation, and bolstering the liver’s ability to detoxify, turmeric is also beneficial to bile. High-dose turmeric supplements have been linked to reducing liver pain in some illnesses. Moreover, these supplements were shown to lower aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in patients with fatty liver. These enzymes help synthesize amino acids; however, high concentrations indicate liver damage. Reductions in serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels were also seen in research studies on turmeric.
Patients can consume turmeric and lemon juice on a cup of water on an empty stomach every morning. They can also take turmeric supplements, starting with a modest amount or depending on the physician’s prescription.
