ABSTRACT

Yakrit Vikar (liver disorders) is a significant concern in Ayurvedic medicine, encompassing conditions like fatty liver, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and alcohol-induced liver dysfunction, predominantly associated with Pitta dosha imbalance and manifesting as Pandu, Kamala, Yakritvriddhi, and Yakrit Vidradhi. Classical Ayurvedic texts emphasize the interconnectedness of organ systems, offering a holistic diagnostic and therapeutic approach. This case study evaluates Ayurvedic management in a 33-year-old male who visited Jeena Sikho Lifecare Limited Clinic, Bathinda, Punjab, India, presenting with weakness, constipation, and a past history of piles. He was diagnosed with Yakrit Vikar and treated with Ayurvedic interventions, alongside dietary and lifestyle modifications. Post-treatment, the patient experienced significant symptomatic relief, with improvements in general health and bowel movements. Laboratory reports showed a reduction in total bilirubin from 1.25 mg/dL to 0.85 mg/dL and indirect bilirubin from 0.78 mg/dL to 0.47 mg/dL, indicating enhanced liver function. This case highlights the potential of Ayurvedic therapies to correct doshic imbalances, restore Agni, and support detoxification in Yakrit Vikar, though broader clinical trials are essential for standardization and wider acceptance within integrative healthcare models.
