Home Remedies for Cirrhosis of the Liver.
Cirrhosis of the liver is characterized by a significant loss of cells, so that the liver gradually
contracts in size and becomes hard and leathery.
In the early stages of the disease, there may be nothing more than frequent attacks of
indigestion, with occasional nausea and vomiting. There may also be some abdominal pain and
loss of weight In the advanced stage, the patient develops a low grade fever. He has a foul
breath, a jaundiced skin and distended veins in the abdomen. Reddish hairlike markings,
resembling small spiders, may appear on the face, neck, arms, and trunk. The abdomen becomes
bloated and swollen, the mind gets clouded, and there may be considerable bleeding from the
stomach.
Excessive use of alcohol over a long period is the most potent cause of cirrhosis of the liver in
adults. The disease can progress to the final stage of hepatic failure if the person does not
abstain from alcohol. Poor nutrition can be another causative factor in the development of
cirrhosis and a chronic alcoholic usually suffers from severe malnutrition. Cirrhosis may also result
from a highly toxic condition of the system in general.
