The right upper part of the abdominal cavity (right side) is the location of the liver. It is the largest, weighing at least one and a half kilograms, digestive gland of our body. It is with the state of this organ that the state of the entire human body is almost always connected. It must be said that many, but not all diseases associated with the liver contribute to its increase. It happens that the size of the liver is normal, or, conversely, smaller than normal, but it is sick. But if the liver is enlarged, it is in absolutely any situation a sign of a clear illness.
Sometimes a person does not suspect that he has an enlarged liver. The causes may be in some blood clots, acute hepatitis or fatty infiltration. If hepatomegaly becomes more severe, acute pain on palpation and constant discomfort in the right side are possible. With these diseases, the liver is soft. If hardening is felt in the side and the liver is enlarged, the causes should be sought in a disease such as cirrhosis. If groping unevenness in the form of nodes is felt, it may be a tumor. There are other symptoms that often occur if the liver is enlarged. This is pain under the right rib, fatigue and weakness, an unpleasant bitter taste in the mouth, heartburn, jaundice and nausea are possible.
If the liver is enlarged, the causes can be sought in one, and sometimes several, diseases at once. Perhaps this is the effect of certain drugs, toxins, it can also be some problems with blood circulation and heart function. The main reason at all times is still the abuse of alcohol, improper, junk food, a sedentary life and viral infections. The list is quite extensive. Therefore, if the liver is enlarged, the doctor should always find out the reasons by conducting a series of necessary tests.
Often the fault of such a serious disease as hepatitis is enlarged liver. What to do in this case? Be patient and proceed with appropriate treatment. It is quite long and only the attending physician prescribes the necessary drugs. Traditional medicine is, of course, only an auxiliary tool, but with its help it is possible to significantly reduce the treatment time. You will need motherwort, immortelle, St. John's wort and mint. Take these herbs in equal proportions, fill with hot water and let stand for an hour. We take two tablespoons per one liter. The infusion has a strong cleansing and calming effect, so it is not recommended to drink more than a hundred grams per day. Divide this dose into several meals and drink before meals.
If the liver is enlarged due to dehydration or intoxication , what should I do? Again, first eliminate the cause. If the cause is alcohol, you will first have to quit this addiction, and then begin to cleanse the liver. The liver is designed so that it cleans itself. But in these cases, she needs our help. We will need oats, namely oats, not flakes. Rinse it well and put in a clean five-liter pot. Add the leaves of lingonberry and birch buds there. Pour with clean water (four liters) and insist a day. In another container, not more than a liter, make a decoction of rose hips (a glass) and knotweed (two spoons). It is necessary to boil it on a small fire for fifteen minutes, insist for at least two hours. Strain and mix both infusions together. Start the application with fifty grams and gradually, in ten days, reach one hundred and fifty grams. Ten days later you will not recognize your liver. She will become clean and healthy. And do not forget to remove all hard-to-digest carbohydrates and fats from your diet during treatment. The best solution would be boiled or cooked in a double boiler food.
