The ancient healers were sure that the liver is an organ that serves as a storehouse of the soul, a place where love, strength, and mind arise. Today's view is much more prosaic, although one cannot but admit that the mental activity of a person, his vitality, and the ability to love depend on the health of this organ.
The thing is that the human liver is the organ in which over twenty million chemical reactions occur per minute. This gland is responsible for the health of the whole organism, supporting its blood circulation, resistance to infections, digestion. It nourishes the spinal cord, is responsible for the heat balance of the body. Diseases of this gland are very dangerous.
Violation of the functions of the guardian of health immediately worsens the general well-being of a person. There is lethargy, drowsiness, fatigue. There is bitterness in the tongue, the taste of food is changing. With breathing or sudden movements, pain in the hypochondrium is felt, and with palpation, a swelling is felt. All these manifestations indicate that inflammation of the liver has begun . Symptoms may indicate an acute or chronic course of the disease. Acute occurs due to infections, overeating, alcohol, drugs, or excessive amounts of medication. In addition to fatigue, bitterness in the mouth, it is characterized by swelling of the spleen, dark urine. When coughing, sharp breaths, exhalations, movements, stitching, very sharp pain appears. Often, diseases are accompanied by vomiting, nausea, dehydration, and the appearance of jaundice. Often the temperature rises. If acute inflammation is not treated, it can result in death.
An untreated or untreated disease can cause chronic inflammation of the liver. Symptoms of it are less noticeable, they often go away without pain. Most often, a chronic disease is noticed either with a full examination, or with a sharp deterioration in the condition.
How to relieve liver inflammation?
First of all, it is recommended to lead a healthy lifestyle and take tests at least once a year.
For any impaired liver function, proper nutrition is of paramount importance. For infectious hepatitis or other acute liver diseases, mashed unsalted foods are recommended. It should be taken in tiny portions 5-7 times a day. Naturally, all spices, spices, fried, spicy foods are unacceptable: they only increase liver inflammation. Treatment of the acute period, depending on the condition of the patient, can be carried out at home or in the hospital. It boils down to the fact that first doctors try to eliminate the source of the disease, and then prescribe hepatoprotectors that protect the liver from inflammation.
If the disease (for example, hepatitis) is caused by a virus, antiviral drugs are prescribed. If inflammation accompanies another disease, then first try to cure it. Despite the fact that hepatitis is life-threatening, its treatment is relatively quick.
Heavier and longer, chronic inflammation of the liver is not always successfully treated. Symptoms of cirrhosis are manifested in constant nausea, vomiting, skin itching, general weakness. Jaundice, enlarged liver and spleen, bloating and digestive disorders can last for years. Cirrhosis occurs most often against the background of alcoholism, tuberculosis, syphilis and other serious diseases that cause inflammation of the liver. Symptoms of cirrhosis often indicate either an abnormal, unhealthy lifestyle, or an illness not detected on time.
Despite the fact that only doctors should treat chronic and acute inflammation, as an adjuvant you can drink a glass of birch juice, juice from radish and beetroot, or two cups of infusion of strawberry leaves. However, before using them, the advice of a doctor will not be superfluous.
