According to WHO, in recent years the number of chronic liver disease, including NAFLD has recorded steady growth. NAFLD is an added risk factor for extra hepatic disease such as CVD, CKD, colorectal cancer, endocrine disorders and osteoporosis. Ayurveda also vividly describes liver disease. NAFLD can be interpreted as a <em>Santarpanotha Vikara</em> (disease) caused by <em>Kaphamedo Dushti</em>, getting <em>Sthanasamsraya</em> in <em>Yakrut</em> (liver), the <em>Raktavahasrotomoola</em> and <em>Pittasthana</em>.</p> <p>A 27 years old male patient with complaints of dull abdominal pain, discomfort and poor appetite for 6 wks came with an USG report which showed elevated liver echogenicity (Grade-I Fatty Liver). He was advised <em>Chitrakadi</em> <em>Vati</em> 500 mg twice daily after food with <em>Anupan Takra</em> and <em>Patol Katurohinyadi Kashayam</em> 10 ml twice a day for 2-months. <em>Chitrakadi</em> Vati is&nbsp;&nbsp; a formulation mentioned in <em>Charak</em> Samhita, <em>Grahanirog</em> <em>Chikitsa</em> having <em>Kaphmedohara, Deepana, Pachana</em> properties. <em>Patol Katurohinyadi Kashayam</em> mentioned in <em>Shodhanadi Ganasangrah</em> <em>adhyaya</em> in <em>Ashtang Hridayam</em> has been reported by many practitioners to be effective in treatment of liver disorders as it is <em>Kaphmedohar Raktaprasadak</em>, <em>Yakritagami</em> and <em>Deepan</em>. At the end of the study, the fatty infiltration of liver was reverted to normal. The combination of <em>Chitrakadi Vati</em> and <em>Patol Katurohinyadi Kashayam was </em>effective in NAFLD.</p&gt;}, number={02}, journal={Ayurlog: National Journal of Research in Ayurved Science}, author={Singh, Pushpa}, year={2022}, month={Apr.} }
