Yes, Ayurveda has specific approaches for **autoimmune
liver diseases**, including **autoimmune hepatitis leading to cirrhosis**. While cirrhosis cannot be reversed, **Ayurveda focuses on balancing the immune response, supporting liver function, and slowing down disease progression.** This is especially important in **autoimmune** causes where the body attacks its own liver tissue.

## ð¿ Ayurveda's View on Autoimmune Liver Cirrhosis
In Ayurvedic terms, autoimmune liver disease is often seen as:
* **Agni dushti** (digestive fire imbalance)
* **PittaâRakta dushti** (inflammation and blood vitiation)
* **Ama accumulation** (toxins causing immune confusion)
* In some cases, it is classified under **Yakrit Vikara**, or **Kamala variants** if jaundice is present
The treatment focuses on:
* **Deepana-Pachana** (improving metabolism, removing Ama)
* **Rakta shodhana** (cleansing blood)
* **Pitta shamana** (calming inflammation)
* **Rasayana** (immune modulating, rejuvenating)
