Fatty Liver Men Homeopathy — Dr. Vandna Kanani

The most important constitutional remedy in fatty liver men homeopathy — Lycopodium has the most well-established constitutional affinity for the right hepatic lobe of any remedy in the entire homeopathic materia medica. The Lycopodium constitutional liver picture has right-sided predominance in every expression — right hypochondriac fullness and pain, right shoulder involvement, right-sided kidney stones alongside the fatty liver. The constitutional bloating and flatulence between 4 and 8 pm is the most diagnostically specific Lycopodium constitutional feature — this timing is so reliable that it is considered a constitutional keynote of Lycopodium hepatic pathology. The Lycopodium man with fatty liver is constitutionally anxious, constitutionally underperforms in public while capable at home, has the characteristic Lycopodium performance gap and craves sweets constitutionally. The combination of right-sided hepatic pathology, 4-8pm bloating, constitutional anxiety and the characteristic Lycopodium performance picture identifies this as the primary constitutional fatty liver men homeopathy prescription.

For NAFLD with a strong constitutional connection between the hepatic pathology and damp weather — the Natrum sulphuricum man whose liver symptoms worsen markedly in wet, humid weather and in damp living environments. Constitutional tendency to yellowish or greenish tinge in secretions — the biliary constitutional picture of Natrum sulphuricum. Morning diarrhoea or loose stool. Constitutional melancholy and seriousness. A Sycotic constitutional background with the characteristic Natrum sulphuricum constitutional heaviness. The combination of NAFLD with marked damp-weather aggravation, constitutional biliary excess (greenish secretions), morning loose stool and the Sycotic constitutional Natrum sulphuricum picture identifies this remedy in fatty liver men homeopathy.

The primary specific hepatic-biliary constitutional remedy in fatty liver men homeopathy — Chelidonium has an affinity for the right hepatic lobe and the biliary system that is among the most specific in the entire materia medica. The Chelidonium constitutional NAFLD picture has the characteristic boring, stitching pain under the right scapula — a pain that radiates from the right hepatic region upward and backward to the right shoulder blade with a peculiarly boring character. Constitutional yellowish tinge to the skin and whites of the eyes — not frank jaundice but the constitutional Chelidonium pale-yellow tinge of hepatic sluggishness. Bitter taste in the mouth. Clay-coloured stool from constitutional biliary insufficiency. The combination of right scapular boring pain, yellowish skin tinge, bitter taste and constitutional biliary sluggishness identifies Chelidonium in fatty liver men homeopathy.

For NAFLD in the constitutionally irritable, hypersensitive, over-stimulated man whose fatty liver is the constitutional consequence of a sedentary, overindulgent lifestyle combined with a constitutionally hypersensitive nervous system. The Nux vomica constitutional NAFLD man works too hard mentally, exercises too little physically, eats and drinks constitutionally too much and is constitutionally irritable in the morning — particularly before and during defaecation. He is constitutionally chilly and hypersensitive to all stimuli — noise, light, smell, criticism. The constitutional Nux vomica picture in fatty liver homeopathy is the man whose NAFLD is clearly correlated with his sedentary, over-stimulated, constitutionally hypersensitive lifestyle rather than with a deeper miasmatic constitutional excess.

For NAFLD in the constitutionally overweight, chilly, metabolically sluggish Calcarea carbonica man whose fatty liver is one expression of a broader constitutional metabolic insufficiency — the same constitutional Psoric-Sycotic terrain that produces the obesity, the insulin resistance and the hepatic fat accumulation simultaneously. This man’s liver accumulates fat not because he eats excessively but because his constitutional metabolic efficiency is insufficient to clear the normal dietary fat load. Head perspiration during sleep. Slow metabolism that gains weight constitutionally. Constitutional health anxiety. The combination of constitutional overweight, metabolic sluggishness, NAFLD and the characteristic Calcarea carbonica constitutional picture identifies this remedy in fatty liver men homeopathy.

A specific hepatic constitutional remedy in fatty liver men homeopathy with primary affinity for the left hepatic lobe and the portal circulation — complementary to the Chelidonium and Lycopodium right-lobe predominant remedies. Carduus marianus (milk thistle) in homeopathic potency works constitutionally at the hepatic parenchymal level — addressing the constitutional portal congestion and hepatocellular fat accumulation that underlies NAFLD. Associated with varicose veins and portal hypertension tendency — the constitutional Sycotic venous excess extending from the legs to the portal venous system. Constitutional left hypochondriac fullness. When NAFLD is associated with portal congestion tendency, left-sided hepatic predominance and the constitutional Sycotic venous excess picture, Carduus marianus is the constitutional fatty liver men homeopathy prescription for this pattern.
