Fatty Liver Disease is a condition in which fat is deposited on the liver cells. Continuous deposition of fat on the liver leads to complications and damage to the liver. In Ayurveda, Fatty Liver Disease can be correlated to Yakrutodara. Yakrutodara is discussed under Udara Rogas. Yakrutodara shows symptoms like hepatomegaly (Yakrut vridhi). The liver in this condition becomes very hard just like a tortoise shell. The size of the liver varies from time to time due to Yakrut Vridhi's progression. Doshas involved in Fatty liver disease or Yakrutodara are Kapha dominant Tridosha and Rasa, Rakta and Meda are Dushyas. The Doshas are the energetic forces of nature that are present in the human body and are three in number i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
