Cirrhosis of the liver is characterized by a significant loss
of cells, so that the liver gradually contracts in size and
becomes hard and leathery.
In the early stages of the disease, there may be nothing
more than frequent attacks of indigestion, with occasional
nausea and vomiting. There may also be some abdominal
pain and loss of weight In the advanced stage, the
patient develops a low grade fever. He has a foul breath,
a jaundiced skin and distended veins in the abdomen.
Reddish hairlike markings, resembling small spiders, may
appear on the face, neck, arms, and trunk. The abdomen
becomes bloated and swollen, the mind gets clouded,and
there may be considerable bleeding from the stomach.
Excessive use of alcohol over a long period is the most
potent cause of cirrhosis of the liver in adults.

The disease can progress to the final stage of hepatic failure if the person does not abstain from alcohol. Poor
nutrition can be another causative factor in the development of cirrhosis and a chronic alcoholic usually suffers
from severe malnutrition. Cirrhosis may also result from a highly toxic condition of the system in general.
Papaya Seeds:
The black seeds of papaya have been found beneficial in the treatment of cirrhosis of the liver, caused by
alcoholism and malnutrition. A tablespoon of juice obtained by grinding the seeds, mixed with ten drops of fresh
lime juice, should be given once or twice daily for about a month as a medicine for this disease.
Vegetable Juices:
The juice of carrots, in combination with spinach juice, has been found beneficial in the treatment of cirrhosis of
the liver. Spinach juice 200 ml, should be mixed with 300 ml of carrot juice to prepare 500 ml or half a litre of
combined juices.
