Understanding

Ayurveda views hepatitis as a result of imbalanced "Pitta" dosha, often stemming from poor digestion, toxin accumulation, and lifestyle choices. The AyurvedGuru approach to treating hepatitis involves addressing doshic imbalances, promoting liver health, and fostering overall well-being.

Causes

Hepatitis A (HAV):

This virus is typically transmitted through contaminated food and water or close contact with an infected person. It is more common in areas with poor sanitation.

Hepatitis B (HBV):

HBV is primarily transmitted through contact with infected blood, sexual contact, or from an infected mother to her newborn during childbirth. It can also be transmitted through sharing needles or other drug injection equipment.

Hepatitis C (HCV):

HCV is primarily spread through contact with infected blood, often through sharing needles or other drug injection equipment. It can also be transmitted through sexual contact and from an infected mother to her newborn.

Hepatitis D (HDV):

HDV is a defective virus that can only infect individuals who are already infected with HBV. It is transmitted through contact with infected blood or sexual contact.

Hepatitis E (HEV):

HEV is typically transmitted through contaminated water and food, and it is more common in regions with poor sanitation. It can also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy.
