Hepatitis

Recently I had a blood test show that I have had Hepatitis in the past. What natural therapies will help me to protect my health against it reoccuring?

Hepatitis is a viral infection which affects the health of the liver and immune system and can cause serious liver infection. Complimentary medicines may assist in reducing the effects of Hepatitis and help improve your overall health, however there will still be antibodies present in the circulation and a susceptibilty will still exist even though there are no apparent signs or symptoms occurring. Many people can experience good health and vitality even though they are carriers of viral antibodies.

The most beneficial support is to address the health of the liver and immune system so that the virus does not cause further complications. Improving liver function and its role of reducing inflammation and ensuring optimal detoxification will help to protect the liver from damage and inflammation and may also help to keep the Hepatitis suppressed. Optimal health (no alcohol, healthy diet and lifestyle) and support of the liver and immune systems as well as ensuring good antioxidant status is the best practice you can do.

Due to the seriousness of this condition it is important to consult with a health care professional who can give you the personal support and guidance required to manage your individual situation.
