Abstract:

Introduction: Liver disorders pose a major global public health challenge due to diverse aetiologies and limited conventional treatment options. Interest in homeopathy as an alternative approach for liver diseases is increasing. This systematic review evaluates existing evidence on the role of homeopathy in liver disorder management.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for studies published up to September 2023. Studies were selected using predefined criteria, assessed for quality, and synthesised to evaluate the efficacy and safety of homeopathic interventions.

Results: Ten eligible studies involving hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, and drug-induced liver injury were included. Some studies reported improvements in symptoms, liver function, and quality of life; however, the overall evidence quality was low and heterogeneous.

Conclusion: Homeopathy may offer potential benefits in liver disease management, but current evidence is limited. Well-designed, high-quality studies are required to confirm efficacy and safety. Integration into holistic care should be undertaken cautiously alongside conventional treatment.
