Abstract: The situation is made worse by the absence of detailed treatment plans for liver disease,
a dangerous illness. The current liver disease treatments are insufficient, and their long-term usage
is prevented by systemic toxicity. Since the toxicity factor seems to be on the lower end of the
spectrum, herbal remedies have been utilized for ages to treat liver ailments. This article focuses
on providing insight into liver diseases along with the herbal components that are used nowadays
for efficiently treating them. The given herbal components glycyrrhizin, quercetin, curcumin, silymarin,
and Phyllantus niruri have proven to be efficacious in treating liver diseases with no or
bare minimum side effects. The liver diseases discussed in this review article include alcoholic liver
disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis C, hepatitis B, hemochromatosis as well and
auto-immune hepatitis. After summarization, it is concluded that these herbal components are
proven to be effective in the treatment of liver diseases, and various research as well as studies
have been conducted for the same.
