IMPORTANCE OF PHYTOTHERAPY IN CHRONIC NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES OF THE LIVER

Abstract

Currently, in the countries of Central Asia, as in most countries, 15-20% of the adult population suffers from acute and chronic liver pathology. Today, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common non-communicable liver disease, accounting for approximately 70% of all chronic liver diseases. The complexity and versatility of the pathogenetic mechanisms of lipid metabolism disorders in the body requires effective pharmacological correction aimed at normalizing the composition, structure and ratio of various classes of lipoproteins. In this regard, the most harmless and therapeutically effective herbal remedies of natural origin, metabolic products of plant and animal cells, which have low toxicity and a wide spectrum of action, are of great importance. The advantage of phytotherapy is that it allows the use of plants for a long time without significant side effects, due to their compatibility with many drugs and with each other. KEYWORDS: phytotherapy, herbal remedies, lipid metabolism.
