Liver disease is the tenth most common cause of death in India as per the World Health Organization and may affect every one in five Indians. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a multifactorial disease. That's whyits treatment is difficult with using a single pharmacological drug. Various formulations prepared from herbal and minerals are known for their multifaceted implications and thus can form an effective treatment schedule against NASH. Plant drugs formulations have gained importance and popularity because of their safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness. Liver disorders do not have specific treatment modalities in modern medicine even though they are the cause for death and secondary complications.

Antioxidants, anti-diabetic, and antihyperlipidemic properties in herbal extracts have been shown to ameliorate symptoms of NASH. In this review article, an attempt has been made to compile the management of Yakriddalyudar (liver disorders) with Medicinal plants in alleviating NASH and may be useful to the clinicians working the field of Ayurveda.
