Yakrut is the Ayurvedic name for liver. It is involved in several physiological processes in the body, including metabolic activities, secretory, retention, purification, and elimination of foreign and endogenous materials. As a result, any impairment or degradation of its functionality leads to a wide range of liver problems. The principal hepatic illnesses that cause a high fatality rate include hepatotoxicity, jaundice, and hepatitis. Liver problems are still a growing health problem around the world. The treatment of liver problems using traditional or synthetic medications is ineffective and can have major negative impact.Ayurvedic herbal medicines, on the other hand, have a variety of possible benefits in liver diseases, despite the absence of a proven hepatoprotective medication in modern medicine. A variety of hepatoprotective herbs have been identified. In this review paper, we have attempted to collect and consolidate information on hepatoprotective herbs that will be useful in the Indian medical system.
