Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) isindependent risk factor for metabolic syndrome and is associated with various metabolic risk factors including insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, cardio-vascular disease, and most significantly obesity. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can remain harmless but, in some people, it may progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is the progressive stage ofNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease.i When NAFLD progress to NASH it may eventually lead to complications such as cirrhosis of liver, liver cancer, liverfailure.

**NEED OF STUDY:**
The treatment presently available are not satisfactory that can restrict hepaticsteatosis and to limit liver cell injury and the occurrence of inflammation and fibrosis. Currently it is a great challenge for us to develop a drug that is effective in Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease patients exhibiting, obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and oxidative stress.Ultrasonography for detection of fatty liver has played a breakthrough role for patients with or without biochemical abnormalities. Therefore, this study was planned to assess the role of Parikara Yoga in Yakrita Roga with special reference to Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD].
