AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON ANTIFIBROTIC

Fibrosis of an organ is often a progressive leading to organ failure (i.e lungs, liver, kidney). While vulneraries usually help restore collagen, antifibrotic herbs often clear collagen. Aka fibrinolytic.

Fibrin is a tough, scar like tissue deposited when tissue because damaged or distended. This process of tissue become fibrous, inelastic, and tough is called fibrosis.

Fibrosis affects the blood vessels, lungs, liver, and kidney. It not only reduces function of these organs, but also reduces elasticity of blood vessels and lung tissue.

Fibrosis of the lungs increases pulmonary hypertension and damages air sacs (alveoli), eventually causes hypoxia. Many antifibrotic herbs are also vessel and airway tonics / protectants.

Fibrin is implicated in many clots. Because of its brittleness, fibrinous masses can crack and break off, leading to a dangerous floating clot. Fibrinlytic agents can dissolve these clots, having a thrombolytic action.
