Cirrhosis ✪✪✪✪✪
The anti-sclerosis, or anti-fibrotic effect of hazel can be particularly beneficial for the liver, as it helps prevent or slow the development of hepatic fibrosis. Fibrosis is a process where excessive connective tissue forms in the liver in response to chronic damage, such as those caused by hepatitis, alcoholism, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This connective tissue can eventually progress to cirrhosis, where scar tissue replaces functional liver cells, impairing liver function.
