Central  Council  for  Research  in  Ayurvedic  Sciences  (CCRAS),  an  autonomous  organization under Ministry of Ayush, has taken up three Clinical Studies on Liver diseases. The Council's Institute viz. Central Ayurveda Research Institute, Bhubaneswar, Odisha has a core mandate for Clinical Research on Hepatobiliary disorders.

Central  Council  for  Research  in  Homoeopathy  (CCRH),  an  autonomous  organization  under Ministry  of  Ayush,  though  not  conducted  any  study  in  treatment  of  Hepatitis-B,  however, success stories with Homoeopathic treatment in the form of Case Reports are being published.
