Treatment of an enlarged liver depends on the cause.

* Alcohol abuse. If the enlarged liver is alcohol-related, it's essential to stop drinking. Although liver damage from cirrhosis is irreversible, treatment can often help prevent further damage and reduce complications.
* Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Weight loss and exercise are often an essential part of treatment. It's also important to avoid alcohol and keep your cholesterol under control. If you have diabetes, manage your blood sugar carefully.
* Hepatitis. There's no specific treatment for hepatitis A. Medication may be recommended for hepatitis B or C. If your liver has been severely damaged, a liver transplant may be an option.
* Heart failure. Various medications are used to treat heart failure. Some take the burden of extra fluid off the liver.
* Liver cancer. Depending on the type and stage of the disease and various other factors, liver cancer may be treated with surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy.
* Blood disorders. With hemochromatosis, regularly drawing blood can reduce the amount of iron the liver has to process. Treatment for leukemia is complex. Therapies may include chemotherapy and radiation.

Milk Thistle is an herb that helps speed the regeneration of new liver cells. Go purchase some at your local health food store.

Without knowing what caused the enlargement it would be impossible to say. Even then, you'd want to check with a doctor to make sure.

A chinese herb called Bupleurum. Works faster than milk thistle. Milk thistle takes at least a year till you see much difference. Taking both wouldn't hurt.
