I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. In the present day there are various treatment options available for a patient with active hepatitis C. But since these treatments have potential side effects, it should be taken only by those who would potentially respond to it. This would require getting a Hepatits C viral load and Genotyping done to decide on the course of treatment. Even in India lots of patients do take herbal medications, but barring some self limiting conditions (hepatitis A, E and such), it is rarely of any benefit in hepatitis B and C and only leads to a delay in the patient seeking active medical intervention. Regarding burning in your abdomen, the most common reason for this kind of pain is acid peptic disease. I would suggest taking a course of antacid tablets and see if you get any relief from it.
Hope this helped and do not hesitate to write back with any more questions.
