Ayurvedic Concept for Liver and Liver Cirrhosis
In Ayurveda, the liver is called as Yakrit. Pitta is directly linked to the liver. If pitta aggravated it leads to liver disorders. Excessive production of bile or a disturbance in the bile flow causes aggravation of pitta, which affects the enzyme activities or Agni which is responsible for digestion, absorption, and metabolism.
