AYURVEDA AND LIVER HEALTH

According to Ayurveda, your liver has an association with pitta dosha, raktha dhathu or blood and agni or digestive fire. Your health of your liver can influence all three and the imbalance in the three can also influence the health of this organ. Pitta dosha can lead to an enlarged liver and shrunken liver, jaundice, fatty liver and liver cirrhosis. But since liver metabolises the food that you consume, the right foods can keep this organ healthy. Bitter tasting herbs, fruits and veggies like apples, carrots, beetroot and leafy greens are good too. Here are a few Ayurvedic herbs and foods that can boost liver health.
