The liver is a vital organ that plays a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. In Ayurveda, liver diseases are often associated with imbalances in the Pitta Dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body. The following is an overview of common liver diseases and their Ayurvedic treatment approaches:
