Introduction: The liver, our body’s largest internal organ, performs over 500 vital functions, including detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient storage. In today’s world, factors like poor diet, stress, and environmental toxins can overwhelm this crucial organ, leading to various liver diseases. At Sunayur, Dr. Raghav Sharma offers comprehensive Ayurvedic care to support liver health and address liver disorders holistically.
What is it / How it works: In Ayurveda, the liver is closely associated with Pitta Dosha and is considered the seat of “Rakta Dhatu” (blood tissue) and “Ranjaka Pitta” (a sub-type of Pitta responsible for blood formation and coloration). Liver disorders often stem from an aggravation of Pitta and accumulation of toxins. Dr. Raghav Sharma’s Ayurvedic treatment focuses on pacifying Pitta, detoxifying the liver, and regenerating liver cells. This involves using potent hepatoprotective herbs like Bhumyamalaki, Kutki, Kalmegh, and Punarnava, known for their ability to support liver function, reduce inflammation, and promote bile flow. Dietary adjustments to reduce heat and inflammation, along with specific lifestyle recommendations, are integral to the healing process.
