Ayurveda's Holistic Support for Liver Healt
At Jayakrishna Pharmacy Ayurveda Hospital, we understand the liver's crucial role in overall well-being. Ayurveda views the liver as a primary site for Pitta dosha and 'Ranjaka Pitta', responsible for blood formation and detoxification.
While modern medicine focuses on viral management, Ayurvedic treatments concentrate on strengthening liver function, balancing Pitta, improving digestion (Agni), and supporting natural detoxification through personalized diet, herbal remedies , and lifestyle adjustments.
