How does Ayurveda view liver health?
The liver governs metabolic transformation, closely linked to Pitta dosha. Excess heat-generating foods, alcohol, and irregular eating patterns aggravate Pitta and burden liver function over time.
What supports liver health through diet?
- Bitter greens and vegetables (bitter gourd, drumstick, leafy greens)
- Reduced fried, spicy and heavy foods
- Cooling herbs — coriander, fennel, mint
- Adequate hydration with warm water through the day
- Consistent meal timing, avoiding late heavy dinners
For ongoing liver conditions, this plan should always accompany — not replace — proper medical evaluation and our doctor's guidance.
