The liver is a vital multitasker organ of the body. Every single organ system of your body depends upon your liver to remove the toxins. These toxins can include environmental impurities, a harmful additive in food items, and allopathy medicine. Liver infection is a wake-up call for you, which will push you into immediate danger.

“According to Ayurveda, metabolism and digestion in the body are carried by different types of digestive fires (enzymes), which are termed as ‘Agni’ and ‘Pitta’ in Ayurveda.

• Our liver is a pitta dosha organ, and it produces digestive fires.
• As per Ayurveda, digestive enzymes or juices produced by the liver are known as digestive fires.
• This digestive fire helps in the healthy digestion of food.
• So in short, the liver is a fiery organ, and that is why anything, which is fiery or hot in nature is not good for the liver.
• Alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, hot spicy food, chemicals in pre-packaged foods or medicines, and environmental pollutants are not good for the liver as they are also fiery.

Types of liver disease:

1. Jaundice

3. Hepatitis
4. Liver cyst
5. Cirrhosis Liver
6. Liver cancer
