3. Pitta Dosha
There are 5 types of pitta dosha namely, Pachaka pitta, Ranjaka pitta,
Alochaka pitta, Sadhaka pitta and Bhrajaka pitta.
Amongst them pachaka pitta and ranjaka pitta play a vital role in the
proper functioning of liver.
Pachaka Pitta:
The juices, enzymes and various acids involved in the process of
digestion contribute to pachaka pitta.
Ranjaka Pitta:
The complex process of production of blood cells , balancing body
chemistry and all those activities which are responsible for giving
pigmentation, be it to the skin or the red colour to the blood, are all
carried out by ranjaka pitta.

5. Pitta Balancing Diet
• Eat food that is cool, dry, light, sweet and bitter
• As there is imbalance of agni, diet should be an easy to digest one.
• Drink adequate quantity of water.
• Improve fibre intake
• Beans, green vegetables, sweet fruits, and vegetables
like cauliflower, carrots and broccoli are good.
• Fresh papaya or carrot juice is a very effective
home remedy to protect liver. Most fresh fruits are
good except for the acid forming fruits.
• Bitter herbs are the best to pacify pitta. Bitter herbs
cause a reflexive secretion of gastric juices and tone the
muscles of digestive tract. They also support detoxification by helping the liver to
process incoming nutrients and filter impurities from circulation. They also have
anti-bacterial and pitta reducing properties.

7. Ayurvedic Aspect of Liver Diseases
• When there is vitiation of paachaka pitta, the ranjaka pitta
situated in liver becomes deranged and does not get its
nourishment. This invariably results in liver diseases. In
other words, all liver diseases occur due to imbalance of
pachaka pitta.
• Now apart from vitiation of pitta , there is vitiation of vata
as well particularly vyana vata. This results in the blockage
(srotorodha) of blood carrying channels and as a result
pitta does not reach ‘grahani’ (duodenum). It, in turn, gets
circulated all over the body via rasa , rakta (blood) dhatus.
• Vitiation of ranjaka pitta thus can cause hepatitis, cirrhosis,
jaundice, anaemia, or chronic fatigue syndrome.

Certain herbs support liver functions and can pacify the imbalanced pitta and
reduce liver congestion. Some of them increase bile flow, others support
enzymatic detox process and nourish and stabilize liver.
1. Curcumin (BUY HERE) speeds up liver detox process. Curcumin prevents
alcohol and other toxins from being converted into compounds that may
