The Liver is a Pitta or Fiery organ, the origin of many Pitta related health problems. Poor liver function can be related to most complaints accompanied with inflamation and infection. Excess bile production or congestion usually indicates high Pitta. According to ayurveda the liver is the seat of fire in the body and easily heats up causing various inflammatory diseases. The subtle enzymes "bhuta agnis" are located in the liver which transform digested food into the five elements needed to build the body. The liver is also the site of most Pitta related negative emotions such as anger, irritability, jealousy, over ambition and positive emotions such as courage, confidence, enthusiasm and will power. 

 

The Liver is intricately linked to dietary intake and how effectively and efficiently the body uses, stores or deactivates dietary derived substances absorbed from the intestine. Most of the nutrients absorbed from the intestine are transported directly to the liver for storage, repacking or combining with other compounds. Waste products and other potentially toxic substances produced in the body or absorbed from the intestine are detoxified in the liver. The liver is rightly called the engine of the body. The liver plays a pivotal role in the manufacture, storage and regulation of essential compounds. The liver plays an important role in the regulation of glycogen levels. Minerals, proteins, sugars and fats are stored , manufactured or regulated by this organ and damage to the liver could result in a host of serious health problems.
