Intermediate/Advanced Ayurvedic Approach to the Liver offers a detailed, practitioner-level exploration of liver function and pathology through the lens of classical Ayurveda. This course examines the liver as a central organ of Pitta regulation, blood formation, detoxification, and metabolic stability, while integrating modern anatomical insight with traditional Ayurvedic theory.
Students explore Sanskrit terminology, organ energetics, and doṣhic mechanisms that explain why the liver is especially prone to heat, stagnation, inflammation, and congestion. The course highlights the liver’s unique blood supply, its role in transforming rasa into rakta, and its relationship to digestion, bile flow, and systemic circulation.
Ayurvedic interpretations of liver stagnation, portal congestion, fatty liver patterns, inflammatory conditions, and chronic overload are discussed alongside traditional herbal, dietary, and therapeutic principles used to support liver resilience. Emphasis is placed on understanding disease progression, constitutional tendencies, and strategic intervention rather than symptom suppression.
This class is ideal for intermediate and advanced Ayurvedic students, herbalists, and integrative practitioners seeking deeper mastery of liver-centered assessment and care.

Intermediate/Advanced Ayurvedic Approach to the Liver provides an in-depth examination of liver physiology and pathology using classical Ayurvedic frameworks supported by modern clinical understanding. The course presents the liver as a highly active, Pitta-dominant organ responsible for blood formation, metabolic regulation, detoxification, and systemic balance.
Students explore how the liver transforms rasa into rakta through rañjaka pitta, why its dual blood supply predisposes it to stagnation, and how doṣhic forces—particularly Pitta overflow, Vata-driven displacement, and Kapha congestion—shape liver disease. The course explains how liver imbalance expresses through the skin, eyes, digestion, blood quality, emotional state, and inflammatory patterns.
The class also examines mechanisms behind common and advanced liver concerns, including stagnation, fatty liver patterns, bile obstruction, portal congestion, inflammatory overload, and long-term tissue damage. Students gain insight into how improper digestion, metabolic stress, chronic heat, and lifestyle factors gradually burden liver function.
Traditional Ayurvedic therapeutic principles are discussed, including the strategic use of cooling, bile-moving, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying herbs; classical formulations; dietary considerations; and supportive lifestyle approaches. The emphasis remains on constitutional assessment, pacing, and long-term liver resilience rather than short-term cleansing.
By the end of the course, students gain a clear, structured understanding of how Ayurveda approaches liver health across all stages of imbalance.
