It explains how the air we breathe, the food we eat, the air that we breathe, freshness of nature, fragrance of flowers, beauty of nature, all affect our lives.
Ayurveda is Indian holistic science of dealing with ailments of human body. It is based on the universal law of balancing five elements which are fire, air, earth, ether and water. These five elements make the physical body. Health problems such as low back pain affect the strength and flexibility of spine causing pain, when one of the above stated goes out of balance.
As per Ayurveda, treatment of all sorts of liver ailments concentrates on Pitta dosha and not on liver. Imbalances of Agni and pitta give birth to different types of liver ailments. Ojus is affected too. The Pachaka Pitta is based on liver; therefore all the ailments of liver are treated simultaneously with the treatment of Pachaka Pitta.
