ABSTRACT

The liver is the largest organ and gland in the human body and it is responsible for both metabolism and detoxification. Acharya Charak and Sushruta mention that the Yakrit (liver) and Pleeha (spleen) are the two organs that originated from Shonita (blood) in Ayurveda. Both Yakrit (liver) and Pleeha (spleen) are roots of the Shonitvaha Srotsa. According to Ayurveda Ranjaka pitta, which is found in the liver and spleen, is responsible for Rakta dhatu's (blood) production. As a result, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly should be treated with Rakt Dhatu in mind. To treat hepatomegaly and splenomegaly, 15 of the herbal contents in Manadya Gudika and 5 of the herbal contents in Shobhanjanadi Kwath are used. Giloya, Pippali Chitrak and Shobhanjan, are the main hepatoprotective, carminative, and blood purification drugs used in this Shastriya Aushadh Yog.
