In Ayurveda, hepatomegaly is associated with imbalances in the Pitta Dosha, which governs metabolism and digestion, and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the liver. Chronic inflammation, poor digestion, and unhealthy lifestyle choices can contribute to liver enlargement. Ayurvedic treatments focus on detoxifying the liver, reducing inflammation, and restoring balance for long-term relief.
