Symptoms of excess Pitta in the liver include: migraines and other headaches, hot flashes, red face, red, burning eyes, bloody noses, acne, irritability, anger, (short fuse, hot temper), inflammation, and heartburn.

Temple Breakouts: The Liver–Gallbladder Connection

  • Meaning: Breakouts here often reflect Pitta aggravation in the liver/gallbladder, which regulate blood purification, bile, and heat.

  • Common triggers: Spicy or fried foods, alcohol, caffeine, general intensity of life, and stress.

  • Ayurvedic insight: Excess Pitta overheats Rakta dhatu (blood tissue), leading to redness and pimples. Cooling foods, stress relief, and herbs like neem, turmeric, and manjistha are often recommended to restore clarity—but these should always be tailored to your unique needs under professional guidance.

Saumya Ayurveda's healing trifecta: food as medicine, lifestyle practies, and Ayurveda herbs

Love up Your Liver with Ayurveda

Ayurveda’s Healing Trifecta: a Framework for a Balanced Life. Create a path to health and healing with Food as Medicine, herbs, and Ayurvedic lifestyle practices.


When we understand our unique pathway to a balanced life – we thrive. This concept is a central part of Ayurveda’s holistic approach to health and healing. But with 5,000 years of ancient wisdom to wrap your head around, getting started can be intimidating.


At Saumya Ayurveda, we provide clarity and direction by breaking your custom health plan into three foundational pillars: Food as Medicine, Ayurvedic herbs, and Ayurvedic lifestyle practices.


Take a closer look at our “Healing Trifecta” – and how we use the tools within these three pillars to create small shifts that radically transform your life.


Food is medicine and is the first pillar. Peruse our Pitta (and liver) recipes on the Saumya Blog and learn how to turn your food into medicine.


Love up your liver with Ayurveda healing trifecta. "stress can damage hepatic tissue both directly and indirectly." according to the National Institute of Health. Meditation reduces stress. The Mayo Clinic reports, "Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health."

There is a saying, "The mind is more in the body, than the body is in the mind." The Saumya 3 step meditation process shifts us from fight-flight-freeze mode, to rest-restore-relax mode. Give it a try for forty days and observe the changes. The more grounded and relaxed we are, the smoother life flows.


"The breath is the connection between the mind and body, so by training the breath, we become calm, focused, and grounded, we slow down the aging process by decreasing stress. These practices are so simple and easy to have as part of our daily life. We actually feel and look younger."

- Veena, Saumya Ayurveda


1. Learn Diaphragmatic Breathing and Change Your Life. When we re-learn to breath diaphragmatically, we move from the flight-fight-freeze mode, to rest, restore, relaxation mode from where we want and need to live.


2. Daily Guided Practices: 11 minutes in the morning and in the evening, as anchors of your daily Ayurveda routine.

"Veena was able to help me regain my energy in just a few months and I’m feeling like my “young” self again! I love the food plan she designed for me, and all the supporting practices (am/pm routines, breathing techniques, herbs, and spice mixes) are so enjoyable to incorporate into my day. I highly recommend Saumya Ayurveda if you want to feel better and have more vitality.”
