What is a spleen and how does Ayurveda support spleen health naturally? - #16661
I recently had some health tests done, and the doctor mentioned that my spleen is slightly enlarged. I’ve never really thought much about my spleen, but now I’m curious about its function and how it supports overall health. From what I understand, the spleen is involved in filtering blood, producing immune cells, and storing red blood cells. I also read that it’s an important organ in terms of detoxification and immune support. I’m wondering how Ayurveda views the spleen and what treatments it offers to support the health and function of this organ. Does Ayurveda recommend herbs or therapies to improve spleen function, especially if it’s slightly enlarged or underactive? I’ve heard that Triphala, Ashwagandha, and Gokshura are commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine to support immune health and detoxification, but I’m unsure which ones would help with spleen health. Additionally, I know that Ayurvedic detox treatments like Panchakarma are designed to cleanse the body of toxins, so I’m curious if these treatments can benefit spleen health as well. If anyone has dealt with spleen health issues or immune system imbalances, I’d love to hear how Ayurvedic remedies helped and what specific treatments worked for you.
