Liver Diseases in Astrology

The liver is the biggest gland in the body. It stores fats, minerals, and vitamins; converts sugar into glycogen and vice-versa and store it; removes toxins and destroys unwanted by-products; it converts cholesterol into bile. 

Our body has reactor-producing energy and heat. Our body requires a cooling system to control this heat. It is liver . its working can be compared with the working of the radiator of a car. It produces bile juice which is stored in the gall bladder and from there, whenever necessary, it is poured into the duodenum -part of the small intestine and turns the acidic semi-liquid food into alkaline. Now if the liver does not function properly and produce sufficient bile and if there is no free flow of this stored bile from the gall bladder into the small intestine, acidity in the digestive system increases. this in turn leads to excess heat in the body .one hand more acidity leads to gases, burning sensation , ulcers  in stomach/intestine/mouth , weakening of gums and teeth   and on the other hand excess heat produces cold due to heat, weak eyesight, thinning of ova and semen,early ejaculation , leukorrhea ,skin problems, falling of hairs,jaundice ,short temperedness etc.  

There are over 100 different forms of liver disease that affect men, women, and children. Some of them are liver cirrhosis, fatty liver, jaundice, liver cancer, liver failure, hepatitis, liver abscess, alcoholic liver diseases, etc.
