Ascites
Ascites, known in Ayurveda as Jalodara (the accumulation of water in the abdomen), is a serious condition characterized by the abnormal buildup of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. While often linked to liver dysfunction, the Ayurvedic approach views it as a deep imbalance of the Doshas , primarily Kapha and Pitta , which obstruct the channels ( Srotas ) responsible for fluid circulation and waste excretion.
