This relation has great importance in Ayurvedic treatment factor though this relation is described in viṣa-vegantara in kalpasthana. Pittadhara  kala is the sixth  kala among seven kala which is situated in the grahani. The Grahani and Agni are inter-dependant as agni is located in grahani. Therefore, the dushti of agni causes dusti of grahani which leads to various diseases of Pittadhara as well as Majjadhara  kala. As per various references from Ayurveda the medicines, and procedures having action on Pittadhara  kala are used in the treatment of diseases of Majjadhara  kala. As per various researches in modern science there is a relationship between Brain and gut.
