Pitta — spleen region

Central abdominal transformation focus

This point keeps the spleen in the Pitta middle-abdominal cluster used in modern Ayurvedic teaching, alongside the navel and liver anchors. It is a functional and diagrammatic focus, not a claim that the classical doṣa texts prescribe a fixed spleen coordinate.
