The concept of Agni is one of Ayurveda's most significant contributions to the medical system. Agni regulates strength, health, lifespan, and food intake. The term "Agni Bala" refers to power, mediocrity, and inferiority. Agni digests various quantities of food: excellent, average, and less. The Agni digests, absorbs, and assimilates what it eats to maintain life. Agni is classified into 13 categories based on its purpose and place of action: one Jatharagni, five Bhutagni, and seven Dhatvagni. One Jatharagni, five Bhutagni, and seven Dhatvagni. The primary digestive enzyme, Jatharagni, breaks down four types of food into Rasa and Mala. In this essay, an attempt has been made to describe the concepts of Agni in Ayurveda.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of Agni is one of the most important contributions of Ayurveda to health care system. In Ayurveda, Agni has a significant role to maintain body homeostasis, body functioning, digestion and metabolism. Countless alterations happen in the body every second in the form of biochemical, biophysical, or other types of biotransformation. The entire spectrum of the body’s metabolic and digestive processes is managed by the Agni. According to function and site of action, Agni is divided into three types i.e. 1 Jatharagni, 5 Bhutagni and 7 Dhatwagni. Jatharagni is chief among all types of Agni’s because functions of Bhutagni and Dhatwagni depend on this. Jatharagni plays a key role in digestion of food-stuffs composed of the five basic elements and transforms it for utilization by the respective tissues. By this article an attempt has been made to describe the concepts of Agni in Ayurveda and its modern interpretations.

Full textAbstract:
In the present era, many diseases are occurring due to faulty dietary habits i.e. excessive or less diet intake. Consid- ering these conditions, Matravat Ahar (proper quantity of diet) is important in the case history of particular Vyadhi (disease). Ayurved suggests taking matravat ahar. Ahar Matra (quantity of diet) depends on Jatharagni Bala, that’s why it varies from person to person. Ahar Matra is of two types i.e. Samyak Matra (appropriate quantity) and Amatra (inappropriate), in which Amatra causes various diseases. Again, Amatra is of two types i.e. Heen Matra (deficient quantity) and Atimatra (excessive quantity). Heen Matra is the main cause of Vata Vikara (diseases of vata dosha) and Atimatra particularly causes Aampradoshaj Vikar (diseases due to aama). So detailed study of Ahar Matra is important while taking the case history of the patient. So that this attempt has been made to find out the concept of Samyak Ahar Matra explained in Ayurveda w.s.r. to Jatharagni (digestive fire) and its importance in the case history. Keywords: Matravat Ahar, Samyak Matra, Amatra, Heen Matra, Atimatra Jatharagni Bala, Aampradoshaj Vikar

Full textAbstract:
Agni, the fire element in the body, is responsible for the conversion of food into energy, essential for all vital functions. If Agni ceases to function, death occurs, making its maintenance critical for health. There are three types of Agni: jatharagni (digestive fire), bhootaagni (chemical fire), and dhatwagni (metabolic fire). Among these, jatharagni plays the most significant role in maintaining health, with four functional states: vishamagni (irregular), teekshnagni (intense), mandagni (low), and samaagni (normal). Samaagni, the balanced state, is crucial for maintaining health. This paper explores the relationship between Agni and lifestyle diseases, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a balanced Agni for health.Material & Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 100 healthy individuals of the 18 to 30 years age group of either gender. Jatharagni was assessed by using a standardized questionnaire.Result: Association of Agni with the lifestyle was done by using principal component analysis and correlation method. A statistically significant correlation was established at the level of p < 0.01.Conclusion: Though the result showed significant association, large population-based works are needed for conclusional statements.

The body is the outcome of food. Even so, the disease is the outcome of food. The distinction between ease and disease arises on account of wholesome nutrition or the lack of it respectively. Food is the factor that sustains and supports the Deha Dhatus, Ojas, Bala and Varna. Ayurved is mainly based on preventive aspects first than cura- tive. Food is considered as the first pillar among the Nidra(Sleep) and Brahmacharya being the other two. Food is important as a nutritional source, also with therapeutic value. It also plays a very important role during the post- treatment period in regaining the diminished strength due to the harmful effect of the disease. Ayurveda gives immense importance to Pathya Ahar in the words" without the use of Pathyakar Ahar medicines is of no use and if Pathyakar Ahar is taken there is no need of other medicines." This food depends upon Agni to contribute to the nourishment of the body. The body elements or Sharira Dhatus cannot be nourished and developed when food is not properly digested by Agni. Ayurveda considers Dehagni as a cause of life, complexion, strength, health, lus- tre, Oja, Teja, nourishment and Prana. As per Acharya Charak, Agni is divided into 13 types i.e. one Jatharagni, five Bhutagni and seven Dhatvagni. Jatharagni (Digestive power) is directly related to Dhatvagni or bioenergy in the cells and their metabolic processes, with ultimate tissue metabolism or Dhatu Nirmana Processes. All thenormal functions of Dhatu, Upadhatu and Mala in the body all are directly dependent on the health status of Agni. Thus, Pathyakar Ahar and Agni play an important role in the maintenance of healthy life. Keywords: Ahar, Agni, Jatharagnii, Hair, Kesha

Ayurveda is science of life and life depends on Agni(digestive fire). Jatharagni(digestive fire of stomach),Dhatwagni(digestive fire related to body Dhatus) and Bhootagni(digestive fire related to Mahabhoots) are three types of Agni in body. Another division is done on the basis of Paka (digestion) i.e., Tikshna(abnormaly high), Manda(low), Sama(proper),Vishama(sometimes proper). Jatharagni(main digestive fire that nourishes other agnis too) is considered main Agni in body which nourishes other Agnis in body. Acharya Vagbhatta considers Agnimandya(low digestive fire) as root cause of all diseases. Whenever there is Agnimandya it causes formation of Ama(indigested food). It’s manifestations can be seen over tongue. It causes coating of tongue. Acharya Yogratnakar suggested JivhaPariksha(tongue examination) under Ashtavidha(8 types)Pariksha. To find this relation,this study was conducted over 350 volunteers. Tongue photographs were taken (before and after brushing)and volunteers were asked questions as per questionnaire. Assessment of Jatharagni status was done with validated format over tongue health. Suitable test(Chi-square) was used to reach conclusion,where this relation found true and not by chance.

Modern correlation of agni in the process of digestion. It is called bioenergy of the body, which helps in local activities and metabolic activities of our body. Agni in Sanskrit generally means fire; it is typically one among Panchmahabhootas. Agni leads to the transformation of food into body tissues. Agni is responsible for the digestion of food and metabolism in our body. Mainly, jatharagni plays a significant role in this, so it is known as koshtagni as it is situated in our koshta. Jatharagni is also responsible for activating two other types of agnis, that is, -7 types of dhatva agni and 5 types of bhutagni. Food that we intake contains various nutrients that are consumed by humans and undergo multiple metabolic processes in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), where agni plays an important role.

Full textAbstract:
In the Ayurvedic medical system, Agni represents the primary force governing digestion and metabolism within the body. It manifests as the active component in bodily secretions responsible for catalyzing digestive and chemical processes. Physiologically Agni performs functions of digestion, absorption and assimilation of ingested food. Jatharagni holds a central position as it influences the functioning of both Bhutagni and Dhatvagni. Physiologically Jatharagni transforms ingested foods into Rasa and Mala. The Bhutagnis act on specific elemental components of food, nourishing the corresponding elements within the body. The Dhatvagnis operate on respective tissues, breaking them down into different parts. The overall transformative process led by Agni contributes to the maintenance of vital aspects such as Bala, Arogya, Ayu, Prana, Swasthyam, Varnam, Utsaha, Prabha, Ojha and Teja. Agni serves as a critical factor in transforming ingested substances of diverse origins into a uniform nature, converting consumed food into energy.

Agni is one of the important aspects of Ayurveda, which affects the health status of human being up to great extent. As per modern science, Agni can be correlated with digestive fire mainly performs functioning of digestion & metabolism. In Ayurveda Jatharagni, Dhatwagni and Bhutagni are three types of Agni among which Jatharagni is most important, which generates metabolic transformations (Ahara paka), and this metabolic transformation of ingested foods provides nutrition to the body. If the formation of Ahara paka does not take place properly due to any causative factors then production of Aam/Aamvisha occur and abnormal physiological functioning may be ob- served which leads to disease like Ajirna, Amlapitta etc. Acharya Kashyap is the first person who mentioned Amlapitta as a separate disease. He has not given an only vivid description of Amlapitta, but also its treatment too mentioned in Kashyap Samhita. Considering this aspect present article summarized some clinical manifestations of Aam/Aamvish janya Amlapitt and its management by Ayurveda. Keywords: Agnidusti, Aam, Aamvisha, Amlapitta.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is chronic inflammation of the thyroid gland due to the formation of autoantibodies. It is an autoimmune disorder that would lead to hypothyroidism. Failures of host defense do occur, however, and fall into three broad categories: immune deficiencies, autoimmunity and hypersensitivities. Ayurveda has a unique approach in treating the auto immune disorders through Shodhana and Rasayana Therapies. Due to Nidana Sevana, Kapha - pitta vata dushti takes place leading to Jatharagni Vaishamya and Ama Utpatti. This causes Asamyak Ahara Pachana, Rasavaha Srotodushti, Rasa Dhatwagni Vaishamya leads to Uttarottara dhatwagni and Dhatu Vaishamya. When Agni becomes too low, metabolism is affected. Shodhana karma has a great efficacy in Sroto-shodhana and in turn it corrects the functioning of Jatharagni, dhatwagni Srotas and Doshas. The present case study includes a female patient of 26 years age suffering from Hashimoto's thyroiditis complaints of gradual increase in size of swelling over neck for 3 years She was treated with Shodhana and Shamana Aushadhis for 3 months and found effective in reducing the levels of antibodies.

Full textAbstract:
The term Agni is used in the sense of digestion of food and metabolic products. So it is the great source of energy in universe as well as in the body. Ingested food is to be digested, absorbed and assimilated, which is essential for the maintenance of life and is performed by Agni in Ayurveda. Agni converts food in the form of energy, which is responsible for all vital function of the body. About the importance of Agni, Acharya Charaka has mentioned that the individual dies after stoppage of the function of Agni, and when the Agni of an individual is in equilibrium state, then person is healthy and would lead a long, happy and enjoying disease free life. But, if the Agni of a person gets disturbed by any means, the whole metabolism would be disturbed, resulting in ill health. Hence, Agni is said to be the base (mool) of life. Out of thirteen types of Agni, viz,- one Jatharagni, seven Dhatwagnis and five Bhutagnis, Jatharagni is the leading one controlling all other kinds through its power.

Ayurveda is a science that has been around for thousands of years and has proven to be beneficial to humans. Ayurveda is based on the tridosha theory. Vata, one of three doshas, plays an essential and major part in both healthy and unhealthy conditions, according to acharya sushruta dosha, dhatu and mala maintain our body. There are five types of vata- prana, udan, samana, vyan and apaan vayu. Among these five doshas samana vayu is situated near jatharagni and circulate all over the GIT tract. It helps in the division of essence and waste products, as well as the movement of the gastrointestinal tract, by stimulating the agni. In the body, jatharagni takes the form of pachak pitta, one of the pitta subtypes. Agnimandhya is responsible for all diseases, as we all know. The fire is fueled by samana vayu, who keeps it balanced. As a result, samana vayu might be regarded to play a specialized role in digestion. All of the samana vayu's functions can be compared to the physiological functions of the enteric nervous system and the sympathetic and parasympathetic supply of the Autonomic nervous system to the gastrointestinal tract. In this article, an attempt is made to correlate the physiological activity of samana vayu with the enteric nervous system. Keywords: Samana vayu, Prana vayu, Apan vayu, Sacral Segment.

The first and fore most aim of Ayurveda is to maintain the health of an individuals as well as cure of diseases. Healthy status can be maintained with proper diet and treatment if any disease occurs. The pitta dosha, a fiery mind-body aspect linked to metabolism, is known to reside in the liver, which is known as its "seat" or "home”. Liver aids in the digestion, metabolization, absorption and production of vital substances in body every day. jatharagni which stimulated by samanaVata digests food which is taken in proper quantity and in proper time. The "Agni" relates to the mechanics of digestion and metabolism; normal agni function maintains normal physiology and hence good health; agni vitiation results in dieses. Jatharagni and Paachak Pitta's efficiency are essential for Pachan. Aam is the Apakva Ahara Rasa created by the effects of Mandagni on food consumed. Many diseases have it as their underlying cause. Every material on earth has medicinal properties, according to Ayurveda, if used correctly. Our food has the potential to act as medicine for an effective treatment. Many food ingredients, such as saindhavlavan (table salt). Aardrak (ginger), Rason (garlic) Haridra(turmeric) etc. are used on a daily basis to improve the taste and flavour of meals and enhance the proper metabolism, and inc. the absorption of nutrients of food.

Full textAbstract:
Agni is an important aspect of existence of human life. Agni is intended to be a symbol of wholesome life within the body. Its depletion poses a serious threat to life. It determines how much food should be consumed and also affects food digestion, metabolism, cell transformation and nourishment of tissues. It is crucial for determining the severity of disease and health. Agni is classified into 13 types: one Jatharagni, five Bhutagni, and seven Dhatvagni, based on its functions and site of action. The most significant is Jatharagni, which breaks down four different kinds of food into Rasa and Mala. The five Bhutagnis feed the Bhutas in the body by acting on the corresponding Bhutika part of the meal. Every Dhatu is divided into three parts by the seven Dhatvagni acting on its corresponding Dhatus. Thus, the two categories of goods that come from the full transformation process are Prasad (essence) and Kitta (excrete). The former is consumed for sustenance, whereas the latter is discarded because, if it remains in the body longer, it defiles it. Dhatu is either depleted or overproduced depending on whether the Agni rise or decrease. This shows that Agni has an autoregulatory and negative feedback system. The restoration of a well-formed Dhatu and the adjustment of Agni are necessary for disease treatment. Hence, our body’s normal physiology and pathology depends on Agni, mainly Dhatvagni.

Ayurveda believes in the theory that whatever is present, in the external universe is also present in the human body. Understanding the factors that constitute the body provides knowledge regarding the factors which are responsible for its well-being. The complete physiological action of the body can consolidate in Dosha, Dhatus, and Malas, these three are the main constituents of the body. The Tridoshas", control the fundamental physiological functions of the body. Vata being supreme among the three Doshas, conducts and controls all the activities of the body through Vayu. The Samana Vayu lies near the Jatharagni and its Sancharsthan (effective area) is Kostha; its function is Grahana, Pachana, Vivechana, and Munchana of Anna Dravya and providing strength to Agni. Prana, Samana, and Apana are three types of Vayu, that assist Jatharagni in the process of Anna Pachana. In modern science, a lot of research has been done regarding the factors participating in the regulation of the gastrointestinal tract such as enzymes, hormones, nerves, etc. However, the exact role of Samana Vayu in the regulation of Agni and consequent absorption of different food materials and metabolism followed by excretion, etc. is not properly understood in Ayurveda, leading to confusion between the functions of Samana Vayu, Pachaka Pitta, Kledaka Kapha and even up to the excretory functions of Apana Vayu. This study aims to understand the role of Samana Vayu in the physiology of Pachana through Agni and its regulatory mechanism.

Full textAbstract:
According to Ayurveda, when Doshas, Dhatus, and Malas are in Sama-Awastha and Indriya, Aatma, and Mana all are working properly then this state is considered as ‘Swastha’. To maintain the state of health, Agni should be Samagni which means in the normal state. Ingested food is to be digested, absorbed and assimilated, which is unavoidable for the maintenance of life, and is performed by Agni in Ayurveda. Agni is the invariable agent consisting digestive and different kinds of hormones, enzymes, and co-enzymes activities which plays important role in the process of digestion and transformation. Therefore, Agni is responsible for strength, health, longevity; vital breath and it determines the quantity of food to be consumed. Agni plays a huge part to keep up with body homeostasis, body working, digestion of the body, and legitimate working of the body. Major factors that cause diminished power of Jatharagni in human body includes the changing lifestyle and unhealthy food habits. Manda Jatharagni, if untreated leads to the formation of Ama Rasa. Thus, Ama formed results in Srotorodha which leads to Avarana of Udana Vata by Kapha, Pitta and Prana Vata further cause Khavaigunya. Rasavaha and Raktavaha Srotas gets vitiated and systemic manifestations are seen. In the process, Pranavaha Srotas gets vitiated, manifesting local symptoms of Pratishyaya or Allergic Rhinitis. Thus, Ayurveda considers that Agni is the cause of life, complexion, strength, health, nourishment, Oja, Teja and Prana (life energy).

Grahani is an organ that holds the food in GIT. The Jatharagni within Grahani is the main strength and support which also gets support and strength from Grahani. Any deformity in the Agni or Agni Dosha results in diseases affected by Grahani which are called Grahani dosha, Grahani Roga, or Grahani Dushti. The pathophysiology of Grahani roga revolves around Agni dosha, which is linked to digestive fire dysfunction. Both anatomical and physiological deformity can be found in Grahani. Grahani is a critical disease of great relevance with ulcerative colitis. They have almost similar causative factors and symptoms like a loose stool with blood and mucous, constipation, dry and coated tongue, and anaemic and abdominal pain.

Grahani Dosha is one of the Mahagadas, according to Ayurveda. In contemporary science, digestive illnesses include Grahani Dosha. Currently, because of poor eating habits, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, and the adverse effects of modern medications, the incidence is 11.2% worldwide and 4.2–7.7% in India. The organ Grahani is the seat of Jatharagni (digestive fire), and both are interrelated. It’s supported and nourished by Agni's strength due to Agnidushti. The Grahani cannot perform its functions properly, which causes Grahani Dosha and further leads to Grahani Roga. Grahani is a critical disease of great relevance with ulcerative colitis.

Tridosha theory is the foundation of Ayurvedic science. One of the three Doshas, called Pitta, is very important for digestion and metabolism. There are five different varieties of Pitta Dosha: Pachaka, Ranjaka, Alochaka, Bhrajaka, and Sadhaka. Food digestion, Sara and Kitta Vibhajan, and feeding the Agneya component of Pitta, which is distributed throughout the body, are all tasks carried out by the Pachaka Pitta. It also goes by the name Jatharagni. after aiding in food digestion, this Agni form Pitta divides the Sara and Kitta Bhaga. All digestive enzymes, such as amylolytic, proteolytic, and lipolytic enzymes, can be compared to Pachaka Pitta, as suggested by the functions of this substance. The goals of digestive enzymes, gastrointestinal hormones, and local hormones can be linked to the actions of Pachaka Pitta.

The ancient Indian medical science Ayurveda describe various core concept related to the physiological functioning and biological response; Agni and Ritu are such concept. These concepts are not only helpful maintain health in a person but also cure disease. Agni gives power to our body by performing digestion and assimilation of food. Jatharagni, Bhutagni and dhatvagni contributes digestive and metabolic activities of absorbed food. Samagni gives Arogya, Ayu, Bala, Swasthyam, Varnam, Utsaha, oja, prabha and teja to the body which all are mirror physical and mental State1. Agni dushti is one of premier causative factor for many diseases so Agni play important role in understanding of disease prognosis, pathogenesis, diagnosis establishment of treatment protocol. In human being Agni also affected by various such as Ritu, Aahar etc. This article emphasized conceptual understanding of Agni and its variation according to Ritu.

Dosha, Dhatu and Mala are the basic elements of the body whose Source is Ahar Dravya i.e., Food is the basic source of energy for humans. Ayurveda states that our body gets it’s nutrition by Aahar Rasa. All the thirteen types of Agnis works on the four types of Ahar (Ashit, Peet, Leedh, Khadit) we take and are responsible in the formation of this Aahar Rasa. The process of Ahar Parinaman is continuing from birth until death at very minute level by Jatharagni, Bhutagni and Dhatwagni. The role of Agni is of immense importance for a healthy living because when the Agni is in normal state and if the individual consumes Matravat Ahar there will be proper digestion of food which forms Dhatusamyawastha ultimately leading to longevity. Impaired Agni is the root cause of all disease.

Full textAbstract:
Obesity and its accompanying consequences are increasingly linked to oxidative stress, as evidenced by a growing body of research. Several biochemical pathways, including superoxide production from NADPH oxidases and glyceraldehyde auto-oxidation, can cause systemic oxidative stress in obese individuals. Hyperleptinemia, inadequate antioxidant defence, chronic inflammation, and postprandial reactive oxygen species production contribute to oxidative stress. This Oxidative stress is related to or co-related to “Ama”. Ama is generated by improper or insufficient digestion of food particles due to a lack of Jatharagni and Mala accumulation in the body. Modern physiology has linked Ama to potentially harmful Free radicals. It is essential to neutralize free radicals because they have one or more unpaired electrons. Oxygen-free radicals, or "Reactive Oxygen Species," make up most dangerous free radicals. Ama is in the same boat as Avipakam (incompletely metabolized) due to its metabolism. This Ama brings on many diseases. Many diseases have been linked to free radicals.

Grahani Roga is a common Gastro-intestinal Tract disorder of present era. In Ayurveda, Grahani is considered as the main functional part of Mahasrota which is located in between amashaya & pakwashaya, also known as the 6th kala i.e., Pittadhara Kala where jatharagni resides and its main function is to hold the ahara upto the end of avasthapaka & after completion passes it into pakvasaya. Symptoms like alternate passing of hard & loose stool, abdominal pain, passing of foul-smelling stool, mucus in faecal matter are diagnostic of Grahani Roga. In modern science, above mentioned symptoms can be correlated with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). In IBS, the wall of the intestine becomes sensitive to even mild stimulus which causes excess abdominal cramps & hence the bowel movement alters along with indigestion. In this case an effort has been made to treat 33 years male suffering from Grahani roga, at Ayurveda Teaching Hospital within 3 months by various ayurveda medicine and panchakarma procedures.

Full textAbstract:
Grahani (duodenum) is regarded as the seat of Agni (digestive fire) and is sustained by its strength. Any factor that disrupts the normal function of Jatharagni (a type of digestive fire) can lead to Grahaniroga (Diarrhoea/Dysentry). Grahaniroga is categorised into different types based on the involvement of Doshas. Among all the kinds of Grahaniroga, Vataja Grahani Roga is more common and can be correlated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The causes of Vataja Grahani are primarily factors that aggravate Vata dosha. These include Katu, Tikta, Kashaya, Rooksha and Sheeta. The consumption of factors that aggravate Vata dosha leads to vitiated Vata enveloping the digestive fire (Agni), resulting in Manda Agni, or weak digestive fire. This condition causes delayed and difficult digestion, leading to Shukta paka forming, where the food becomes acidic. In Charaka Samhita, the treatment for Vataja Grahani is explained in detail. These include Aam Pachana, Deepaniya Ghrita, Anuvasana Basti,Virechana and Niruha Basti.

Ahara and Vihara play very important role in getting these Prayojana. The crucial role of Ahara and Vihara is maintenance of Dhatus i.e., Dhatusamya, by which all physiological activity remain proper e.g. Dahana, Pachana, Chaya-Upachaya Kriya, etc. By Vihara the fitness and constitutional arrangement of body remain well, Jatharagni gets improved and Bala as well Vyadhikshamatva also gets improved. Acharya Charaka says “Aharah Praninam Pranah” and Acharya Sushruta says “Praninam Punarmoolam Aharo Balavarna Ojasam Cha” that is the Ahara is the life of all the Pranis as well as base of Bala, Varna and Oja i.e., life is impossible without Ahara. Thus, Ahara and Vihara are useful for prevention of diseases. Ayurveda also frequently referred as 'Ashtanga Ayurveda' and Rasayana Chikitsa are the part of the Ashtanga Ayurveda. It helps a person to maintain good health or to establish impaired or lost physical or mental health. Rasayana Chikitsa are said to revitalize all the Sapta Dhatus (body elements), therefore, restores equilibrium and health.

Full textAbstract:
Vipaka is a unique concept of Ayurveda. It is the post digestive effect of any ingested substance. These can be in either of the two forms: Ahara Dravya (food) or Aushadh Dravya (medicine). Once the digestion of these substances takes place in the gastro-intestinal tract, it is metabolized and transformed into an absorbable form which is called Vipaka. In general understanding Vipaka is the final bio-transformation of digested food/drug. The term “Vi” (of Vipak) is ‘Vishishta’ means specific or special, and “Paka” refers to digestion or the function of Agni (digestive power or biological power). Any substance when ingested, it is digested and metabolized by the action of different specific Agnis (biological fire) i.e., Jatharagni, Bhutagni, and Dhatwagni of the body. During the entire process, the ingested substance decomposes and re-synthesizes several times for further absorption and assimilation process. This can also be referred to life experiences. In this study we will discuss and concluded different Dravya and their Vipaka.

Full textAbstract:
Ayurveda has fundamental concepts like Dosha, Dushya, Mala, and Agni. Ama is a key concept in Ayurveda that plays a significant role in the development of various diseases. Ama is unripe, undigested food, which is caused by Agnimandhya. Ama can produce at various levels, like at the level of Jatharagni, Bhutagni, and Dhatwagni. Ama production can result in a variety of diseases at respective levels, like Grahani and Amavata. Thus, Ama denotes the transition from physiological to pathological conditions, as it is the precursor of many inflammatory, infective, and degenerative changes that ultimately cause the full-fledged diseases. Keeping this approach, the review is carried out to understand Ama from Ayurvedic and modern perspectives. In this review article it can be concluded that Ama has no direct correlation in modern science but can best be equated to toxins, metabolic by-products, and hormonal dysfunctions. Different treatment principles are advised for Amavastha; the main line of treatment is Apatarpana, which includes Langhana, Langhana Pachana, and Doshavasechana.

Full textAbstract:
According to Ayurvedic medicine, the state of one's health is solely determined by Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, and Agni. One of the most essential features among them is Agni. Agni is associated with digestive fire, which is primarily responsible for digestion and metabolism. The primary forms of Agni are Jatharagni, Dhatwagni, and Bhutagni, which cause metabolic transformations (Ahara paka) and offer nutrients to the body through these metabolic transformations of consumed foods. If the creation of Ahara paka is disrupted owing to an insufficient digestive fire (Agni Dushti), aberrant physiological functioning may result. Agni Dushti can result in Doshas, Dhatus, and Malas Dushti, which can cause a variety of clinical symptoms. The components involved for digestion and metabolism of ingested food are known as Ahara Parinamakar Bhavas. Ushma, Vayu, Kleda, Sneha, Kala, and Samyog are the six of them. Each of them has a distinct role in the digestive process. Food that is adequately digested and metabolised aids in the nourishment of the Dhatus. Improper digestion is caused by the absence or deficiency of any of these Ahara Parinamakar Bhavas.

Ayurveda, an ancient medical science, emphasizes the balance of Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), proper functioning of Dhatus (tissues), and enhancement of Agni (digestive fire) for maintaining health. Mandagni, or diminished Agni, is a common ailment in Ayurveda associated with various gastrointestinal symptoms. This case study aims to evaluate the efficacy of traditional Ayurvedic interventions, specifically Chitrakadi Vati and Ekakala Bhojana (one-time meal in a day), in alleviating Mandagni and its related gastrointestinal manifestations. The study documents the case of a 38-year-old female patient exhibiting symptoms of Mandagni, including abdominal and head heaviness, cough, weakness, and tastelessness. Treatment involved Chitrakadi Vati and Ekakala Bhojana, aimed at enhancing Jatharagni and alleviating symptoms. Assessment criteria encompassed subjective and objective measures, showing improvements in symptoms and laboratory parameters post-treatment. Discussion highlights the pharmacological actions of Chitrakadi Vati and dietary modifications of Ekakala Bhojana in promoting digestion and alleviating symptoms. The study concludes positively, suggesting the efficacy of these Ayurvedic interventions in managing Mandagni and enhancing overall well-being.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: The science of Ayurveda focuses on the prevention and cure of illness. The Tridoshas, Sapta Dhatus, and Trimalas all endorse it. Apart from the Sapta Dhatus, Upadhatus play an important role. It is Artava, the Upadhatu of Rasa Dhatu, that causes conception in females. Therefore, Artava's health is very important in terms of reproductive health. The menstrual cycle is known in Ayurveda as Rituchakra and is separated into three phases: Ritukaala, Rituvyatitkaala, and Rajahsravakaal. The most significant is Jatharagni, which breaks down four different kinds of food into Rasa and Mala. Every Dhatu is divided into three parts by the seven Dhatvagni acting on its corresponding dhatus. Thus, the whole transformation process yields two different kinds of products: Kitta (excrete) and Prasad (essence). The former is consumed for sustenance, whereas the latter is discarded because, if it remains in the body longer, it defiles it. Since all of the Artava Dushti falls under the category of impaired Agni function, this Agni serves as a crucial foundation for the creation of Artava in the tree.

Full textAbstract:
Hypothyroidism is a condition characterised by the inadequate production of thyroid hormones; a common endocrine disorder found worldwide. It affects approximately 2-5% of the global population and is more prevalent in females. Ayurvedic texts do not explicitly mention hypothyroidism. Upon reviewing the clinical presentations in classical texts, it is evident that hypothyroidism is associated with imbalances in Jatharagni and Dhatwagni, along with disturbances in Kapha and Vata Doshas. Additionally, there are abnormalities in the Rasavaha, Raktavaha, and Medovaha srotas. Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, disturbed sleep, cold intolerance, dry skin, constipation, hair thinning or hair loss, depression, muscle weakness, slow heart rate, memory problems, hoarseness, a puffy face, and elevated blood cholesterol levels. Case report: In this case, a 42-year-old female with a known case of hypothyroidism for 2 years was treated with Rasayana, shothahara, Balya and kapha-vata balancing drugs and specific yogas, pranayama and pathya-apathya followed by per ayurvedic texts. Result: After 3 months of treatment, there was a significant reduction in signs and symptoms and TSH level.

Full textAbstract:
Amavata is made up of two words: Ama and Vata. It is a condition caused by the accumulation of Ama and Vata, and it resembles rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in modern parlance. Shodhana treatments are advised in Ayurveda whereas anti-inflammatory, analgesics, steroids, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are required for its management as per modern medicine, which are not free from side effects. When Ama and Vata get vitiated consecutively and get deposited in the Koshtha, Trik and Sandhi where they produce Shotha, Shoola, and Stabdhata then the term is known as Amavata. Due to impaired Jatharagni, the Aahar rasa formed is Apakva. This Apakva Aahar rasa thus formed is in the Ama stage, which causes Sarvadoshaprakopa. Ancient Acharyas of Ayurveda have described the sequential employment of Deepana, Pachana, Shodhana, and Shamana therapies in the management of Amavata. According to Acharya Sharangdhara, Virechana is indicated in diseases arising from increased Pitta, and Ama in diseases like udara roga, adhman, for clearing kostha. In Amavata, the main causative factor of disease is Ama. Virechana helps to normalise the pratiloma gati of Vata, which produces symptoms like Anaha, Antrakujana, Vibandha, Kukshikathinya, and Kukshi shoola.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Ayurveda is the holistic science of life. Its basics revolve around the tridoshas, namely Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. A perfect balancing of the Tridosh is required for the body to function normally. However, even the slightest movements of Pitta and Kapha are governed by Vata that establishes the dependency of these two on the Prana of life. Saman Vayu is one of the five types of Vata which is situated nearer to the Jatharagni and is known to provide strength to it. It, therefore, aids in the process of digestion. The second brain (enteric nervous system [ENS]) of the human body has gained prime importance in recent years. It is due to the significance it holds in relation to many diseases. The ENS and its close communication with the brain, all together govern the physiological activity of the gastrointestinal tract. The basic functions of Saman Vayu such as Anna Grahan, Pachan, Vivechan, and Munchan can be correlated with the functions of ENS. The symptoms of Vaikrut Saman Vayu also seem to relate with the disorders affecting the enteric neurons. Thus, here is an attempt to formulate a functional correlation between Saman Vayu and ENS.

Full textAbstract:
Grahani is an important part of the Mahasrotas (gastrointestinal tract). Grahani and Agni (digestive fire) have an Adhara Adheya Sambandha (mutual relationship). Jatharagni (digestive fire) governs the process of digestion, supported by the Tridoshas (three bio-humors). Due to a chronic imbalance of the Pachaka Pitta (digestive fire), Saman Vayu (the air entity that aids digestion), and Kledaka Kapha (the type of phlegm involved in digestion), a weak digestive fire (Mandagni) can lead to the release of food in its undigested form (Ama Utpatti), resulting in Grahani Roga. Any individual if suffering from symptoms like alternate passing of hard & loose bowel habits, abdominal pain, passing of foul smelling stool, mucus in faecal matter can be diagnosed as Grahani roga. In modern science, above symptoms can be correlated with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). In IBS the wall of the intestine becomes sensitive to even mild stimulus which causes excess abdominal cramps & hence the bowel movement alters along with indigestion. In India, IBS affects about 15% of adult population. This paper discusses the pathogenesis of Grahani Roga, a condition linked to impaired digestive function, and presents various treatment modalities, including herbs, Yoga, and lifestyle modifications.

Aging is an inevitable and progressive biological process that affects the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of an individual. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, provides a holistic approach to geriatric care, focusing on maintaining health, preventing age-related disorders, and promoting longevity. The concept of Jara (aging) is primarily associated with Vata Dosha aggravation, leading to degenerative changes in the body. Dravyaguna Vijnana (Ayurvedic pharmacology) plays a crucial role in geriatric care by utilizing various Rasayana (rejuvenate) herbs and formulations that enhance strength, immunity, cognitive function, and overall vitality. Ayurvedic interventions, including Medhya Rasayana (nootropic herbs), Balya and Brimhana Dravyas (strength-promoting substances), and age-specific dietary regimens, are effective in preventing and managing common geriatric disorders such as Sandhivata (osteoarthritis), Smriti Hani (memory loss), Pandu Roga (anemia), and Jatharagni Mandya (digestive weakness). Along with herbal medicine, therapies like Panchakarma, Abhyanga (oil massage), Swedana (herbal fomentation), and Shirodhara play a significant role in promoting physical and mental well-being in old age. This article explores the role of Dravyaguna in holistic geriatric care, highlighting Ayurvedic pharmacological principles, therapeutic herbs, and formulations that support healthy aging and longevity.

Ayurveda is the science of life, guiding in maintaining health and curing of diseases by balancing doshas-dhatus-malas and jatharagni. Ahara, nidra and brahmacharya form the pillars of health as per Ayurveda.
 Lifestyle diseases are those diseases whose occurrence is based on the daily habits of people and are a result of an inappropriate relationship of people with their environment. The main factors contributing to lifestyle diseases include bad food habits, physical inactivity and disturbed biological clock. Occupational lifestyle diseases include those caused by the factors present in the vicinity of pollutants. These factors are also responsible for environmental allergies. So, a healthy lifestyle must be adopted with a proper balanced diet, physical activity and by giving due respect to biological clock.
 Healthy lifestyle methods are now easily achievable with nutritional counselling, exercise training, de-addiction programmes, regular medical check-ups and stress management techniques. Ayurveda provides better solution in the guidelines of proper dietary management, lifestyle advises, panchakarma procedures like detoxification and bio-purification procedures, medicaments and rejuvenation therapies. In this revolutionized era, we cannot stop doing the developmental work, but we can certainly reduce our ailments with simple and effective measures in our lives as suggested in Ayurveda, the science of life.

Full textAbstract:
In Ayurveda there are various approaches to diagnose a disease; the concept of Nidan Panchak is one such modality of Ayurveda. Nidan Panchak helps to diagnose diseases at various stages. Knowing the definite Nidana (etiological factors), Dosha vitiation, Samprapti (pathogenesis or progress of disease) and to check it at early stage is given prime importance. Nidan Panchaka plays vital role to identify types of disease. It consists of five subtypes which are Nidan (causes), Purvarupa (Prodromal Features), Rupa (Clinical features), Upashaya (Therapeutic methods), and Samprapti (Pathogenesis). These five elements collectively or selectively help in making an accurate diagnosis. Aamvata is a diseased caused by Dushti of Rasavaha Strotas in which there is formation of Ama due to Jatharagni Mandya. The Aamvata condition closely resembles with Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune inflammatory condition characterised by symmetrical polyarthritis. Aamvata disease was first described in Laghutrayee by Acharya Madhava. Before the Acharya Madhava the concept of Aamvata was vague. Aamvata develops due to Dushti or Prakopa of Ama as well as Vata Dosha. As the disease Aamvata is very prevalent in society, it’s important to know the exact diagnosis along with treatment. In our current review we had tried to elaborate about the Nidanapanchaka of Aamvata.

Ayurveda is a system of medicine for the treatment of every disease manifested must have some certain name but it is more important to considered the doshas and dhatus, concept of Agnimandyata, srotovoradha, we can manage the signs, symptoms and complaint according to different diseases. A lifestyle disorder mostly occurs due to lack of awareness about proper diet (Ahara) and way of living (Vihar), which manifest as diseases as a result of imbalance of Doshas. In present environmental situation endocrine disorder is a common prevailing disorder among the adults,these include diseases like Diabetes mellitus (prameha) and Hypothyroidism (galganda) have profound influence on tissue metabolism and thermogenesis all over the body. Hypothyroidism trend is increasing i.e. 15 billion in 110 plus countries globally more than 2 billion and more than 40 million in India. [1] All the metabolic process of the body is being controlled by metabolic factors located in the digestive tract (Jatharagni). In Ayurveda, thyroid glanddisorder is correlated with Galganda, Gandamala but about the concept of hormones over production has not been mentioned clearly in the Ayurvedic text. Hence, here is an act of trying to do something to get understand the disease Hypothyroidism with galganda through vivid action of KanchanarGuggulu.

Full textAbstract:
Obesity has been described as Sthoulya or Medoroga in Ayurvedic texts. It is described under Santarpanottha Vikar. Sthoulya is an abnormal state i.e., excessive accumulation of Medodhatu. Faulty lifestyle like over-eating, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise leads to various health problems. One of such lifestyle health problem is obesity which leads to various disease such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, joint disorders, diabetes and sometimes cancer also. Now a days, obesity is considered as a Global epidemic and a public health problem. One of the important aspects is mentioned in Ayurvedic text is Agni which plays an important role to maintain the normal state of health (equilibrium of Dosha, Agni, Dhatu and Mala). Mandagni leads to production of Ama which may be at the level of Jatharagni, Bhutagni or Dhatvagni. Mandadhatvagni leads to improper Dhatu Vriddhi and vitiated Medodhatu is main cause of metabolic disturbance in an obese individual. Medodhatu also becomes increased due to excessive intake of Kaphavardhaka Aahar-vihar. The modern drugs like appetite suppressants and lipase inhibitor have their side effects but Ayurveda acts on the causative factors (aggravated Kapha Dosha, Mandagni and vitiated Medodhatu) through Aoushadha, Aahar and Vihar which will be further described in full paper.

Full textAbstract:
Agni is the factor governing the process of digestion &transformation. Agni is responsible for the digestion, absorption, and assimilation of ingested food. Some scholars opined that the functional form of agni exists as pitta, i.e., agni resides in the body as pitta. The varieties of agni have been enumerated in the Ayurvedic texts according to the functions and site of action; Agni has been divided into 13 types, i.e., one Jataragni, five Bhutagni, and seven Dhatvagni. Jatharagni is the most important, digesting four kinds of food and transforming them into Rasa and Mala. The five Bhutagnis act on the respective Bhutika portion of the food, nourishing the Bhutas in the body. The seven Dhatvagni act on the respective dhatus; each Dhatu is broken into three parts. In this way, the entire transformation process consists of two types of products – Prasad (essence) and Kitta (excrete). The former is taken for nourishment while the latter is thrown out, which otherwise defiles the body if it stays longer. The disease origin and pathogenesis involve the disturbance and vitiation of agni. So, the effective way to tackle this is to protect and maintain the agni. The ultimate essence of treatment lies in the correction of Agni, as it is the primary driving force in initiating the disease process.

Full textAbstract:
With modernisation dietary habits, life style, social structure and environment have been changing. Due to lack of physical activity and sedentary life style, metabolism of body is getting slower. In Ayurveda this is called dysfunction of Agni (Jatharagni and Dhatwagni). Impaired status of Agni leads to formation of Ama. Deposition of Ama hampers the functions of Vata leading to condition called Amavata. Occurrence of Amavata on large scale is one of the outcomes of this modernisation. Amavata is progressive sporadic disorder found in general population with complaints of difficulty in doing routine work due to dysfunction of joints especially due to pain, stiffness and swelling. Clinical presentation of Amavata closely resembles with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of synovial joints leading to destruction of joint and periarticular tissue. Patients are almost functionless for their work due to sluggish movement and painful condition. Amavata is one of the most troubles causing disorder for patients due to its deformity causing nature. It is also very challenging for clinicians due to its chronicity, incurability, and complications. Lack of awareness in the society about disease people suffer lifelong joint deformity. Contemporary system of medicine offers only symptomatic and palliative treatment which has more complications than benefits to the patients.

Full textAbstract:
Hypothyroidism is a condition marked by a reduced metabolic rate and a constellation of clinical features, including fatigue, weight gain, and cold intolerance. Modern medicine attributes these symptoms to deficient thyroid hormone production, whereas Ayurveda interprets the condition through the lens of Agni (digestive/metabolic fire), Ama (toxins), and dosha imbalances, especially the predominance of Kapha. This article uses a literature review method to integrate modern biomedical insights with Ayurvedic concepts, offering a holistic perspective on metabolic dysregulation in hypothyroidism. It is a clinical syndrome resulting from the insufficient production of thyroid hormones, which is a common endocrinal disorder seen all over the world. The prevalence of hypothyroidism is 2-5% of the global population. It is more prevalent among females. It leads to a long life of pathological events and makes the affected person remain dependent on hormone therapy. Thus, there is an increasing demand to understand the disease given Ayurveda and to establish the management through the Ayurvedic system of medicine. Ayurveda explains hypothyroidism as an abnormality of Jatharagni and Dhatwagni along with an abnormality of Kapha and Vata Dosha as well as Rasavaha, Raktavaha, Medovaha, Shukravaha and Manovaha Srotas.Dosha-dushyasamoorchhana in various Dhatus results in the systemicmanifestation of the disease. Thus, the treatment line involves Deepana, Pachana, Srotoshodhana and Kapha Vata Shamana.
