Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 This is probably a dumb question, but I have been going through the posts and I see the suggestion to " enhance agni " in some of them, but no instructions on how to do that. What is the best way to enhance agni and conquer ama? Darla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Dear Darla, Agni, in Ayurveda consists of two factors -ingestion capacity (Abhyavaharana Shakti) and digestion capacity (Jarana Shakti). If one is not able to eat sufficient quantity of food at a time ie a bowlful the size of one's palms joined together, then his ingestion capacity is reduced. If one is not able to digest his standard meal within 6 hours, then his digestion capacity is reduced. In both cases, it means that the Agni is reduced. If one eats heavy foods when his agni is weak, then it gives rise to undigested or half-digested elements affecting the digestive tract as well the whole body. This is called as Ama. Fear, tension, stress, lack of sleep can also reduce Agni. Hence, while enhancing Agni, food irregularities and bad daily chores should be first corrected. Medicines come thereafter. Ginger, lemon and spices are some of the common herbs which increase Agni and conquer Ama. Fasting (Langhan) is also a good therapy advised in Ayurveda, provided the subject has a strong mind to carry it to it's proper conclusion. The best choice depends on the subject's health status and his abdominal condition, whether he is affected with acidity, gases, constipation, loose/ unformed stools etc. Dr.D.B.Muzumdar M.D.Ayurvedic Medicine, INDIA ____________ This is probably a dumb question, but I have been going through the posts and I see the suggestion to " enhance agni " in some of them, but no instructions on how to do that.
