Concept of Ahara Parinaman in view of Agni - A Physiological and Anatomical Review
Abstract
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.
