Review article on Agni Pareeksha
Abstract
Agni has been accorded prime importance by all the Acharya’s, as it plays a crucial role in the digestion, disease manifestation and overall health. The vitality, strength, and longevity of an individual depends on Agni. According to its site of action and the function Agni has been categorized into 13 types: Jataragni (1), Dhatvagni (7), Bhutagni (5). Acharya Vagbhata stated that all the diseases result from Mandagni, thus assessing Agni Bala is essential for understanding the pathogenesis (Samprapti) of the disease, planning treatment and determining prognosis. Anumana Pramana, Lakshana of Mandagni Vishamagni, Teekshnagni, Vyadhi based assessments can help to evaluate Jataragni, While the status of Dhatvagni can be inferred from the symptoms of Dhatu Vruddhi and Kshaya. Therefore, a physician’s path in treating a patient is significantly influenced by Agni assessment.
