ABSTRACT

The term Agni, in common language means fire. In the context of the functioning of a living organism, which maintains its integrity and performs its vital activities, by converting – in Pakadi Karmas or bio-physical and bio- chemical processes- the food consumed in various way – Ashita, Khadita etc, not only into its various structural and functional constituents but also to provide the energy necessary for proceeding of innumerable vital activities. In Ayurveda Agni is said to be the Moola in the development of every disease. Vitiation of Agni leads to the development of Ama which is the basic element in the pathogenesis of every disease as explained by Vagbhatta. Aam rasa utpatti results in the formation of vitiated Utrotar Dhatus and consequently development of Vikaras of particular Dhatus. In this review article I am trying the establish the role of Agni in the pathogenesis of Vikaras. Keywords: Agni, Jatharagni, Kayagni, Dhatwagni, Amadosha, Ama, Vata, Pitta, Kapha, Purisha etc.
