Abstract

Agni is considered as the Mula- sustaining factor of living beings. Its proper maintenance helps a person to live a long life. Agni’s role in the management of an ailment is tested in this study. Food acts as medicine to maintain, to prevent and to treat a disease. The consumption of unwholesome food, irregular eating pattern, not adhering to the biological cycle and indigestion impairs the digestion thereby causing a number of diseases.

The complaint of pain abdomen and loose stools got subsided within a week of the treatment. When TSH was done it was 3.95 on 15/3/22 which was 6.3 on 8/12/21.
