'Agni' in Ayurvedic Mythology
Ayurvedic Mythology
The following tasks are carried out by Agni:
Pakti-Apakti, the process of digestion and dyspepsia
Seeing clearly or not seeing at all (Darshanam-Adarshanam)
Mast - Amatratvamushmanala, the heat index
Skin kind (Prakrit - Vikarit varnam): normal or pathological
Might vs. dread (Shaurya vs. Bhaya)
Fury - burning (krodham-Harsham)
Mental haze to enlightenment (Moha-Prasadan)
There are three major categories of biological variables that are likely to display enzymatic activities (agnis) in relation to the metabolic processes that occur in the body.
Joshthagni or Jatharagni:
Included with the pitta pachak. During this process, it breaks down food into smaller pieces and absorbs those nutrients.
The following are the three parts that make up the digestion process (ahar pachan), which is also known as awastha paka.
Abdominal (Stomach) Amavstha (Madhuravastha) Paka
The Amlavstha or Pachymanavastha In the duodenum, under the 'grahani'
The small and large intestines contain Pakavstha (Katuavstha) Paka.
Each stage of digestion is known as an avsthapaka because the rasa changes with each stage. The digested meal retains its original rasa at the end of digestion, matching the rasa of the food that was consumed. The term for this is Nistha paka.It is also known as Vipaka in popular usage.
Katu, Tikta, and Kashaya rasas all have Katu vipakas, while Madhura and Lavan rasas also have amla vipakas.
Various types of Gnis
The five components are the building blocks of all things, including the human body, according to ayurveda. The five components that make up all life on Earth are called the panchmahabhoota. The exterior mahabhoot, Asharir Mahabhoota, is changed to Sharir Mahabhoota by Agni. For instance, when we consume water, the Jala Mahabhoota agni changes it into the Sharir Jala, but initially, the Jala Mahabhoota (water) takes precedence. The body uses it to transform the five basic elements into a composition that is beneficial to its needs. It contains five different kinds of biological factors.
Dhatvagnis: The third category has seven varieties, one for each of the seven tissues that are assimilated. In a sequential fashion, this assimilation occurs. Plasma (rasa) is the initial product of the ingested nutrient; subsequent products include blood (rakta), adipose tissue (meda), muscle tissue (mamsa), bone marrow (majjan), and reproductive cells (shukra).
The digestive process, or ahar pachan, is overseen by agni, and when ahar is absent, it acts on the ama pachan, or the correct metabolism of incorrect metabolites. Agni also performs all the metabolic tasks. In the absence of ahar and ama, Agni takes on the role of dhatu, which includes rasa, rakta, and so on. The process of breaking down dhatus for energy, known as digestion of dhatu, is lethal. Kshaya roga is an illness that develops when the quantum of dhatu in a person's body is reduced or lacking.
All disease, according to ayurveda, stems from a lack of Agni (Kaya). Therefore, the treatment or 'Kaya Chikitsa' in ayurveda refers to the rectification of Kaya, i.e. Agni.
Based on their effects on humans, agis are also grouped into four types:
“Tikshnagni” means crisp,
(Mandangni) - gentle,
Vishamagni appears to be atypical,
Regular or balanced, that is Samagni.
