An Analytical Study on Agni and Its Importance in Kaya Chikitsa

Author(s) Dr. Sangeeta Dev, Dr. Rakesh Sharma
Country India
Abstract Agni is one of the significant concepts of Ayurveda, and in the branch of Kaya Chikitsa (general medicine), it is the key foundation for maintaining health and promoting the prevention of diseases. The current analytical study aims to highlight the concept of Agni from the perspective of Ayurveda, linked to its aspect in Kaya Chikitsa as a tool for homeostasis and extensive health status. The term Agni in Ayurvedic refers not just to digestive function, but also how well the body metabolizes the food, absorbs the nutrients, and eliminates the waste. The different kinds of Agni such as Jatharagni (digestive fire), Bhutagni (fire in the elements), and Dhatvagni (fire in the tissues and their relationship with the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) are elaborated in this study.
The role of Agni in prevention of disease, especially about digestion, detoxification, and nourishment of tissues, is the focal point of the paper. It also investigates the different therapeutic methods employed in Kaya Chikitsa to correct a disturbed Agni or when the Agni becomes disturbed due to inability to maintain equilibrium therefore resulting in imbalances and diseases. Additionally, the article explores modern scientific research that support the Ayurvedic principles of Agni, proposing a wider framework of potential health effects. Finally, the paper concludes by recommending directions for further research of Agni´s application in contemporary healthcare settings, particularly with chronic conditions and holistic health paradigms.
