Abstract

Jatharagni is known as the King among all the forms of agni. The intensification and diminution of all other forms of agni is in fact dependent on jatharagni. The organ Grahani is the seat of jatharagni. It is supported and nourished by the strength of Agni. Normally it receives the ingested food, which is retained by restraining the downward movement. After digestion it releases the food through sides of lumen to next ashaya i.e. Pakvashaya. In abnormal condition due to weakness of Agni, it gets vitiated and releases food in indigested form when Agni is not proper the food will not be digested properly and this undigested food gets fermentation and act like poison in the body. It’s called Ama. Due to improper digestion of food, there is vitiation of the Dosha and Agni and symptoms like alternate Constipation and Diarrhoea, with associated symptoms are seen, which can be collectively called as Grahani Roga.
