Abstract

It is evident from the literary review in ayurveda that agni is responsible for health and disease.[1] If agni gets vitiated it leads to diseased condition in the body. As described by Vagbhata, all diseases are caused due to mandagni specially udararoga, arsha, atisara, and grahani.[2] Actually, agni is involved in almost each and every disease weather it is at the level of jathara or dhatu. The diseases like prameha, sthaulya, shotha, rajyakshama, pandu are due to dhatvagnimandya. Hence, most of the diseases like gastro-intestinal, allergic, autoimmune disorders and various metabolic disorders have the main causative factor as hypo functioning of agni.

Keywords: agni, mandagni, dhatvagnimandya, jatharagni.
