AYURVEDIC LINE OF MANAGEMENT FOR DIGESTIVE DISORDERS

Ayurveda has a great role and excellent results in the management of digestive system disorders. In Ayurveda, Agni or digestive fire has a prime role. Agni denotes all the factors responsible for digestion and metabolism of the body.
Assessment of agni is an essential component in the maintenance of health as well as in treating diseases.
The food that is not properly digested is referred to as Ama, which is nothing but a toxin responsible for a wide array of diseases. Impairment of agni leads to the formation of ama in the body.
Ayurveda aims to remove ama from the body by increasing digestive fire by special purificatory procedures, internal medications, diet and life style changes.
