Shukla Sonal*, Agrawal Medha and Shukla Sanjay

ABSTRACT

Agni is supposed by Ayurveda, to be a root cause of human health. In Ayurvedic therapeutic to bring abnormal
agni to normalcy proves to be an effective way of cure. All changes occurring at macroscopic, microscopic at
inorganic, organic levels are due to pakakarmas done by Agni. Material has been collected from ancient ayurvedic
texts, Reference books research journals and electronic database. In this article efforts have been made to collect
various scattered data related to Agni. Pachakagni which located (in its own place) in an area between
pakwashaya, amashaya contributes parts of itself to the dhatus. The moieties of pachakagni present in the dhatus
when hyperactive leads to their wasting and if hypoactive to their hypertrophy.

Keywords: Agni, Bhutagni, Dhatwagni.
