- Proper Digestion: Agni assists the body in breaking down ingested food, thereby facilitating easier nutrient absorption. Agni operates at both tissue and cellular levels, and is also responsible for proper metabolism. The food we consume represents only one aspect of the digestive process. We must also be able to digest information we see and hear, experiences we encounter, stress, active ingredients, tastes, smells, emotions, and general daily occurrences that enter the body through the skin – essentially, Life itself.
- Detoxification: Agni aids in the removal of waste products and toxins from the body. When Agni is strong and efficient, the body can more readily eliminate accumulated toxins, thereby promoting the production of high-quality cells (preventing excessive waste buildup), a clean intestinal system, and overall good health.
- Energy Boost: A balanced digestive fire is crucial for generating life energy within the body. Through Agni, consumed foods and beverages are converted into the energy required by both body and mind. When this fire is robust, the energy-boosting effect is enhanced, and vitality is strengthened.
- Strengthens the Immune System: The digestive fire is intimately connected to the immune system. Robust Agni supports the immune system’s effective operation by assisting the body in combating pathogens and illnesses. The health of the digestive system also plays a pivotal role in bolstering immune function.
A fundamental aspect of our assessment is the examination of digestion and the digestive fire, and its proper functioning. For this, our Ayurvedic expert, Ajay Singh, recommends herbal treatments, yoga practices, and Ayurvedic therapies, in addition to lifestyle and dietary advice, to help bring our bodies into balance.
