The entire range of digestive and metabolic activity of the body takes place with the help of the biological fire of the body called
agni.
Agni can be termed as the various enzymes present in the elementary canal, liver and the tissue cells.
- The energy or the heat element exists in the body in the form of pitta (i.e. various enzymes).
- Health, vigour, strength and life itself depends on the digestive and tissue enzymes.
- Abnormal activity of these enzymes leads to disease while cessation of activity leads to death.
- A person with good digestive power, i.e. samagni has good appetite without having any symptoms of indigestion.
- After digestion of food, it is responsible for formation of various constituents of the body, namely various tissue enzymes as well as doshas.
