Agni is the digestive fire that takes care of the entire process of digestion. As and when this digestive fire burns brightly and vigorously within the stomach, we can enjoy perfect digestion. Yet on the other hand, when Ama builds up in the body systems, particularly the stomach region, this certainly attacks and nullifies the agni, thus making the body to lose the usual ability to digest food. Few things to keep in mind to light up your Agni and bid a goodbye to Ama:
-
Anything that makes any of your senses feel disrespected, uncomfortable, clogged, chocked or unclean – it’s a symptom of your body being out of balance. You are your best doctor and dietitian. Prescribe yourself peace of mind, restful state of the body and clean/light and Mindful eating.
-
Eat only when you are hungry. Believe that Nature is the best guide who can tell you that your earlier meal has been digested well.
-
Bitter, pungent and astringent are the tastes that should be focused on. Fruits and Raw vegetables could also abide by these flavours. Pure ghee, honey and cow’s milk along with whole grains and spicy herbal teas could do your some favour (and flavour).
-
Good thoughts, positivism and meditation act as catalysts in concentrating on awakening Agni and eliminating Ama. It’s always a game of the tripod: The Mind – Body – Soul.
