I recently did a workshop for a group of people interested in finding out about the link between Agni and Ama — Agni being the digestive fire and Ama being the toxic build-up or by-product from unprocessed waste in the body.
🔸When Agni is low, Ama increases, leading to:
• Fatigue and lack of energy
• Digestive issues such as bloating and constipation
• Foul breath and body odor
• Heartburn
• Loose stools
• Mental fog and lack of clarity
• Generalized aches and pains
• Skin problems like acne and eczema
🔸When Agni is functioning at its peak, Ama is kept at a minimum — meaning your eyes are brighter, your skin is clear and radiant, you’re digesting efficiently and thinking clearly.
In this workshop, we explored the link between Agni and Ama and how we can manage it.
🔸Here are some ways to support Agni and to reduce Ama naturally:
• Eat light, warm and freshly prepared meals like khichdi or simple soups
• Include digestive spices such as ginger, cumin, black pepper, turmeric and ajwain in your meals
• Sip warm water throughout the day to prevent Ama from hardening
• Try gentle fasting or skipping a meal occasionally to let your digestion reset
• Practice yoga, pranayama and regular walks to support circulation and digestion
• Use Ayurvedic herbs such as Triphala, Trikatu and Guduchi to gently cleanse the body and strengthen Agni
If this is something you’ve been thinking about and wondering how to manage these conditions for yourself — here’s your little reminder on how to start. 🌿
