2. INTRODUCTION -
• अथ खलु त्रय उपस्तम्भाः इति - आहभर स्वप्नो ब्रम्हचययतिति| (charak sutra) is the basic sutra in
Ayurveda.Thus ahar should be given immense importance.
• सोन्नियाः पुरुषाः।Meaning Human gastrointestinal system, it’s well being is the result of
what food he eats.
• A detailed आहभर तिधी स्वरुप is given as - उष्णं स्निग्धं मात्रात् स्निर्णे स्निर्ाास्निुद्धमम् इष्ट देशे
• इष्ट सिोपकरर्णं नास्नतद्रुतं नास्नतस्निलम्बितम् अिल्पम् अहसन् तन्मना भुंस्नित,
• आत्मानमस्नभसमीक्ष्य सम्यक
् || (charak viman) these are ettiquets to be followed
• while having food. Which are not followed nowadays leading to Agnivikruti.
• As said, सिे रोगा मन्दास्ननलो.. (A H Udar Nidan)
• Also rightly said, …शान्तेअग्नौ स्निर्ते, र्ुक्ते स्निरञ्जीित्यनामर्ः।रोगीस्यास्निक्र
ु ते मूलं
अस्नग्नस्तस्माद् स्ननुदच्यते॥ (Charak chi 15/3)
• Impairment of agni leads to range of diseases and ultimately may even lead to death also
and if agni is good then human life becomes chirayu. Thus agni is the main base of healthy
life. While studying etiopathogenesis and treating patients of Grahani disease, it was crystal
clear that ‘Agnidushti’ needs to be treated for major recovery from Grahani disease. This
disease always fascinated me while undergoing my clinical training in UG. Hence I ll like to
work on Grahani organ the seat of Agni with the help of my combination.
