nervous system, breathing,
and process of elimination,
evacuation and circulation

{Free radical damaging chart}
Ama is derived from 2
words;
“Aa” means near to and
“Ma” means poison
8. The concept of AMA or Free Radicals
{The Ayurvedic approach}
Ama = the Deadly Free Radicals –
“Sarve roga api mandagnow”(in SANSKRIT)
–
The root cause of all disease is mandagni
{Manda-Agni} (Weak digestive
fire/enzymes).
the knowledge of Agni to the Ama production
in Amashaya, to understand the healthy and
non-healthy state of the human body.
9. The concept of AMA or Free Radicals
{the Modern approach}
Ama = the Deadly Free Radicals –
Free radicals produced in our body are
unpaired unstable molecules, lacking the
appropriate electrons necessary to be
stable.
This is exactly what our fore fathers in
Ayurveda have outlined the Concept of Ama
formation, which when unchecked leads to
all types of above mentioned ill-health
conditions.
