Abstract: The concept of Agni, or digestive fire, is central to Ayurvedic medicine, linking the physical and metaphysical aspects of digestion and metabolism. This paper critically analyzes Agni through the lenses of Rachana Sharir (anatomy) and Kriya Sharir (physiology). By exploring the anatomical structures and physiological processes involved in digestion, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Agni influences health and well-being. This paper also examines the implications of an imbalanced Agni and its correlation with various health conditions. Through a detailed review of Ayurvedic texts and contemporary studies, we underscore the importance of maintaining a balanced Agni for optimal health.
