📄 Abstract
Aim of Ayurveda is to maintain the health of healthy person and cure the diseases of the patients1. In Ayurveda Agni (digestive fire) plays a major role to maintain overall health. Ajirna accour due to Imbalance of the Again leading to the formation of Ama. there are different types of Ajirna mentioned in Ayurveda by different Acharyas. The management of Ajirna in Ayurveda occur by restoring Agni and eliminating Ama. Ajirna, or indigestion is a common gastrointestinal disorder described extensively in Ayurvedic classics. It refers to the incomplete digestion of food due to impairment of Agni (digestive fire), primarily caused by vitiation of the Doshas, especially Kapha . Ajirna leads to the formation of Ama (toxic undigested substances), which obstructs body channels (Srotas) and results in various systemic disturbances .The condition manifests with symptoms like loss of appetite, abdominal bloating, heaviness, nausea, belching and constipation. Classical texts classify Ajirna into various types - Amajirna, Vidagdhajirna, Vistabdhajirna and Rasasesajirna based on the dominant Dosha and clinical presentation . Factors such as improper diet (Ahara), poor lifestyle (Vihara), mental stress (Manasika), and seasonal variations (Agantuja) are common etiological contributors. Effective management in Ayurveda focuses on restoring the balance of Agni and eliminating Ama through interventions like Langhana (fasting),Vamana(emesis), Swedana (sudation). A holistic approach addressing both physical and mental factors is essential for the successful treatment of Ajirna and for the prevention its complications.
