You are what you digest...the secret of a strong Agni

AGNI IS THE METABOLIC ENERGY OF DIGESTION THAT HELPS TO ASSIMILATE FOOD AND AT THE SAME TIME TRANSFORM IT INTO ENERGY.
IT IS TRUE THAT WE ARE WHAT WE EAT BUT IS ALSO TRUE THAT WE ARE WHAT WE DIGEST.
AN HELTHY STRONG AGNI GENERATE INTERNAL WARMTH ALLOWING VITAL ENERGY AND CLEAR MIND.
THE QUALITY OF AGNI DEPENDS OF OUR DOSHA .
KAPHA AND VATA SOMETIMES TEND TO HAVE A WEAK OR IRREGULAR AGNI WHILE PITTA SOMETIMES TEND TO BE TOO EXCESSIVE.
AFTER THE HOLIDAYS ,DURING AN ILLNESS OR AFTER IT,IN PERIODS OF OVERWORKING AGNI CAN BE IN DISORDER.
AN HELP CAN COME FROM THE WORLD OF HERBS AND PLANTS.
SOME SIMPLE AYURVEDIC PRACTICES TO EQUILIBRATE AGNI:

1 BEFORE THE MEALS EATING A SMALL AMOUNT OF FRESH GINGER WITH SOME DROPS OF LEMON HELP TO PREPARE THE STOMACH TO RECEIVE THE FOOD CREATING THE 'GOOD FIRE' TO DIGEST THE MEAL.

2 EATING SOME SMALL PIECES OF CARDAMOM SEEDS AFTER THE MEAL HELP TO PRODUCE THE SALIVA AND STIMULATE THE ENZYMES IN THE INTESTINE.

3 TO HELP AVOIDING THE FERMENTATION OF FOOD  AND THE HORRIBLE SENSATION OF GAS IN THE COLON COOKING IN WATER FENNEL AND ANIS AND DRINKING DURING THE DAY .

4  THE KING OF HERBAL REMEDIES IN AYURVEDA IS THE ROOT OF ASAFETIDA .THE USE OF THIS ROOT ESPECIALLY AFTER THE LONG HEAVY MEALS DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND AFYER AN ILLNESS IS CAPABLE TO REMOVE TOXINS FROM THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.

I SEND YOU MY BEST WISHES OF A STRONG AGNI IN THIS 2022 JUST STARTED.
