Jatharagni. Jatharagni is the Agni or bioenergy present in the Jathara (stomach and duodenum). According to Ashtanga Hridaya, Jatharagni, the seat is grahani (duodenum), so called because it withholds the food for a certain time inside the Amasaya (stomach) to facilitate digestion.
Besides, how can I improve my digestive fire?
- Avoid eating in between meals (no snacking; let your huger—and fire—build)
- Sip warm fluids (avoid cold and carbonated drinks; drinking just hot water throughout the day will stoke your digestive fire, improve digestion, and help prevent the accumulation of ama)
Keeping this in view, how many types of Agni are there?
13 Types
The first and most fundamental treatment of Ama is Langhana (Fasting) until the digestive fire (Agni) becomes normal. It then reduces the obstructions in the channels and digests the Ama, reducing all signs and symptoms produced thereby.
