CONCEPT OF AJIRNA IN AYURVEDA & ITS ROLE IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF GRAHNI ROGA -A REVIEW

Abstract

Ayurveda is an old traditional medical science that focuses on disease treatment and prevention. Ayu (long life), Bala (strength), and Varna (complexion) are all influenced by Agni's state. Because Agni is located in the Jathara(Stomach and Intestine), which digests and metabolises food and aids in body growth. All ailments are caused by inadequate, excessive, or irregular food digestion, which is referred to as Mandagni, Tikshnagni, or Vishamagni, respectively. When Agni is not functioning properly, food is not digested properly, and the undigested food ferments, acting as poison in the body. It’s called Ama. Ama Utpatti leads to Grahani Dosha. Ajirna refers to dyspepsia caused by disrupted Agni functions (indigestion). The most prominent source of Ama formation is Ajirna, which favours genesis illnesses. Agnimandya is an important component of the disease Grahani Dosha's Samprapti. Agni might be disrupted by an unpredictable lifestyle and a strange food. The first step in management is to eliminate the etiological cause. Unreliable seasonal regimen adherence, mental disturbance, and stress may all play a role in the progression of the Ajirna syndrome.
