Due to the purification of the body, the capacity of digestion & metabolism is enhanced, normal heath is restored and all sense organs start working with vigor, old age is prevented and diseases are cured.”
– Ca.Su.16.17/19

The purpose of shodhan (Purification) is to remove excess dosha & ama from the body. Ayurveda says toxins are produced when the aggravated doshas affects the biological fire (Agni) which in turns effects digestion, metabolism & assimilation. So undigested, unabsorbed, unassimilated food products remain in the body as a morbid substance.

Ama is a toxic, morbid raw, undigested, unabsorbed, unassimilated, non-homogeneous, sticky substance in the body that adheres to the tissues, clogs the channels & creates toxicity in the body. The root cause of the Ama is the aggravated dosha attacking (Agni) fire producing low digestion & metabolism. So Ayurveda says one should remove these aggravated doshas by Shodhan Karma.

There are specific herbs in Ayurveda, which has its purifying properties in whole body or in a specific organ such as colon, liver, pancreas, gall bladder, kidneys, lungs, blood circulation. The herbs used in Alive-Veda formulations for its individual product category, helps to removes Deep-Rooted Toxins & restore the body in its purest form.

Caraka Samhita, declares that digestion (Agni) is the root of health, vision, courage, intellection, happiness, and longevity. Imbalance of Agni (Digestive fire) is the root cause of all diseases. It must, therefore be protected at all costs.

Agni or the “Digestive Fire” is the collection of digestive process that is required to convert food into high quality tissues & energy for cells. And those processes involve all the digestive juices, hormonal secretion, enzymes. It is responsible for absorbing the essential nutrients the body needs while getting rid of waste products. If our Agni is strong, we build healthy appetites & digest food efficiently.

A healthy digestive system/fire (Agni) is a cornerstone of well being; as such, disease & disorder are believed to be arising from insufficient digestion. Your digestive fire simply refers to yours body’s metabolism—the process of turning nutrients from food into energy for cells to sustain life, which, of course is commandeered by your digestion, a complex combination of biological & chemical interactions. If our Agni is strong, we build healthy appetites & digest food efficiently.

According to ayurveda, there are 40 types of Agni in the body that carry out different metabolic activities. Following are the 13 forms of Agni in the body that – are most generally recognized:
– The one digestive fire
– The five elemental fires
– The seven Tissue fires

According to Ayurveda, all the diseases are connected directly or indirectly to an abnormality of Agni. When Agni is disturbed, incompletely digested food forms an internal toxin known as Ama. This substance can further putrefy & ferment within the intestinal tract and can spread throughout the body to cause disease. When our Agni (digestive process) is strong, we are able to process Ama easily for prevention of disease and maintenance of vibrant health. Healthy digestion nourishes the body. When we harness & maintain a healthy & balanced Agni, we can live a long & healthy life.
