Ama makes the digestive fire slow and weak. Agni deepan is natural process to enable the natural mechanism of your body to reignite the digestive fire. For this you can chew on a piece of fresh ginger and drink a cup of lukewarm water 30 minutes before meals. Take your meals on specific intervals and take a semi-solid meal for a few days to rekindle the digestive fire.

As a result of following the above steps, the ama in your body will move towards the excretory system. Toxins are eliminated from the body through faeces, urine and sweat.

Certain herbal preparations help in this process, but it is highly advisable to consult your doctor at this stage.
