Agnidushti, a pivotal concept in Ayurveda, denotes the disturbance or vitiation of the digestive fire (Agni), which is considered essential for overall health. An imbalance of Agni disrupts proper digestion and nutrient assimilation, resulting in the formation of toxins known as Ama, which are implicated in various diseases. This review critically examines the role of Agnidushti in human well-being, investigating its physiological and pathological implications as articulated in classical Ayurvedic texts. The discussion encompasses contemporary scientific perspectives on the repercussions of digestive disorders, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunctions, drawing correlations with Agnidushti. The review emphasizes that the restoration of a balanced Agni is crucial for enhancing physical, mental, and emotional health. By integrating Ayurvedic principles with modern medical insights, this article aims to provide a holistic understanding of Agnidushti and its relevance in contemporary health contexts. Moreover, it highlights various therapeutic approaches, including dietary adjustments, herbal remedies, and lifestyle modifications, that can aid in re-establishing digestive balance. Ultimately, this review seeks to bridge traditional Ayurvedic wisdom and modern scientific knowledge, offering valuable insights into the prevention and management of digestive disturbances and their systemic effects on human health.
