Metabolic Disorders
METABOLIC DISEASES IN AYURVEDA (DHATWAGNI VIKARA)
In Ayurveda, metabolism is governed by Agni (digestive and metabolic fire) and Dhatus (tissues).
When Agni is balanced, digestion, absorption, and transformation of food into energy and tissues occur efficiently.
However, when Agni is disturbed due to faulty diet, stress, or sedentary lifestyle, it leads to accumulation of Ama (metabolic toxins) and imbalance of Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). This imbalance manifests as Metabolic Disorders (Dhatwagni Vikara).
At Dhathri Ayurveda, the approach to metabolic diseases focuses on Correcting Agni (digestive fire), Eliminating Ama (toxins), Balancing Tridosha, Strengthening tissue metabolism and rejuvenating the body through Panchakarma, Rasayana, and dietary correction
