    Vayu,agni and water acting as vatha,pitta and kapha is responsible for strong and effective digestion,the metabolic function and its relationship to health is the co ordinated action of the three doshas.
    The disease process starts when the doshas natural relationship becomes imbalance and impaired.When one or more of the doshas becomes excessive or defecient in thier functions indigestion results.The doshas perform many functions but pitta plays a important part in digestion.
    AGNI
    Pitta dosha controls digestion in the gut,it is the energy which gives rise to burning or combustion process.
    JATARAGINI manifest in the form of pitta the digestive fire.
    Food that is digested well and nourishes the tissues is a good and that person enjoys god health his state of agni is called SAMANAGNI
    When kapha becomes strong,food is not digested properly.The tounge gets coated due to indigestion and felling ill health.Tierdness and lethargy sets in this state is calles MANDAGINI.
    When pitta is excessive the food gets burnt out instead begin digested properly the person will be hungry at the same time not able to digest properly leading to peptic ulcer and gastritis.
    At times vata goes out of hand.It plays hide and seek ,one day it is strong and one day weak ,causes abdominal cramps,colicky pain,constipation .This is called VISHAMAGNI.
    Genrally if jataragni is weak all agnis too get vitiated leading to weakness and general slowing of metabolism.
    When digestion is impraried nutritients are not avilable to nourish the tissues .Toxins accumulates leading to impaired functioning and consitute the root cause of most degenerative disease.
