Abstract

Food or Ahara is among the three significant pillars of ayurveda. Various types of viruddha ahara have been explained in ayurvedic samhita out of that Agni viruddha ahara plays major role in the process of disease formation. According to ayurveda Agni provides Bala (vitality), Varna (complexion), Arogya (good health), Oja (vital essence), and Teja (lusture) in the body. That Agni Viruddha Ahara is one of the major causes of Agnimandya which ultimately leads to formation of various diseases. One who has habituated to consume unwholesome food, such a recurrent intake of this unhealthy food will develop Amvisha (toxins) which leads to various diseases. Agni viruddha ahara or unwholesome food intake leads to hypo functioning agni specially Jathar Agni and thus likely to effect the functions of the other agni also.
