They are – i) <em>Swasthasyaswasthyarakshanam </em>i.e. maintaining health by adopting proper preventive measures and ii) <em>Aturasyavikarprashamana</em> i.e. curing diseases by giving suitable treatment for the ailment.<sup> [1]</sup> In Ayurveda the term <em>‘Agni’</em> is considered as the power which converts the ingested food substances from one form to another. Agni converts food in the form of substances which are accepted by the body. Ayurveda considers ‘<em>Dehagn</em>i’ as fundamental cause of life, complexion, strength, health, nourishment, lustre, oja, teja and prana. <sup>[2] </sup>In Ayurveda, Agnimandya is said to be the root cause of most of the diseases<sup>[3] </sup> like Atisar, Grahani, <em> Arsha</em> etc. So it is important to understand the Concept of Agnimandya thoroughly to avoid the occurrence and reoccurrence of various diseases. In the present era of 21<sup>st</sup>  century <em>Arsha</em> has become more common and distressing disease. Symptomatic <em>Arsha</em> affect atleast 50% of population at some phase during their lives with around 5% of population suffering at any given time. So It is important to take care of Agni to avoid Agnimandya.</p>}, number={04}, journal={Ayurline: International Journal of Research in Indian Medicine}, author={Agarkar, Pallavi and Sanjay Chopkar and R.
