Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ahara containing Shad Rasa undergo Pachana (digestion) at different levels in order to nourish the Dhatu. In Ayurveda, the process of digestion take place in two stages, namely, Avastapaka and Nisthapaka. Avasthapaka is the stage in the state or form of Ahara in the Amashaya and Pakvashaya in the course of digestion. This includes three stages i.e. Madhura Avasthapaka, Amla Avasthapaka and Katu Avasthapaka. Nisthapaka or Vipaka is conversion of Ahara Rasa into state of assimilation. Jataragni initiates and maintains Pachana of Ahara into Ahara Rasa. The Ahararasa then gets absorbed to respective dhatu by the action of Dhatwagni and Bhutagni. Variations in this process lead to various diseases. Hence, the stages and process of Ahara Pachana karma plays a vital role in maintaining the state of health.
