Dyspepsia (Mandágní)
Four kinds of gastric fire or digestive activity
(jaóharágni) exist: Vißhamágni (Váyu-caused),
tíkßhòa (Pitta-caused), mandágni (Kapha-caused),
and samanágni (normal digestion). Vißhamágni is
variable digestion. Tíkßhòágni digests normal and
excess quantities of food too quickly. Mandágni
cannot digest any food. Samanágni digests normal
quantities of food without causing any difficulties;
this is the ideal state of digestion.
