Abstract
Ayurveda mainly focuses in maintaining health status by improving the immunity of body and control the diseases. It is a holistic approach through which the prevention and treatment of diseases is only possible. When physician knows the pathogenesis and the causative factor of the disease, it is easier to treat and control the disease prevalence. Among many causative factors Ama is one such pathological factor which causes many diseases. Acharyas of Ayurveda described Ama as biological body factor whose presence disrupts the balance of the three doshas resulting in many pathological and physiological disturbances in our body. It is considered as a toxin product, due to the improper functioning of Agni inside the body. So, Ama is a toxin responsible for formation of all diseases. Ayurvedic practitioners employ various methods, including dietary regulations, herbal remedies, and detoxification techniques, to remove Ama and restore health. Understanding Ama's role provides insight into preventive healthcare and holistic well-being, emphasizing the importance of digestion and metabolism in maintaining overall health.
