The practical approach of the Agni in Āyurvda as a medical therapy is utilization in treatment. Agni reflects the status of the disease sthaulya, which matters to success of the treatment. In sthaulya samprapti, agni is vitiated which creates imbalance in dhatu specially formation of meda dhatu in excess.
