Abstract
A healthy gut plays a critical role in the growth and development of children, influencing everything from physical health to brain function. In Ayurved, gut health and Agni (digestive fire) are deeply interconnected. In Ayurveda, the concept of Agni (digestive fire) is central to overall health. A strong Agni ensures proper digestion, assimilation, and elimination. When Agni is impaired, it leads to the accumulation of Ama (toxins), which obstructs the proper nourishment of bodily tissues (Dhatus). Snehapaan, when appropriately used, nourishes the body, mind, and immunity of children, preparing them for lifelong wellness. This review is an attempt to enlighten the role of Agni Vardhan due Snehapaan in growth and development of children.
