About Ama
Ama is a toxin that is created within the digestive system in response to
poor digestion. When agni (digestive re) is not adequate, food remains
undigested and unabsorbed in the intestinal tract, resulting in ama. Even
wholesome foods convert into ama when agni is de cient.

AMA sanjanam sa labhate siro gatra ruja karah
The essence of food which is not well digested and which
accumulates inside the body is known as AMA, it produces
disease of the head and body
(BP/Madhyama . )
In the digestive system, ama obstructs the colon preventing it to extract
prana (vital force) from the digested food. The prolonged presence of ama
in the system generates toxins, which are released into the bloodstream,
traveling to a weakened part of the body. At this stage, disease could
manifest.
When these symptoms of ama are noticed, they may be removed by a
thorough cleansing of the bodily systems. Also seasonal Panchakarma is
recommended if suitable for the person.
