Ayurveda

Congestion (Ama) and Bio-Fire (Agni)

These two lessons are found on Pages 29 to 33 

Congestion (Ama)

By the end of this lesson you will be able to:

  1. Know how to recognize congestion in each constitution and what steps to take to relieve it.
  2. Prevent congestion by building good bio-fire.

These concepts may be challenging for you, but they are well worth learning, since they are important to the diagnostic and healing work you will be doing. 

There are no exercises for this lesson.  Instead, consult the quiz information at the end of the section on Bio-fire.

Bio-Fire (Agni)

The section on Agni is found at the bottom of Page 32 and the top of Page 33. When you read this section, you will know that Agni is a Sanskrit term for bio-fire. In this lesson, you will learn that a strong bio-fire can prevent Ama (congestion).

Quiz

Following is another Quiz. As we mentioned before, a good indicator as to how you are doing in learning the concepts presented is to take a test.  The quizzes in this course are for you to use for your own purposes.  Only you will see the score results.  The quizzes are accessible from the Assignment Review at the end of most sections.

Assignment Review:

  1. Read the section about Congestion (Pages 29 to 32).
  2. Read the section about Bio-Fire (bottom of Pages 32, and Page 33).
  3. Do the combined Quiz for the sections on Congestion and Bio-Fire.
