Planet Ayurveda Agnitundi Vati – Ayurvedic Medicine for Strong Digestion & Metabolism

ABSTRACT

In the present era, digestive disorders such as Agnimandya (a weakened digestive fire) are prevalent across all age groups, resulting from impaired digestive fire (Agni) that leads to toxin accumulation (Ama) and complications like fever associated with indigestion (Amajvara). Ayurveda attributes these to Vata and Kapha dosha aggravation with channel obstruction and metabolic disturbances. Agnitundi Vati, a classical herbo-mineral formulation, features Ushna (hot potency), Tikshna (penetrating action), Lekhana (scraping), and Deepana (appetizer) properties to effectively balance both doshas, kindle digestive fire, and eliminate Ama (endotoxins). It comprises equal proportions of purified minerals, alkaline ashes, salts, and select herbs triturated with citrus fruit juice for enhanced efficacy. A detailed overview of this formulation follows.

INTRODUCTION

Agnitundi Vati is a potent herbo-mineral formulation renowned for igniting digestive fire and alleviating agnimandya (weak digestion) along with its complications. The name “Agnitundi” signifies its thunderbolt-like (tundi) action on Agni (fire), combining purified mercury, sulfur, aconite, alkaline ashes, salts, borax, and select herbs triturated in lemon juice for profound ama endotoxins clearance and vitality restoration. Primarily indicated for weak digestion, bloating, indigestion-related fevers, and toxin-mediated symptoms, it promotes robust gut health and metabolic harmony.

This preparation acts on annavaha srotas (digestive channels), addressing ama (endotoxins) buildup, jatharagni (digestive fire) impairment, and dosha vitiation. It effectively dispels anorexia, abdominal discomfort, fever due to indigestion (amajvara), and vata-kapha imbalances. By scraping channel obstructions, balancing Vata and Kapha doshas, and rejuvenating without aggravating Pitta, Agnitundi Vati serves as a key remedy for digestive debility and associated systemic issues.

METHOD OF PREPARATION

Agnitundi Vati is prepared using the classical Kharaliya Rasayana (trituration method) in a Khalva Yantra (mortar-pestle). First, equal parts (1 part each) of Shuddha Parada (Purified mercury), Shuddha Vatsanabha (Purified Aconitum ferox), Shuddha Gandhaka (Purified sulphur), Ajamoda (Apium graveolens fruit), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula pericarp), Bibhitaka (Terminalia bellirica pericarp), Amalaki (Emblica officinalis pericarp), Sajji Kshara (Sodium carbonate), Yava Kshara (Barley ash), Vahni/Chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica root), Saindhava Lavana (Rock salt), Shveta Jiraka (Cuminum cyminum fruit), Sauvarchala Lavana (Black salt), Vidanga (Embelia ribes fruit), Samudra Lavana (Sea salt), and Shuddha Tankana (Purified borax) are blended with 16 parts Shuddha Vishamushti (Purified Strychnos nux-vomica seeds). The mixture undergoes repeated bhavana (trituration) with Jambira (Citrus lemon) rasa (juice) – Quantity Sufficient (Q.S.) until the attainment of scraping test (laja bhavat), forming a smooth, blackish pill dough. Finally, 125-250 mg vati (tablets) are rolled, dried in shade, and stored airtight to preserve potent herbo-mineral synergy without involving agni samskara (incineration).

MEDICINAL PROPERTIES

  • Agnitundi Vati pairs best with lime juice (Nimbu swarasa) and warm water (Ushnodaka) as anupana (adjuvant) for optimal Vata-Kapha shamaka (pacifying) effects, igniting jatharagni (gastric fire), relieving Aruchi (anorexia), and restoring vitality through deepana (appetizer) and pachana (digestive) actions.
  • For Agnimandya (Impaired Digestion) Management, administer Agnitundi Vati (125-250 mg twice daily) with Hingvashtak Churna (1 g), reducing Adhmana (bloating) and Gaurava (heaviness) via enhanced ama pachana (toxin digestion) and vata anulomana (downward movement) synergy.
  • In cases of Amajvara (Ama-associated Fever), Agnitundi Vati is used alongside Guduchyadi Kashaya (40 ml), a potent jwaraghna (anti-pyretic) for Jvara and Daurbalya (weakness), boosting agni deepana (fire kindling) and ama shodhana (toxin clearance) properties.
  • In conditions associated with Ajirna (Indigestion) & Vibandha (Constipation), Agnitundi Vati works best with Abhayarishta (15-30 ml with warm water), aiding srotas shodhana (channel cleansing) and mala pravritti (bowel movement) by balancing Vata-Kapha and promoting dhatu poshana (tissue nourishment) for sustained digestive harmony.

IMPACT OF DOSHA

Agnitundi Vati primarily pacifies Vata (cold, dry qualities causing colic, bloating, impaired motility) and Kapha (heavy, sticky traits leading to sluggish digestion, ama accumulation, anorexia) through its ushna (heating), tikshna (sharp), and lekhana (scraping) actions that kindle jatharagni (digestive fire) and clear obstructed srotas (channels). It mildly balances Pitta via alkaline and rasayana components, preventing hyperacidity or inflammation aggravation while supporting metabolic harmony in toxin-mediated fevers. Ideal for Vata-Kapha dominant Agnimandya (weak digestive fire) and its complications.

INDICATIONS

  • Sluggish digestion (Agnimandya)
  • Indigestion-associated fever (Amajvara)
  • Anorexia (Aruchi)
  • Abdominal bloating (Adhmana)
  • Flatulence and belching (Pavana-Udgara)
  • Abdominal colic (Udara Shula)

  • Intestinal worms (Krimi)
  • Vata-Kapha disorders
  • Digestive debility
  • Toxin-mediated weakness (Ama Daurbalya)
  • Poor appetite with fatigue

DOSAGE

  • 125-250 mg – once or twice daily, after meals for agnimandya (impaired digestion) and amajvara (toxin fever).

Raktapittakulkuthar Ras – Ayurvedic Remedy for Bleeding Disorders

bleeding disorders

ABSTRACT

Processed spicy-salty foods, pollution-induced heat, winter dryness, chronic stress, and vitamin K-deficient diets fuel the surge in Raktapitta cases nowadays, triggering sudden, profuse bleeding from body openings such as the nose (epistaxis), mouth (hematemesis), urine (hematuria), and rectum without any injury. People consume too many pungent, sour, and hot items, push their bodies with overwork and heat exposure, and endure constant emotional pressure, all of which stir up Pitta dosha fiercely. This aggravated Pitta then poisons the Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) right at its source in the spleen and liver (Pliha-Yakrit), sparking a rapid, burning hemorrhage that ancient sages labeled a Mahagada—a major killer. Ayurveda offers many medications along with lifestyle modifications for these disorders. Raktpittakulkuthar ras is one of the best Ayurvedic herbomineral formulations for bleeding disorders. Let’s know about this formulation in detail.
