Parthiva Agni: Earth Element Fire
Parthiva agni is the fire component of the Earth element. At the cellular level, it governs mineral regulation. It yields the qualities of heavy, dull, static, hard, gross, and dense from the foods and thoughts we consume. Parthiva agni transforms the prithvi (Earth) element of food into biological Earth element, working with dhatu agni at the tissue level and pilu agni at the cell membranes.
