Sama Agni

Balanced metabolism; tridoshic; state of perfect health where any reasonable quantity and quality of food is digested without adverse symptoms

Sama Agni (Balanced Metabolism)

When all the doshas are in balance according to the constitution, agni maintains its state of equilibrium and provides a balanced metabolism. Such a person digests any reasonable quantity and quality of food without adverse signs and symptoms. This is the state of perfect health.

Neither food, season nor habit upsets these people with the gift of sama agni. They are blessed with good health and a long life. They have a calm, quiet, loving mind and great clarity of awareness and bliss.

Stable health, surplus ojas, tejas and prana, and good immunity are the virtues of this agni condition.
