Agni is an important vital entity in Ayurveda. It is called vital because its absence indicates death. Any fluctuation in the strength of agni leads to imbalances in the level of doshas, dhatus and malas which are the building blocks of the body. Thus agni is an indispensable for Ayu (life) of any individual. In the physical body, Agni is involved in the process of Paka (पाकः । Digestion and transformation). Different Ayurvedic texts mention that Agni is Pitta (पित्तम्), one of the [[Doshas (दोषाः)|tridoshas]] (त्रिदोषाणि) of the human body, which are vata (वातः), pitta (पित्तम्) and kapha (कफः).
