About Agni Assessment:
Agni (digestive fire) is central to Ayurvedic health. This assessment evaluates the strength and quality of your digestive capacity through multiple parameters.
The voice is analysed on this device. Each stage removes a kind of noise that carries no information about the voice; only the resulting measurements are sent for the Ayurvedic swara mapping.

This measurement provides supportive data and must be interpreted together with traditional palpation by a qualified practitioner. Recent meals, emotions, physical activity, caffeine and medication affect readings. An irregular rhythm flagged here is a screening observation and needs ECG confirmation.

The Srotas (рд╕реНрд░реЛрддрд╕) are channels or pathways through which tissues, nutrients, doshas, and waste products flow. Understanding srotas is essential for diagnosis and treatment in Ayurveda.

Marma (рдорд░реНрдо) are vital anatomical points where muscles, bones, joints, vessels, ligaments, and nerves converge. Injury to these points can cause severe pain, disability, or death. Therapeutically, gentle pressure or massage on marmas influences prana (life force), channels (srotas), and doshas.
Techniques:
Precautions: Never apply deep pressure on Sadya Pranahara marmas. Avoid marma therapy in pregnancy, acute inflammation, bleeding disorders, and intoxication.
