Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ama?

Ama literally means 'undigested' in Sanskrit. It refers to metabolic toxins created when Agni (digestive fire) is too weak to fully process food. Ama is sticky, heavy, and foul-smelling. It accumulates in channels and tissues, blocking nutrient flow and causing disease.

How can I tell if I have Ama?

Classic signs include: thick white/yellow coating on tongue, persistent fatigue, joint stiffness, brain fog, bad breath, bloating after meals, dull skin, low immunity, and foul-smelling stools. This assessment evaluates all these markers.

How do I reduce Ama?

Key strategies: strengthen Agni with digestive spices (ginger, pepper, cumin), eat warm cooked food, avoid leftovers and processed food, practice intermittent fasting, drink warm water, and follow the Ama reduction protocol in your results.
