Abstract: The aim of Ayurveda focuses on maintaining normal health. The primary approach of Ayurveda encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Ama is a pathological condition, which occurs due to the improper functioning of Agni; Ama is considered as a main causative factor in various diseases. Ama is produced due to the improper digestion of the food particle and due to the accumulation of mala, which is considered Pratham doshadusti. (First vitiation of dosha) proper diagnosis requires complete knowledge of disease causative factors; Ama is one of the entities which is considered responsible for many diseases like; Sthaulya (obesity), Tamaka shwasa (Bronchial Asthma) Grahani roga (irritable bowel syndrome) and Amavata (Rheumatoid arthritis), etc. This Ama produces Ama dosha in which Tridosha, Dhatus, and Malas become permeated with Ama produced in the Amashaya which results in the generation of various diseases. In this context, we are going to discuss the clinical significance of Ama in various diseases.
