''Dehagni'' (all the entities in the body that are responsible for digestion and metabolism) is the fundamental causative agent for longevity, normal complexion, normal strength, good health, motivation, normal growth, normal luster, normal ''ojas'', normal body temperature and various other forms of ''agni''. Even the existence of an individual is said to be because of ''dehagni'' [3]

When the ''agni'' stops functioning, the individual dies; if the ''agni'' functions normally, the individual can lead a healthy and long life. Similarly, if the ''agni'' becomes abnormal, the individual suffers from various diseases; and hence, the ''agni'' is said to be the root cause of health and longevity [4]

The food one consumes becomes capable of nourishing the body tissues and of promoting the ''ojas'' (vital essence), strength, complexion etc., only in the presence of normally functioning ''agni''. In the absence of normal digestion (and metabolism), the normal body tissues such as ''rasa'' cannot be formed nor nourished [5]

The ingested food is carried to ''koshtha'' by ''prana vata''. The food disintegrates because of the liquids, and further it becomes soft because of the fatty substances. The ''samana vata'', that has an inherent ability to intensify the ''agni,'' intensifies the digestive enzymes and properly digests the food that one consumes timely and in an appropriate quantity, thus leading to longevity. This process of digestion by ''agni'' in the gut which leads to the formation of ''rasa'' and ''mala'' is comparable to the process of cooking of the raw rice kept in an earthen vessel containing water on a fire [6-8]

As soon as the food that has all the six tastes is consumed, it undergoes the first stage of digestion known as ''madhura'' (sweet) state during which ''kapha'' is produced which is like froth. Afterwards, while the food undergoing digestion is in its partially digested form, it attains ''amla'' (sour) state.

Specific categories of entities in the body having specific attributes can be nourished by only those substances that belong to the same category having those same attributes. This means that ''parthiva'' entities in the body (one that is dominated by ''prithvi mahabhuta'' in its composition) can be nourished only by the ''parthiva'' substances in the food and so on. The same rule applies to the whole body [14]

Further, the seven components that sustain the body, known as ''dhatu'' (tissues), are metabolized/transformed into two kinds of products known as ''sara'' (nutrition) and ''kitta'' (waste). This process is the function of seven specific entities known as ''dhatvagni''; each ''dhatvagni'' is specific for its corresponding ''dhatu'' [15]

The feces and the urine are the ''kitta'' (non-nutrient portion/waste portion/byproduct) of ingested food. The ''kitta'' of ''rasa'' is ''mala-kapha'' (excretions). ''Mala-pitta'' (bile pigment) is the ''kitta'' of ''rakta''. ''Kha-mala'' (the wastes accumulated in the hollow structures of the body such as external ears and nostrils) are the ''kitta'' of ''mamsa''. ''Sweda'' (sweat) is the ''mala'' of ''medas''. ''Kesha'' (hairs on the head) and ''loma'' (body hair) are the ''mala'' of ''asthi''. The ''mala'' of ''majja'' is the oily excretion of the eye and the skin (sebum). Thus, the ''dhatus'' continuously undergo two kinds of transformation: ''prasada'' (nutrient portion) and ''kitta'' (non-nutrient portion). This entire sequence of transformation and metabolism of ''dhatu'' is thus inter dependent [18-19½]

The ''sneha'' (fatty) portion of ''majja'' produces shukra. The porosity in the ''asthi'' is produced because of the factors such as ''vata'' and ''akasha.'' ''Shukra'' comes out of ''asthi'' through these pores just as the water comes out of a new earthen vessel. Through the channels known as ''shukravaha srotamsi'', this ''shukra'' spreads all over the body. This ''shukra'' is discharged through the urethra (which is connected to the urinary bladder) because of several factors such as sexual excitation, reflex activities (''vega''), and mental determination (''samkalpa''). Just as the ghee moves out with ease when heated, the ''shukra'' too, is discharged due to the heat liberated during the sexual activity. This process of seminal discharge is comparable with the movement of water from a place of lower altitude to a place of higher altitude) [32-35]

The ''vishamagni'' (improper ''agni'') causes irregularity in digestion and therefore defective formation of ''dhatu'' takes place whereas, ''tikshanagni'' (excessive ''agni'') when associated with little quantity of fuel (in the form of food) causes depletion of ''dhatu'' (tissue elements) [50]

If ''agni'' is ''sama'' i.e. in balanced condition and correct diet regimen (as explained in Ca. Su. 5 and Ca.Vi.1/21) are also followed then there is proper digestion of food which helps in maintaining proper balance within the ''dhatu'' [50½]

''Grahani'' is seat of ''agni'' and it is so called since it holds/retains the food (for proper digestion and assimilation). It holds the food just above the umbilical region and it is supported and nourished by the ''agni''. ''Grahani'' with help of ''agni'' holds the undigested food and pushes forward digested food, but when ''agni'' becomes weak and vitiated due to ''vidagdha ahara murchita dosha'' (afflicted by improperly digested food) i.e ''sama dosha''(''dosha'' associated with ''ama'') it vitiates the ''grahani'' and releases food in the form of ''ama'' i.e. undigested form [56-57]

Buttermilk due to its ''dīpana, grahi'' (substances which increases appetite and digestive power and absorb fluid from the stool) and easy to digest actions is very useful in ''grahanidosha''. It is ''madhura'' in ''vipaka'' therefore reduces ''pitta''; due to ''kashaya'' (astringent) taste, ''ushna virya'' (hot potency), ''vikashi'' and ''ruksha guna'' it is useful in ''kapha'' dominated disorders and due to ''madhura'' and ''amla rasa, sandra guna'' it reduces ''vata''. Freshly churned butter milk does not cause burning sensation; therefore, buttermilk is very useful in treatment of ''udara, arśa'' and all ''grahanidosha'' [117-119]

In the night, the channels are closed, so is the heart which functions at slow rate as demand is less, the ''apakva ahara rasa'' increases in viscosity; thus ''ama'' adheres to the ''dhatus'' and if another food is taken the indigestion causes more ''apakva ahara rasa'' causing disease. The condition resembles, wherein uncooked milk mixed with warm milk gets spoiled. Therefore, a wise person should not take meals if food taken at night is not digested; this will surely effect strength and life of a person [241-243]
