<p style='text-align:justify;'>The term bhutagni (also spelled as ‘bhootagni’) is derived from two words: bhuta and agni and the word bhuta indicates five fundamental elements ([[mahabhuta]]). [[Agni]] means the factors responsible for digestion and metabolism. The human body is formed from five primordial elements. It naturally needs food for all these elements growth and development. Each of these elements needs bhutagni for their digestion and absorption. For example food containing parthiva part (earth element) is digested by parthivagni (bhutagni, which outlines [[prithvi]] elements of the food). Bhutagni is present in the gastrointestinal tract at the level of tissues in respective channels. [Cha.Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 15/12-14]

<br/>Bhutagni is present in a fundamental element ([[mahabhuta]]). Each cell (dhatu paramanu) consists of these five fundamental elements ([[panchamahabhuta]]). All the nutrients we eat also consist of the same five elements with their respective [[agni]]. Five bhutagni digest their part of the element present in the food materials. After the digestion of food by bhutagni, digested materials containing elements and qualities similar to each bhuta nourish its bhautika element of the body. This article describes the actions of bhutagni, its role in digestion and metabolism.

Pachakagni (jatharagni) acts upon it. Passage of the gastric digest (acidified chyme) to adha amasaya (ksudranta) resulting in the discharge, in this place of acchapitta and its action on chyme. This results in the separation as Sara and Kitta. Sara representing the ultimate elemental forms of the food ingested. Described on the basis of their physicochemical qualities (vijatiya). Formation of Kitta happens in pakvashaya where separation of substances meant to be eliminated through urine (mutra), stools (purisha) take place. Formation of mala rupa vayu with pungent and disagreable odour and the production of substances required for the five vayus (pindikarana)
