Ayurveda agent

How does Caraka link the seasons to agni and digestion?

Caraka holds that digestive fire shifts with the seasons: agni runs low in the rains as doṣas accumulate, strengthens through autumn, and is strongest in winter — so diet and routine are tuned season by season to protect it.1

The agents

Three agents, three traditions.

Each agent is bound to a specific corpus and answers only from it — so you always know what tradition is speaking.

Caraka · Suśruta

Ayurveda

  • “How is vāta imbalance traditionally treated through diet and daily routine?”
  • “What distinguishes Suśruta’s surgical approach from Caraka’s medical one?”
