As we have seen ama accrues and toxins build up whenever agni is low, enabling various factors to aggravate the Doshas. As agni is the principle of metabolism and exists in every tissue, organ, channel and cell it has a potent effect on the Doshas. Ideally all the types of agni mentioned above function together harmoniously. If not the Ama can affect any of the doshas and how the doshic derangement presents itself is altered by the presence of ama. Doshic imbalance with or without ama Determining whether a doshic imbalance is mixed with ama (sama) or is without ama (nirama) is an important distinction in presentation of imbalance. When ama is present, it must first be addressed in order to correct the doshic imbalance. Otherwise, treatment will be unsuccessful. Vata Sama Vata

Assessment of Ama One of the primary ways to determine how our body is affected by ama is to monitor the coating on our tongue. This will indicate to us whether or not the diet that we are eating in balancing or causing our bodies stress. Using the chart below you can determine the amount of ama that is accumulating in your system. Table of Tongue Surface Coatings SURFACE COATING CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Thin White Normal (unless a change for the individual, in which cause it represents new ama) White, thin, slippery External ama (undigested food) White, thick, slippery Weak digestion resulting in ama in stomach and small intestines White, thin, dry, pale body Vata blowing out the Agni and creating ama and weakness White, thick, and wet Ama due to low agni White, thick and dry Ama and pitta from body’s attempts to burn out ama White like powder Toxic Ama Yellow or pale yellow Pitta ama Yellow, slippery, greasy Pitta from body’s attempts ot burn out ama Bilateral yellow stripes Pitta excess in liver and gallbladder (ranjaka pitta) Gray or Black Vata’s coldness affecting the Agnis Marmani in relation to ama and agni Marma are the doors of perception they require functional clarity, integrity and synchronization with each other. When ama builds up and they are clouded their crucial role of communication between organs and bod regions and between the individual and the external world is impaired
