[[Grahani Chikitsa]] is one of the most important chapters of this compendium because most of the diseases originate from disorders of digestion. This chapter is described after ''arsha roga'' (hemorrhoids) because pathophysiology of ''arsha'' influences ''agni'' and before [[Panduroga Chikitsa]] because ''grahani roga'' influences ''panduroga''. The initial portion of this chapter discusses the details of the physiological process of digestion and metabolism in human body. ''Agni'', being the fundamental factor in maintaining health and in producing diseases, has been described in detail. The chapter begins with explanation of importance of normally functioning ''agni'' and then goes on to explain the various aspects of digestion, metabolism and tissue nourishment.
