Kitchen Medicine Cooking Medicine: Fasting in Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine Ayurveda on Fasting Ayurveda believes that light fasting can greatly benefit the way you feel. Light fasting healthfully stimulates the digestive fire (called Agni in Sanskrit), which in turn more efficiently burns your body's fuel, producing less toxic waste (called Ama in Sanskrit). Good sleep, good digestion, and good elimination equals good health. * Good sleep is essential for restoration and repair of tissues and the mind. * Good digestion is how we extract nutrients from food. * Good elimination is vital for both the immune system and for clearing the body of toxic waste.
