The digestive fire (Jatharagni) is located in the stomach area and normal activity is essential for the proper and complete digestion of food. It is responsible for all the metabolic processes and assists growth & maintains energy level. So it is very important to maintain Agni. Chakra Basti takes out the emotional and physical stress or imbalance at stomach and balances the digestive fire and improves the process of digestion.
