ABSTRACT
Grahani is the adhisthana of Agni, it is called as Grahani as it holds the Ahara (food).It is situated above the umbilicus and is strengthened by the power of Agni. Normally it holds up the food till it is digested and releases after ahara pachana (digestion of food), but when the Agni bala is reduced, Grahani releases the ingested food even in apakva avastha.This condition is termed as Grahani Roga.
