Agni- is an important concept in ayurveda. It is regarded as the digestive fire present in all cells.
Ayurveda considers digestion takes place not only at Gastro-intestinal tract but also at each cellular level. thus anexample of a person who might feel hungry very fast but he still remains overweight.

Agni is also regarded to be digestive Enzymes, Hormones and also emotions and all transformation processes in our body.
