A first ayurvedic consultation rarely opens with your symptom. Before that, a practitioner asks about sleep, digestion and appetite, three ordinary seeming questions that already sketch a dosha pattern and the state of agni, the digestive fire Ayurveda tracks closely. This piece walks through why the order matters and what to notice in the week before you come.
Fall digestion that swings from ravenous to uninterested is not random. Ayurveda reads it as vishama agni, an irregular digestive fire tied to the season rather than one meal, and works with it through diet, Virechana and a full consultation.
