Esinye sezici eziyinhloko ze-Ayurveda ukusetshenziswa koketshezi olufudumele. Isayensi yokuphila yaseNdiya igcizelela isidingo sokuphuza amanzi anele nokuwagcina ehlukene nokudla. Ake sibheke ukuthi kungani amanzi abandayo engathandeki ngokombono wefilosofi ye-Ayurvedic. Ngaphambili kwe-Ayurveda umqondo we-Agni, umlilo wokugaya ukudla. I-Agni ingamandla aguqulayo emzimbeni wethu agaya ukudla, imicabango kanye nemizwelo. Izici zayo ukufudumala, ubukhali, ukukhanya, ukucwengwa, ukukhanya nokucaca. Kuyafaneleka ukuphawula futhi ukuthi i-agni ingumlilo futhi impahla yayo eyinhloko ukufudumala.
Umgomo oyinhloko we-Ayurveda uthi "Njengokugqugquzela njengokufana nokwelapha okuphambene". Ngakho, amanzi abandayo enza buthaka amandla e-agni. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, uma udinga ukwandisa umsebenzi womlilo wokugaya ukudla, kunconywa ukuphuza isiphuzo esishisayo, amanzi noma itiye. Ngawo-1980, kwenziwa isifundo esincane kodwa esithakazelisayo. Isikhathi esisithathe ukuze isisu sisuse ukudla sikalwe phakathi kwabahlanganyeli abaphuze amakhaza, izinga lokushisa legumbi, nejusi elolintshi elifudumele. Njengomphumela wokuhlolwa, kwavela ukuthi izinga lokushisa lesisu lehla ngemva kokuthatha ijusi ebandayo futhi kwathatha cishe imizuzu engu-20-30 ukufudumala nokubuyela ekushiseni okujwayelekile. Abacwaningi bathole nokuthi isiphuzo esibandayo sandisa isikhathi sokudla esichithwa esiswini. I-fire agni yokugaya ukudla yayidinga ukusebenza kanzima ukuze igcine amandla ayo futhi igaye ukudla ngendlela efanele. Ngokugcina i-agni eqinile, sigwema ukukhiqizwa kwenani eliningi lobuthi (imfucuza ye-metabolic), okubuye kubangele ukuthuthukiswa kwezifo. Ngakho-ke, ukwenza ukukhetha ngokuthanda iziphuzo ezifudumele, ezinomsoco, maduzane uzobona ukungabikho kokuqunjelwa kanye nobunzima ngemva kokudla, kuyoba namandla engeziwe, ukunyakaza kwamathumbu okuvamile.
