Improper dietary habits like adhyashan, ajinashana, Guru-Snigdha ahar atisevan, and Madhur rasatisevan lead to overload for digestion on agni causing Agnimandya giving rise to the formation of Ama-pradhan ahar rasa (reactive antigenic factor). This Ama accumulates into various srotasas in the body according to Kha-vaigunya causing srotorodha and further disturbing the dhatvagni parinamana process and may lead to a variety of diseases like Jwara, Atisaar, Arsha, Grahani, Kushtha. Kutaja is a beneficial herb in Ayurveda for treating diseases mainly occurring due to Aam-utapatti. Kutajarishta, Kutajaghana Vati and Kutaja churna has commonly used formulations. It has Tikta rasa, Katu vipaka and sheeta virya with laghu and Ruksha guna (properties). Tikta rasa has the property to reach sukshma srotas in the body due to Vata and Akash Mahabhoota as predominant elements and Ruksha guna absorbs the Aam inside srotas which relieves srototrodh resulting in samprapti bhanga of disease.
