Viṣamāgni (विषमाग्नि).—One of the four states of Jāṭharāgni (digestive system);—The word Viṣama means irregular. Viṣamāgni digests the food properly at times, and not so at other times. Viṣamāgni is influenced by vāta-doṣa and hence is unpredictable in nature. When the food is not properly digested, it produces flatulence, colic pain, heaviness, upward movement of vāyu, diarrhea, heaviness, and gurgling sound in the abdomen and tenesmus. If a person suffers from these discomforts even after consuming regular and measured food, then the agni is thought to be Viṣamāgni.
