Ayurvedic Protocol
How to clear ama, rebuild the 7-tissue chain, and resolve kapha accumulation — including lipomas — through digestive fire.

Weak Agni at step 1 passes ama-laced nutrition through all 4 upstream tissues before hitting Medas. Fat tissue is the most kapha dhatu — it holds ama rather than flushing it. Fix Agni at the source or you're just cleaning downstream rooms while the mess stays at the front door.
Build Agni
Same meal times dailyAgni pre-secretes on your rhythm
Biggest meal at lunchSolar peak = Agni peak
Ginger + rock salt + lemon10 min before every meal
Kapalabhati + BhastrikaPranayama fans Manipura directly
Walk after mealsOr Vajrasana (sit on heels)
Sleep on left sideAids overnight digestion
Eat This
KitchariMung dal + rice + ghee + cumin/turmeric/ginger
Moong dal soupsAny form, well-spiced
Cooked leafy greensGinger and garlic
Warm oatmealCinnamon + cardamom. Not cold.
Sautéed vegMustard seeds, cumin, turmeric
Warm water onlySip throughout day
Kill Agni
Eating when not hungryBiggest Agni killer. Period.
Snacking between mealsInterrupts Agni mid-cycle
Cold food or drinksLiterally douses the flame
OvereatingEven healthy food overwhelms
Stress eatingMental + physical ama together
Incompatible combosFruit with meals, milk with savory
Trikatu
Ginger + Black Pepper + Long Pepper — most potent Agni kindler
Take ¼ to ½ tsp with warm water or honey before meals. Start small — very heating. In Texas summer heat, reduce dose. Honey is the classical carrier for kapha/ama. Long pepper (Pippali) drives herbs deep into tissues — that's what makes this penetrate Medas, not just the gut.
Daily protocol by time of day

Don't eat until genuinely hungry
Midday
Peak Digestion

Biggest meal of the day here
Kitchari or well-spiced food
10–15 min walk after
No snacking after
Evening
Wind Down
Light dinner by 6–7pm max
Soups, moong dal, cooked veg
Ginger tea after dinner
Nothing after 7pm
Sandhyavandana as mental reset
Night
Let Agni Complete
Sleep on left side
IF window continues the work
Agni burns ama backlog while fasted
Early sleep — 10pm ideal
No screens — Pitta aggravation
Layered sequence for lipoma resolution — do in order, don't skip steps
Fix the foundation (weeks 1–6)
Meal timing, food quality, pranayama. Everything downstream is useless if Agni is still weak.
Add Trikatu before every meal
Once routine is locked. Adds metabolic heat to burn through years of ama backlog.
Kanchnar Guggulu
Classical formula for growths and Medas accumulation. Only add once Agni is strong. See practitioner for dosing.
Panchakarma — Vamana or Virechana
For hundreds of lipomas this is the real firepower. Deep systemic clearing. Requires an Ayurvedic physician.
Mental Ama (Manas Ama) — don't skip this
Unprocessed stress and chronic anxiety create ama just like food does. Running multiple businesses means this is real for you. Sandhyavandana, pranayama, and consistent sleep are as critical as diet. You can't out-protocol a stressed nervous system.
