From an ayurvedic point of view, high heat leads to reduced metabolic activity inside the body and weakens our agni, our digestive power. Although this may seem difficult to understand at first glance, it is also a feat of our inner intelligence.

The word prana comes from Sanskrit and literally means life energy, life force or breath and can be compared conceptually with qi in traditional Chinese medicine.
