Amam
In Ayurveda, the Sanskrit word Amam denotes internal toxins that cause disease. Amam is a product of improper metabolic functioning whereby the system absorbs micro-molecules of undigested foods. It is greasy and mucous and blocks various subtle body channels (Srotas). Its accumulation causes imbalance among the three humours (Tridoshas) ultimately leading to various diseases and health problems.
