How to reduce inflation in the body - #25927

HELLO MANISHA,

Symptoms= chronic constipation, incomplete bowel movements, gastric issues, irritable bowels, AND stress- your condition seems multi systemic but strongly rooted in gut imbalance, which is central in Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda, your symptoms point toward an imbalanced vata and pitta dosha -Constipation and incomplete evacuation-> indicative of aggravated Vata dosha in colon. -Gas -> also vata, sometimes combined with pitta if there’s burning or irritation. - stress-> vata and pitta both impact the nervous system, chronic stress dries out the system and weakens digestion.

ROOT CAUSE IN AYURVEDA,

Agni Mandya(weak digestive fire) + vata- vyatha(disturbed apana vata) - Due to poor dietary habits, irregular lifestyle, stress, and toxin buildup, your digestive fire is low leading to - incomplete digestion - accumulated toxins - blockage of channels - irritated skin and scalp due to poor liver and blood detox
