Pls tell from the below mine which doshas r imbalanced. 1)Daily i experience loose stool only once a day (not watery),bloating after eating,frequent hunger,skin problem,i feel cold more , weight gain ,frequent hunger from 5 years. Bloating vanishes after waking up in the morning. 2)Heating medicine reduce bloating, heaviness, increases hunger but loosen motion.on the other hand pitta reducing herbs( giloy,bilwadi) cause sluggish digestion, sticky motion,reduce hunger & skin issue but increases bloating heaviness.So i tried taking panchkol before meal & phaltrikadi after meal for 7 days all my problem vanished but returned after stopping. 3)This problem started when i travelled in car in extreme hot weather in august for 4-5 hours without ac.Now whenever i go out for long in hot i get loosemotions. 4)As summer comes motion becomes loose.On the other hand my motion becomes sticky when winter comes, digestion becomes sluggish,skin problem vanishes.Also once i went to kashmir skin problem vanished,motion became well formed ( justbit sticky),& my body temp. Became normal. 5)I took phaltrikadi for a week in oct my bloating,skin problem reduced ,digestion improved but as winter came this medicine didn't work. 6) On eating kitchari bloating & loose stools vanishes that day.

From an Ayurvedic point of view, your pattern suggests a Tridosha imbalance with shifting dominance: -Pitta aggravation → loose stools in heat, skin problems, sensitivity to hot weather/travel -Kapha involvement → heaviness, bloating, weight gain, sluggish digestion in cold weather -Vata disturbance → bloating, irregular digestion, gas, variability of symptoms —Overall, it indicates weak and unstable Agni (digestive fire) with seasonal fluctuation: -Pitta dominates in summer → loose motions + skin flare -Kapha dominates in winter → sticky stool + heaviness + slow digestion -Vata causes instability and bloating throughout Temporary relief with kitchari and specific formulations suggests the condition is Agni-dependent and functional rather than fixed organ damage, but chronic and fluctuating. –Treatment: 1) tab gasex 1 tab after meal twice daily 2) Aimil Proliv – 2 tab twice daily after food 3) phaltrikadi- Kwath – 10 ml with equal water, after meals 4) drakshasav 10 ml thrice daily after meal –Advice: Light, warm diet (kitchari preferred during flare) Avoid fried, spicy, and heavy foods Regular meal timing Avoid heat exposure

Your pattern shows Vata–Pitta Grahani with seasonal variation (Kapha in winter) due to weak and unstable digestive fire. Ayurvedic treatment: Kutaj Ghan Vati 2 tablets, twice daily after food Panchkol Churna ½ teaspoon before lunch and dinner Triphala Churna 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water Avipattikar Churna ½ teaspoon at night Diet Daily khichdi + ghee best for you Avoid cold drinks, fried, spicy, outside food Eat at fixed timings Duration 4–6 weeks

Your observations strongly suggest a mixed dosha imbalance, mainly involving Pitta + Kapha with disturbed Vata in the intestines. In Ayurveda, this pattern is commonly seen when digestion becomes unstable after excess heat exposure and the gut loses its natural balance. Your Likely Dosha Pattern 1. Pitta Aggravation (Primary Trigger) Signs: Loose stools in summer Frequent hunger Skin issues Symptoms worsen in heat/travel Heating exposure started the problem Relief with cooling climate (like Kashmir) This shows excess Tikshna Pitta affecting the intestines and skin. 2. Kapha Accumulation Signs: Bloating and heaviness after meals Sticky stools in winter Weight gain Sluggish digestion with cooling herbs This indicates Ama + Kapha accumulation in the digestive tract. 3. Vata Disturbance in Gut Signs: Bloating after eating Variable digestion Symptoms changing with season Relief after passing stool or overnight This suggests disturbed Apana and Samana Vata due to long-term digestive imbalance. What Likely Happened? The extreme heat exposure during travel probably aggravated Pitta, weakened the digestive balance, and gradually created a cycle of: Pitta → irritation & loose motions Kapha → heaviness & sticky stools Vata → bloating & irregular digestion So this is not a single dosha problem — it is a season-sensitive Pitta-Kapha disorder with Vata involvement. Important Clues from Your Experience Khichdi helping → confirms weak/irritated digestion needing light food Panchkol + Phaltrikadi helping → shows Ama and digestive channel blockage were reduced Winter worsening heaviness → Kapha dominance Summer worsening loose stool → Pitta dominance Ayurvedic Approach Your body likely needs: Gentle digestive correction, not extreme heating or cooling Seasonal balancing treatment Ama reduction with controlled Pitta management Stable, light, warm, freshly cooked diet Helpful Dietary Principles Prefer warm, light meals Khichdi, moong dal, cooked vegetables work better Avoid fried, very spicy, fermented, cold, and packaged foods Avoid overeating despite strong hunger Maintain regular meal timings

Intially pitta was only imbalanced then bcoz of weak agni everything disturbed

Avipattikar Churna – helps control excess Pitta, acidity, burning tendency, and loose stools related to heat. Dose: ½–1 tsp after lunch and dinner with lukewarm water. • Kutaj Ghan Vati – useful when there is intestinal irritation, loose stool tendency, mucus, or unstable bowel movements. Dose: 1 tablet twice daily after meals. • Arogyavardhini Vati – supports digestion, reduces Ama and Kapha-related heaviness/bloating. Dose: 1 tablet after lunch daily initially. • Takra Vati or Hingwashtak Churna – if bloating and gas are prominent after meals. Dose: small dose after food.
