HELLO CHAITANYA,
You are describing -constant hunger (even after eating a lot) -stomach not cleaning in the morning (incomplete stool, sometimes very little) -can’t sleep at all (day or night) -feeling empty in the head, no sense of satisfaction
This looks like a disturbance of digestive fire and imbalance in vata + pitta dosha -When agni is irregular, food is not digested fully -> this creates a false hunger - Vata imbalance leads to irregular bowel movement and restlessness (no sleep) - Pitta imbalance can increase hunger and heat in the body- mind. -Together, this makes you feel empty unsatisfied , and restless
TREATMENT GOALS -Normalise digestive fire- so food is digested properly, real hunger is felt, and satisfaction comes -regulate bowel movement- ensure proper evacuation in the morning -Calm mind and restore sleep=balance vata disturbance - Re establish routine= so body and mind get stability -Prevent complications
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =gently cleanses bowel
2) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp before meals with warm water =balances pitta, reduces hyperacidity, regulates hunger
3) BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab at night =for calming mind, improving sleep
4) JEERAKADI VATI= 2 tabs after lunch and dinner =for digestion and bloating
LIFESTYLE CHANGES -fix meal timimngs-> avoid eating every few minutes, try 3 main meals + 1-2 snacks -avoid daytime sleep-> worsens digestion and insomnia - keep a night ritual (oil massage to soles of feet, warm shower, herbal tea, dim lights) -reduce screen time at night (stimulates vata and pitta)
HOME REMEDIES -drink warm cumin-fennel-coriander tea after meals -soak 5 raisins overnight and eat in morning with the water-> mild laxative -warm ghee with milk at bedtime-> improves bowel and sleep -chew ajwain+ black salt if feeling heavy
YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana - gas relieving pose -vajrasana after meals -balasana
PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= balances vata and pitta -Bhramari= calms mind for sleep -avoid kapalbhati for now

Your condition is not just “stomach not cleaning”- it’s. a system-wide imbalance. Ayurveda’s focus will be -strengthen digestion -clear the bowel naturally -calm the nervous system -restore routine and rest
This needs patience and consistency. Medicines + routine + food habits together work better than only one thing.

Your situation suggests an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas, often linked with excessive hunger, digestive issues, and sleeplessness. Uncontrolled appetite, an unregulated digestive system, and sleeplessness could indicate hyperactivity of “Agni” or digestive fire, paired with Vata causing an irregular digestion and sleep pattern. Addressing this requires a multifaceted approach.
Firstly, ensure you follow regular mealtimes. Eating scheduled meals helps stabilize Agni, your digestive fire. Try incorporating small quantities of ginger and rock salt before meals to ignite Agni and regularize your appetite. Eating every five minutes might indicate that your body isn’t properly digesting or absorbing the food. Focus on balanced meals containing all six tastes: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Favor grounding and nourishing foods — such as whole grains, cooked vegetables, and lentils. Avoid cold foods and overly spicy or fried foods that can exacerbate Pitta.
For improved digestion and bowel movement, have a glass of warm water with lemon upon waking. Intake of Triphala churna, a well-known Ayurvedic formulation, before bed can aid in cleansing the digestive tract. You may start with 1 tsp mixed in warm water. Stay hydrated with warm water throughout the day to assist digestion.
For sleep issues and mental emptiness, practice Abhyanga (self-oil massage) using sesame oil, which pacifies Vata. Spend 15 minutes massaging gently before a warm bath. Meditating or practicing Yoga Nidra before bed could also soothen Vata and promote restful sleep. Ensure your sleeping environment is calming, with dim lights and minimized electronics exposure before bed. Avoid stimulants like caffeine post-afternoon to prevent further sleep disruption.
If these measures don’t improve your condition, it may be prudent to seek a consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider to rule out underlying issues. Your current symptoms are significant and require a careful evaluation to ensure effective treatment.
Start with Tablet livomyn 1-0-1 after food with water Brahmi vati 1-0-1 after food with water Take Isabgol powder (plain) 2tsp. In a glass (500ml.)of water 1/2 hr. Before meals. Take 3 times in a day Triphala juice 20 ml twice after food with warm water Drink warm water through out the day. Brisk walking atleast 45 minutes during the day.
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, which include excessive hunger, difficulty with bowel movements, and a feeling of emptiness or lack of sensation, here is a general Ayurvedic perspective. Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, the symptoms you’ve described could be related to an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata Dosha: Vata is associated with movement, and a disturbed Vata can lead to irregular bowel movements, a feeling of emptiness, and an erratic digestive fire (Agni). When Vata is high, it can create a feeling of ungroundedness and instability, which might manifest as the “emptiness” you feel in your mind and the constant need to eat.
Pitta Dosha: Pitta governs metabolism and digestion. An imbalanced Pitta can lead to excessive hunger, or Tikshnagni (a very sharp digestive fire). This can cause you to feel hungry shortly after eating, as the food is burned through too quickly without proper nourishment being absorbed.
Possible Causes According to Ayurveda Tikshnagni (Sharp Digestive Fire): This is a state where the digestive fire is too strong, leading to rapid digestion of food but poor absorption of nutrients. This can cause a feeling of constant hunger.
Vata Imbalance: The feeling of emptiness and the irregular bowel movements are classic signs of aggravated Vata. Stress, lack of a routine, and an improper diet can all contribute to this.
Ama (Toxins): When digestion is weak or imbalanced, undigested food can accumulate in the colon, leading to toxins called “Ama.” This Ama can block channels (Srotas) and prevent proper elimination, contributing to the constipation and the feeling of a “not-cleaned” stomach.
General Ayurvedic Recommendations (Not a Prescription)
Dietary Adjustments:
Favor Vata-Pitta Pacifying Foods: Focus on warm, cooked, nourishing, and grounding foods. This includes root vegetables, grains like rice and wheat, and healthy fats like ghee.
Avoid Vata-Aggravating Foods: Reduce intake of dry, cold, and raw foods. This includes salads, cold drinks, and crackers.
Use Spices: Incorporate digestive spices like ginger, cumin, coriander, and fennel in your cooking. These help to balance the digestive fire and improve absorption.
Lifestyle and Routine:
Dinacharya (Daily Routine): Establish a regular routine for waking up, eating, and sleeping. A consistent schedule helps to pacify Vata.
Meditation and Pranayama: Practices like meditation and deep breathing exercises (Pranayama) can help to calm the mind and reduce the feeling of emptiness.
Herbal Support (Under Professional Guidance):
1) Triphala churna -1tsf with warm water at bed time
This is a classic Ayurvedic formulation for bowel health. It is known for its mild laxative properties and its ability to clean you stomach.
2) ashwagandharishta + sarasvatarishta- 20 ml 2 times a day after food
Ghee: Consuming a small amount of warm ghee can help to lubricate the digestive tract and pacify Vata
Hello Chaitanya, Your symptoms of excessive hunger, incomplete evacuation of stool, sleeplessness, and mental emptiness point to a disturbance of Agni (digestive fire) and Vata-Pitta imbalance in Ayurveda. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊
Excessive hunger despite frequent eating often suggests Vishama Agni (irregular digestion) or conditions like Atyagni (overactive digestive fire).
Stomach not cleaned in morning indicates Ama (toxin formation) and sluggish colon function.
✅POSSIBLE REASON Irregular lifestyle, overeating, or eating heavy-to-digest foods. Excessive intake of spicy, sour, fried food. Anxiety or stress disturbing nervous system. Gut dysbiosis (imbalance of gut bacteria) → improper absorption.
✅ AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
☑️ Dietary Guidance Take 3 balanced meals only, avoid continuous snacking. Include moong dal khichdi, lauki, ridge gourd, pumpkin, rice, ghee – they soothe digestion. Avoid tea, coffee, fried, spicy food, junk, refined flour, excess curd. Drink warm water or cumin-fennel-coriander seed water to balance digestion. Do not eat late at night.
☑️ INTERNAL MEDICATION
1 Avipattikar Churna 1 tsp with warm water before breakfast and dinner – balances Pitta, improves digestion, relieves excessive hunger & acidity.
2 Triphala Churna 1 tsp with warm. Water at bedtime – for proper bowel clearance.
3 Brahmi capsules 1-0-1 after food – to calm nervous system, reduce emptiness & improve sleep.
4 Manasa syrup 10ml-10ml-10ml after food
☑️ LIFESTYLE AND ROUTINE
👉Fix meal timings – breakfast around 8 am, lunch at 1 pm, dinner before 8 pm.
👉Practice deep breathing (Anulom Vilom, Sheetali pranayama) to cool excess Pitta.
👉Oil massage (Abhyanga) with sesame or coconut oil before bath – calms Vata.
👉Regular sleep cycle – avoid screens late night, have warm milk with nutmeg/turmeric before bed.
☑️ Healing Outlook
With proper routine, digestion and bowel clearance improve in 4–6 weeks.
Hunger stabilizes once Agni is balanced.
Sleep quality also improves gradually with mind-calming herbs and routine.
Your problem is mainly due to Agni imbalance + Vata-Pitta disturbance. Ayurveda helps by: 👉Balancing hunger & digestion (Avipattikar, Triphala). 👉Improving bowel clearance. 👉Calming mind & improving sleep (Brahmi). With the right diet and herbal support, your system can regain balance in a few weeks.
Wish yoy a good health😊

The symptoms you’re describing seem to indicate an imbalance in your doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, which may be affecting your digestion and nervous system. The increased hunger alongside ineffective elimination can be frustrating but addressing the root cause can help balance your bodily systems.
First, let’s address the uncontrolled hunger. It often relates to heightened Pitta, causing excessive Agni or digestive fire. Start by balancing your Pitta with a Pitta-pacifying diet. Focus on foods that are cooling, hydrating, and mildly sweet such as cucumbers, melons, and dairy like milk. Avoid spicy, sour, and overly salty foods as they can increase Pitta further.
Since you mentioned poor digestion, ensuring your Agni is balanced is crucial. Use digestive aids like a pinch of ginger with a bit of rock salt taken 20 minutes before meals, which may help regulate digestive abilities. But be cautious not to use too much, so it doesn’t overheat your system.
Constipation or incomplete evacuation points towards a Vata imbalance, which can be alleviated by including warm, cooked meals. Use sesame oil for cooking or lightly massage it onto your abdomen to relax your intestines. Trifala, an ayurvedic natural herbal remedy, can be taken at night with warm water to support gentle colon cleansing.
Additionally, supporting your mind and sleep with a daily routine of grounding activities like yoga or walking, and ensuring you reduce stimulating activities like screen time before bed is beneficial. Consume a warm glass of milk with a pinch of nutmeg and cardamom before sleeping for calming benefits.
If symptoms persist, and as always, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure there are no underlying conditions needing immediate attention. An imbalance like this affecting sleep and digestion should be assessed more thoroughly by an experienced practitioner.
