Ah, indigestion and bloating, such an annoying issue! Ayurveda can be pretty helpful here. First thing – let’s think about your agni, or digestive fire. If it’s weak, that might be the root of all this indigestion. You’ve mentioned burping and acidity, which suggests an imbalance in pitta dosha.
Start with your diet. Avoid spicy, oily and very acidic foods like chillies, fried snacks, and pickles. Instead, focus on soothing stuff. Cooked vegetables, especially those like squash and zucchini, are more gentle on the stomach. You should also drink plenty of warm water, not cold or iced.
There’s this quick ginger remedy: take some freshly grated ginger and mix it with a bit of salt. Have this before meals to help boost your agni. Ginger tea is also great to sip on throughout the day. Just don’t overdo it. Too much heat could mean more acidity.
Also, give a shot at Triphala, a classic Ayurvedic remedy for digestion. You can take it at night, about half a teaspoon with warm water. It’s gentle, and helps regulate your bowel movements and cleanses your system with time.
For lifestyle, maybe try yoga or some daily walks? They can do wonders for digestion. After you eat, take a slow walk for about 10 minutes. Helps to keep things moving.
Also, laying down right after eating can worsen bloating and burping, so keep upright at least a couple hours after meals.
If none of this improves things in a couple weeks, or if symptoms get worse it’s good to see a healthcare professional. It’s important to make sure there’s not something more serious going on.
Remember, try and figure out your own patterns – sometimes stress, not just food, can be a trigger. Make time for yourself and relaxation. It’s about finding balance, and everybody’s path is a little different.
