What is the best Ayurvedic treatment for indigestion? - #10912
I’ve been experiencing frequent indigestion and want to explore Ayurvedic remedies. What is the best Ayurvedic treatment for indigestion, and how effective are these remedies for long-term relief? In Ayurveda, indigestion is linked to a weakened or imbalanced Agni (digestive fire), which leads to symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, and constipation. One of the most commonly recommended remedies is Triphala, a blend of three fruits that cleanses the digestive tract and improves bowel movements. Should Triphala be taken as a tea or powder for best results, and how frequently can it be consumed? Another effective remedy is jeera (cumin) water or ajwain (carom seed) water, which helps reduce gas and improve digestion. Are these remedies safe for daily use, and should they be consumed after meals or on an empty stomach? Ayurveda also emphasizes incorporating spices like ginger, black pepper, and fennel seeds into meals to strengthen Agni. Are there specific recipes or combinations of these spices that are particularly beneficial for indigestion? Yoga poses like Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) are often recommended to ease digestive discomfort. How often should these poses be practiced, and can they be combined with breathing exercises for faster relief? If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies for indigestion, I’d love to hear your experience. What worked best for you, and how quickly did you notice improvements?
