It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition like dysphagia, which can be related to a variety of factors such as acid reflux, inflammation, or weakness in the esophagus. Ayurveda would suggest balancing the digestive fire (Agni) and soothing any internal inflammation. You can try drinking warm water with a pinch of ginger and honey, as ginger helps improve digestion and reduce inflammation. Additionally, incorporating Ayurvedic herbs like Trikatu (a blend of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) can help stimulate proper digestion. It's important to avoid very hot, cold, or spicy foods that could irritate your throat further. Consider consulting an Ayurvedic doctor for a detailed treatment plan that might include internal herbal remedies and diet adjustments to support smooth digestion and healing.

Feeling food getting stuck in your esophagus can be quite uncomfortable, I get that. Especially when something simple like eating becomes a challenge. Given you've been experiencing pain in your throat for a few days, it's important to approach this carefully. Though Ayurveda offers helpful insights, safety first, right? If you have any difficulty breathing or experiencing intense pain, please reach out to a healthcare professional immediately.
Alright, now in terms of Ayurveda, this might be due to an imbalance in your Vata dosha, leading to what we call "Vata prakopa" affecting the movement of food. Agni, or digestive fire, might be low—making it tough to properly digest your meals. So let's aim to soothe that.
Start by focusing on warm, soothing foods that are easy to swallow, like soups or kitchari, and try to avoid dry or rough foods like rice or dry bread right now. When you eat, make sure to chew your food very well. It sounds basic, but trust me, it helps a lot.
Drinking warm water with meals can aid digestion, contrary to your cold water which might constrict and prevent smooth passage. If rice is typically troubling, switch to smaller grains like quinoa or millets and add a bit of ghee; it lubricates the esophagus... potentially easing the discomfort.
Include ginger or cumin tea in your routine—it helps in boosting Agni. Just boil some ginger slices in water and sip slowly. Here's something useful: practice Pranayama, particularly deep diaphragmatic breathing. It calms the Vata and helps support digestion.
For throat pain, gargle warm water with turmeric and a pinch of salt. That has anti-inflammatory properties and might soothe the throat. Rest well, and if things don't ease up, do see a specialist just to be safe. Your health matters, and sometimes quickly addressing these things can prevent more problems later.
