Elevated amylase, yeah, that can be a worry, especially when you’re dealing with the mystery of no obvious symptoms. But hey, Ayurveda’s here to help, gently tune in your body’s harmony using its age-old wisdom. Let’s dive into it—keeping in mind, we want to address the subtlest signs your body is giving.
First thing, turmeric and ginger are indeed great for digestion, they’ve anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe digestive tract. They tend to regulate Agni, that is, your digestive fire. Golden milk, which is warm milk with a teaspoon of turmeric, can be a comforting night-time ritual. Just make sure it’s fresh, organic turmeric.
Ginger tea, sip it before meals, can really stimulate your digestive juices. Just boil a few slices of ginger in water. But, be cautious of too much ginger if you have high Pitta, it can aggravate.
Triphala, often recommended, is a powerful blend of three fruits—Haritaki, Bibhitaki, and Amalaki. It supports digestion, gently detoxifies and also strengthens overall Agni. Taking a teaspoon with warm water at night should work.
Diet-wise, focus on cooked, easy-to-digest foods—think semi-solid, warm and moist meals. Kitchari, a classic dish made from rice and lentils, is light, nourishing, and great for restoring gut health, eat it for lunch. It’s a bit labor-intensive but worth it. Small, frequent meals can reduce bloating too.
And, don’t ignore lifestyle—stress impacts digestion big time. Regular yoga, with postures like Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose), can help keep your insides feeling good. Meditation, even few minutes a day, can calm down stress and thus, digestion.
If you’re not in pain or distress, these gentle adjustments may start showing effects. Any persistent or severe symptoms require talking to your doctor, of course! Ayurveda isn’t a replacement for necessary medical care but a supportive partner on your health journey.
