How to deal with nausea after eating? - #15851
Varsha
I have been experiencing nausea after breakfast for half a year now, I have seen a doctor and he prescribed omeprazole but it does not help. What are some possible Ayurvedic remedies or lifestyle changes to treat nausea after eating? Are there any specific herbs, dietary adjustments or practices that can help improve digestion and prevent discomfort?

Namaste Varsha,
Nausea after eating can be caused by weak digestion (Mandagni), acid reflux, or excessive Kapha in the stomach. Since omeprazole has not helped, it is important to focus on balancing digestion naturally. Avoid heavy, oily, and cold foods in the morning, as they can slow down digestion. Instead, opt for warm, light foods like moong dal, rice, and stewed apples. Sipping warm water with a little ginger before and after meals can also improve digestion and reduce nausea.
Ayurveda recommends using herbs like ginger, ajwain, and fennel to strengthen digestion. You can make a simple remedy by boiling ginger and fennel seeds in water and drinking it after meals. A pinch of rock salt and lemon juice in warm water before eating can also help stimulate digestion. Avoid tea, coffee, and fermented foods in the morning, as they may increase acidity.
Along with diet, lifestyle changes can make a big difference. Eat slowly, chew food well, and avoid lying down immediately after meals. A gentle self-massage (Abhyanga) with warm sesame oil before bathing can improve circulation and digestion. Deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) and light walking after meals will also help reduce nausea. If the problem persists, try Triphala at night to cleanse the digestive system.
If you have additional concerns, let me know, and I will guide you further. Wishing you good health and comfort. Take care!

Nausea after breakfast can be tricky, especially when modern medications don't cut it. But Ayurveda might have some pearls for you. Sounds like your agni, or digestive fire, could be a bit off, maybe low — which would mean food isn’t being digested properly. Let's dive in with a touch of Ayurveda magic.
First off, how 'bout we take a peek at your morning routine? If you're rushing or stressed, that can be a biggie. Try waking up a bit earlier, giving yourself a chill start to the day. Yoga or pranayama, like a few Bhramari breaths — basically humming bee breath — can calm the mind and tune your digestive system.
Now, let’s chat about meals. Think warm, cooked meals. Cold or raw foods, especially in the morning, can make things tougher on the stomach. Soups or lightly spiced porridges are super for breakfast. Regularity in meals helps too — try to stick to same meal times each day.
Spices are your new BFFs! Add a pinch of ginger, cumin, or fennel to your dishes. These are kings in Ayurveda for digestion. Or, chewing a small piece of fresh ginger with a sprinkle of rock salt before breakfast might just do wonders for you.
Herbal-wise, try sipping on some ginger tea or peppermint tea after meals, helps settle any unease. Even triphala at night, around a teaspoon with warm water, can maintain digestive balance.
Stay hydrated but not overly. Sipping on warm water throughout the day can be magical for your system, but avoid too much right at meal times.
Watch your posture too. Sit upright while eating and even after — lounging around can make things worse.
If you’re missing out on mind-body harmony, stress might be stirring the pot. Meditations or gentle yoga can unwind that tension.
Remember, results could take a lil' time, tweaking is key. If things don’t eventually improve, do chat back with a trusted health provider. Ayurveda isn’t one-size-fits-all, but some patience and a touch of tradition might just ease that nausea away.
