USG abdomen test – How does Ayurveda interpret abdominal health? - #16804

Yes, you’re absolutely right—Ayurveda views digestion (Agni) as the root of health, and even if your USG abdomen test appears normal, an imbalance in doshas (especially Vata and Pitta) could still be causing your symptoms. Bloating, irregular digestion, and heaviness after eating are often linked to Mandagni (weak digestive fire), which can lead to the buildup of Ama (toxins) in the gut. This isn’t something a scan can detect, but Ayurveda recognizes it as a major cause of long-term digestive discomfort. To improve digestion, Triphala is a great choice, as it gently detoxifies and strengthens Agni. Fennel and Ajwain (carom seeds) help reduce bloating and improve digestion, so chewing them after meals or drinking them as tea can be beneficial. Ginger tea, hing (asafoetida) with warm water, and buttermilk with rock salt can also help balance digestion. It’s also important to eat warm, freshly cooked meals, avoid excessive raw or cold foods, and ensure meal timings are consistent. For a deeper cleanse, Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (therapeutic purgation) or a simple home detox with warm water, herbal teas, and light khichdi can help reset digestion. Practicing yoga poses like Pawanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) and Vajrasana after meals can aid digestion as well. If your symptoms persist, consulting an Ayurvedic doctor can help identify your specific dosha imbalance and recommend a more personalized approach. With the right Ayurvedic support, you can!
