ayurvedic treatment for chronic digestive issues — what’s the best ayurvedic medicine list for me? - #1757

Alright, so you're on the right track thinking about Ayurveda for digestion issues! It's all about balancing the doshas and reigniting your agni (that’s your digestive fire). First up, you've mentioned Triphala. It's kind of like a go-to in Ayurveda. You can take Triphala churna (that’s a powder) every night, 1 tsp with warm water. It helps with constipation and overall gut health. Hingvastak churna is also solid. Especially good for bloating and gas. You can mix about 1/2 tsp with a little ghee before meals. Just stir it into warm water if you're not into ghee's taste. It really helps enhance digestion. Cumin, coriander, and fennel teas could also be your best buddies. Brew a tsp of each seed in boiling water – sip throughout the day. It's like a gentle push that calms down the stomach. For something daily, and a bit more intensive, Amalaki (Amla) really shines. It’s rejuvenating, so get it in powdered form and have about 1/4 tsp in the morning with water. Ashwagandha might help too, especially if stress is a factor in those digestive woes. Try taking a tablet or 1/2 tsp powder with warm milk at night. It's fine for balancing Vata and also works wonders for stress. Don’t forget about your routine—your meals should be consistent, warm, freshly cooked—keep it simple, like kichadi is amazing. Start incorporating these into your day, but just remember, since you're dealing with chronic issues, you should ideally see an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice. That way, they can consider your unique prakriti (constitution) and get to the root cause of what's up. If you haven't yet, it's a good idea to check out how these remedies interact with any other meds you've been prescribed. Stay steady and you'll get those benefits! Digestive challenges sometimes have deeper roots, so hang in there.
