Hello Tushar, How long are the symptoms for? Your issue may be due to weak digestion and gas buildup. In Ayurveda, it may be Vata imbalance. Do you feel bloated after meals? Do you eat cold or dry foods often?
Take Hingvastak Churna (½ tsp with warm water before food) to reduce gas. Take Syp Zymnet plus 2tsp thrice after meals. Drink Jeera-Dhania-Saunf (CCF) tea after meals. Eat warm, soft foods, avoid cold and raw foods.
Apply warm hingutriguna oil on the chest and neck to relax muscles. Do deep breathing and slow neck movements. Try Anulom Vilom Pranayama daily. Let me know if it gets better.
Alright, so burping issues can really get a bit uncomfortable. In Ayurveda, this is often tied to the imbalance of Vata dosha, especially in the digestive system. The gas gets trapped because the natural flow isn’t happening right, this might be due to an irregular diet, fast-paced eating habits, or stress – yes, stress can literally mess with your stomach.
First, take a look at how you’re eating. Are you rushing meals or maybe even skipping them? Try slowing down, chew your food well, and really savor it. Sounds simple, but it’s crucial. Also, take care that the meals are at regular intervals – no long gaps, that can disturb your ‘agni’ or digestive fire.
Something that’s quite handy is including warm spices in your meals, like ginger or cumin. You might sprinkle some roasted cumin powder with a pinch of rock salt on your food. These are like little digestive aids. Ginger tea after meals, a classic choice, provides warmth and helps with digestion – just steep some fresh slices in hot water.
Now, if we’re talkin’ about that muscle you mentioned, a gently massage to the throat area and the upper stomach with warm sesame oil can encourage relaxation. Breathing exercises like ‘Nadi Shodhana’ or alternate nostril breathing, are also real good for calming down your system and balancing Vata.
Stay hydrated but not overhydrate during meals, sip warm water instead of downing a full glass. And oh, avoid cold drinks or raw food which can aggravate Vata, sticking with cooked and warm helps.
Don’t ignore stress either – try some yoga or simply take few moments to just breathe. It’s quite incredible how calming down overall helps your body work better.
Keep a little diary of what you’re consuming and when, see if any patterns pop up about what triggers the issue more. If things stay bothersome or worsen, consider reaching out to a healthcare professional. Remember, it’s about tuning your lifestyle to align with what’s nurturing your body best.
