Hello Muhammad, Since you experience excessive gas, difficulty digesting rice and oily foods, and frequent constipation, further details will help in a more precise Ayurvedic approach. How long have you had these digestive issues, and do they worsen at a particular time of day? Do you experience bloating, acid reflux, or nausea? Have you undergone tests like LFT, lipid profile, or stool analysis? Is your blood pressure controlled with medication or lifestyle changes? How are your sleep patterns and energy levels throughout the day? Since anxiety and depression are also present, do you have mood swings, brain fog, or fatigue?

1. Divya Udaramrit Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals with warm water (for digestion). 2. Divya Hingvastak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals (to reduce gas). 3. Triphala churna– 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime (for constipation). 4. Amla Juice – 10 ml with warm water in the morning (for digestion & overall health). 5. Ashwagandha Churna – 1/2tsp with warm milk at night (for anxiety & stress relief). Avoid heavy, oily, and fermented foods. Drink warm water throughout the day.

Hello Muhammad, Your stomach making too much gas, maybe because digestion not working good. Eating rice and oily food can make it worse. Constipation also coming, and stress and sadness make stomach more upset. Blood pressure problem can also add to this. This problem happens when Vata dosha gets too high, making digestion weak and causing gas and constipation. Pitta dosha also gets disturbed when eating oily, spicy food, leading to bloating and discomfort. Stress and worry increase Vata, making digestion even worse. Some remedies- Warm Water: Drink warm water in morning to clean stomach and help digestion. Jeera Water: Boil cumin seeds (jeera) in water and drink after meals to reduce gas. Ajwain and Black Salt: Chew 1 tsp of ajwain with a pinch of black salt for gas relief. Ginger Tea: Boil ginger in water, drink before meals to help digestion. Buttermilk: Mix buttermilk with roasted cumin powder and drink in afternoon. It’s good for stomach. Triphala Powder: Take 1 teaspoon of Triphala with warm water at night to clean stomach and stop constipation. Warm Oil Massage: Rub warm sesame oil on belly in clockwise motion to help constipation. Breathing Exercise: Try deep breathing (Anulom Vilom) every day to calm mind and stomach. Kapal bhati - 50 counts everyday on empty stomach. Eating less oily, spicy food, and avoiding cold drinks can also help. Sleep on time, don’t take too much stress, and walk after meals to feel better.

Alright, let's see how we can approach this. Excessive gas, difficulties digesting rice or oily foods, and constipation sound like a classic Vata imbalance in Ayurveda. The anxiety and depression you're experiencing may also connect with this imbalance, since Vata dosha governs the nervous system and mind as well. First thing you're gonna want to do is to focus on the kind of foods you're eating. You wanna stick to warm, cooked, and easy-to-digest meals. Think about kichari, a nice mix of rice and mung dal. You can spice it up with ginger, cumin, and turmeric – these will help your agni, or digestive fire, work better. When it comes to rice, try smaller portions and cook it well, with more water than usual to make it extra soft. Oils can be tricky. Ghee, though, is fantastic! It helps reduce Vata and assists in digestion. But just take it in moderation, you know? Maybe a tablespoon in your meals. You'll notice the difference. For constipation, stay hydrated. Not just water tho – herb teas can be your friends too. Licorice tea works wonders here. Also, Triphala before bed can help regulate your bowel movements. Its got a balancing effect. Emotional stuff is just as important. Meditation, yoga, or even simple breathing exercises can help reduce anxiety and depression. Try a daily routine - avoid spicy shows or stressful activities before bed. Turn down the pace. It's little steps, right? Don't try to tackle everything at once. Adjust your diet and lifestyle slowly. Being compassionate with yourself is key, so give these recommendations a try, and see how you fare. And if the symptoms are severe, I’d advise visiting a healthcare provider, just to be sure there’s nothing else going on. If there’s anything you don’t understand or more you wanna clarify, just let me know.
