Hello dear patient, These problems mainly seen in chronic indigestion problems. These also may be due to changes in liver function. So please go through your complete check ups. By the way you can start a symptomatic relief with Pachnamrutham Kashayam 15 ml + 60 ml hot water before food two times daily. Also use Hinguvachadi churna 1 tsp with hot water after food 2 times.
The answer in such cases lies in correcting the diet and lifestyle of the patient. Can you please give an account of your diet in detail and how is your appetite and motions in the last few months?
Start with mustard 2gm+vidanga churna 1gm /2times with warm water.
Avoid:heavy food items, oily, spicy . Try to have simple food like moong dal ,rice ,khichdi
Hello Cheta, could you tell me more about your diet, lifestyle, and any specific foods or situations that worsen your symptoms? How often do you experience bloating, constipation, or loose motions? Are there any emotional triggers or stressors that seem to exacerbate the discomfort? Also, have you noticed any patterns in your bowel movements, such as time of day or after meals? Understanding these details will help provide a more personalized approach to your treatment.
In Ayurveda, IBS is often linked to Vata and Pitta imbalances. It affects digestion, causing irregularities in bowel movements and discomfort. Balancing Agni (digestive fire) and soothing the digestive system with herbs like Kutaj, Hingvastak Churna, and Amla might help regulate your symptoms. Additionally, dietary adjustments like warm, easy-to-digest foods and stress management techniques could further aid in alleviating your discomfort.

Alright, that’s quite a handful you’re experiencing there. Sounds like your digestive system’s been throwing a few unwelcome parties, huh? So, let’s break this down a bit. From what you’re describing, this seems to be a classic case of aggravation in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Each of those symptoms—gas, bloating, constipation, loose motions, acidity, headaches—can be drawn back to some imbalance in those interiors forces.
For gas and bloating, the key here is to focus on maintaining a strong and balanced agni, your digestive fire. Sometimes, a sluggish agni results in indigestion, leading to Ama (toxic undigested material) that can bloat up the belly. Consider beginning your day with a glass of warm lemon water; the citrus helps to jumpstart your digestion. Later, as you’re cooking, using spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel will help to regulate and settle your digestive system. They’re gentle yet effective.
The inconsistency with your bowel movements, swinging between constipation and loose stool, suggests a dual-problem of Vata severity with a touch of Pitta’s fiery nature. In this case, a simple, yet often useful remedy is taking warm ghee (clarified butter) in the morning on an empty stomach. Start with half a teaspoon mixed in warm water about 20 minutes before breakfast. Now, don’t worry, sometimes it feels counter-intuitive, but ghee’s lubricating qualities can actually help set things right.
Alright, onto headaches and acidity. Shatavari is a fabulous herb to consider incorporating—it helps cool down the system. Mixing a teaspoon of Shatavari powder in milk or water and drinking before bed can soothe out some of those fiery issues. It’s about cooling down and nurturing your insides, remember.
Speaking of lifestyle tweaks, take notice of how much stress you’re under. Regular practice of Pranayama, specifically Nadi Shodhana (alternate nasal breathing), can calm the mind and also has a stabilizing effect on your Vata-Pitta doshas. Spend about 10 minutes each morning on it. This may not seem directly related but stress, more often than not, fuels these fires inside us.
Before we wrap it up, I must say, if symptoms persist or worsen, it’s vital you reach out to a professional who can offer in-person guidance. Because while this might all sound straightforward, everyone’s constitution is unique and sometimes, ya just need another pair of eyes.
