Doctors’ responses
Your symptoms suggest an aggravated pitta and vata dosha affecting the digestive system. To improve digestion and relieve discomfort, start by taking warm water with a pinch of dry ginger and ajwain before meals to stimulate agni (digestive fire). Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy-to-digest foods, as well as caffeinated or carbonated beverages. Include easily digestible foods like moong dal khichdi, steamed vegetables, and buttermilk spiced with roasted cumin and rock salt. A decoction of coriander seeds and fennel can reduce bloating and heartburn. Practice mindful eating, avoid lying down immediately after meals, and consider taking triphala churna at bedtime to regulate digestion.

Your symptoms indicate Agni Mandya (weakened digestive fire) and likely Amlapitta (acidic imbalance). Here’s a brief Ayurvedic plan to help:
Ayurvedic Recommendations:
Herbal Formulations:
Avipattikar Churna: Take 1 tsp with warm water before meals, twice a day. It helps in balancing stomach acidity and improving digestion.
Shankha Vati: 1 tablet after meals, twice daily. This formulation aids in relieving bloating, heartburn, and indigestion.
Dietary Tips:
Consume light, easily digestible meals like rice porridge or moong dal soup.
Avoid spicy, fried, and acidic foods, as well as caffeinated drinks.
Drink cumin-coriander-fennel tea throughout the day to soothe the stomach and reduce bloating.
Lifestyle Changes:
Practice deep breathing (Pranayama) for 10 minutes daily to calm the digestive system.
Avoid lying down immediately after meals; take a short walk instead.
If symptoms persist, consult an Ayurvedic doctor for personalised treatment. If you liked the answer please close the question.

Ah, that does sound uncomfortable. Lets try to break it down a bit. Your symptoms point towards an imbalance in Pitta dosha, and also a bit of Vata dosha disrupting your digestive system, often referred to as agni in Ayurveda.
Indigestion and the burning sensation, they're typically signs of excess Pitta. It's like too much heat building up in your stomach. No hunger and bloating, along with vomiting sensation—classical signs your digestive fire might be weak or irregular.
First thing, try adjusting your diet. Avoid spicy, fried and fermented foods for now. Stick to simple meals, light on oil and spices. Things like cooked vegetables, oatmeal, or even kitchari (a mix of rice and mung beans) can be soothing. Also, steering clear of caffeine and alcohol can help too, as they tend to aggravate Pitta.
For the bloating, chewing on a small piece of fresh ginger with some salt before meals may aid digestion, just don't overdo it – a pinky nail size piece is enough. This can stimulate your agni and ease the vata that's causing the bloating.
Stay hydrated but not with meals, better to sip warm water throughout the day instead of cold. Cold drinks can dampen your digestive fire further.
Consider trying herbs like Amla or Guduchi which helps in balancing Pitta. You could take them in the form of powder or tablets, but it's good to consult nearby Ayurveda practitioner for the right dosage.
Lastly, a little routine and rhythm can do wonders. Try to have meals at the same time daily, sleep early, and include light physical activities like a walk or gentle yoga. This helps in balancing both pitta and vata doshas.
If symtoms persist or get worse, though, don't hesitate to see a doctor. Sometimes this could point to something more serious which might need different attention. Focus on small changes now and hopefully you start feeling better soon.
