When dealing with persistent digestive issues like yours, it’s crucial to consider both the immediate relief and the long-term balance of your doshas. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it appears that there’s a Vata-Pitta imbalance, affecting your digestion and mental clarity… Here’s a detailed approach to manage this:
Firstly, consider using Trikatu Churna, which includes black pepper, long pepper, and ginger. This combination can help to stimulate your Agni (digestive fire) and promote better nutrient absorption. You can take 1/2 teaspoon with a little bit of honey before meals, but avoid if you feel too much heat (Pitta increase).
To specifically address the flatulence and sticky stools, adding a teaspoon of Triphala Churna at night with warm water can be beneficial due to its balancing properties, assisting in colon cleansing without overly stimulating. You already find Hingwashtak Churna helpful, continue with it around mealtime as its carminative effects should alleviate bloating and discomfort.
As for dietary habits, try to incorporate more naturally probiotic foods like homemade pickles or fermented greens in small amounts, which can help restore gut flora. Regular intake of CCF tea (Cumin, Coriander, Fennel) throughout the day can also soothe and support digestive functions.
In terms of lifestyle, continue with your yoga practice but incorporate postures that specifically aid digestion, such as Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose) and Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose). Along with pranayama, Brahmari and Nadi Shodhana would be beneficial.
Ashwagandha (as a supplement or tea) is a great adaptogen for fatigue and mental fog. Continue it evening time as it’s calming yet supports energy stabilization.
Note that skin itching may be a Pitta issue reflecting internal heat or inflammations so applying cooling substances externally like aloe vera gel can provide relief.
Lastly stay vigilant about urination and sleep disruption as these might require further medical evaluation if persistent. If symptoms don’t considerably improve in 3-4 months, consult a gastroenterologist for more comprehensive tests.
