HELLO DEVANS,
The root causes are
1)Weak agni(mandagni)= your digestion is not cooking food properly
-In ayurveda ,agni(digestive fire) is the core of health.
when it becomes dull due to stress, irregular food habits, eating cold/stale food etc, digestion becomes incomplete->forming Ama(toxins)
-Ama is sticky, unprocessed food matter. It
-blocks energy channels(srotas)
-causes bloating and gas
-moves to different tissues, causing body pain
-makes you feel dull, heavy,and weak
AGNI DOWN->AMA UP->GAS+PAIN+ACIDTY+FATIGUE
2)Vata-vyapti(vata overactivity)
when digestion is weak, vata dosha gets disturbed-especially in colon and nerves.
*vata disturbance causes
-GAS,BLOATING=vata stuck in colon(apana vata)
-CHEST TIGHTNESS/PAIN= vata moving upward(udana vata)
-BACK,SHOULDER PAIN= vata occupying spaces(joints and bone marrow)
-LEG PAIN=vata moving erratically (Vyana vata)
-STRESS,INSOMNIA= vata affecting mind and prana.
3)Acid reflux=pitta aggravated+vata pushing it upward
you are likely experiencing Amlapiita, a condition
where:
-digestive acids are overproduced -due to irregular food habits, spicy/oily food, stress)
-vata pushes this acidic content upward, causing- burning, throat irritation, chest heaviness, indigestion and sour burps
4)Psychosomatic link- Gut and Mind
-your gut and brain are deeply connected via gut-brain axis.
- stress affects digestion by increasing cortisol and adrenaline.
-these hormones tighten your abdominal and back muscles, reduce blood flow to gut, and slow peristalsis->gas builds up
-vata increases->thoughts race, body gets stiff, and digestion collapses further
THIS IS WHY YOU FEEL
-something is wrong in your body
-all symptoms moving around- chest, back,legs,shoulders
5)Why Gas radiates like body pain
trapped gas presses against muscles and nerves
-Upward->chest pain(mimics heart pain),shoulder heaviness
-Downward->leg cramps.
-Around navel->bloating, abdominal tightness
You may feel like you have nerve pain, but it's actually vata pressing on nerve endings due to trapped gas+toxins
let me clear what is vata, vata is air element present in human body.
I hope you understand what is going inside your body
So the total treatment is planned for 40 days
remember only taking medicines will not help
so with internal medications, proper diet, yoga pranayam,and lifestyle modifications also plays major role in healing
#STAGE 1=DEEPAN+PACHAN(BOOSTS DIGESTION AND REMOVE TOXINS)
-take for 40 days continue to get relief
1)Hingwastaka churna-'1 tsp with warm water after meals twice daily= improves digestion, reduces gas instantly
2)Avipattikar churna- 1 tsp with warm water-before sleep at bedtimme=controls acid,promotes bowel movement
3)Sutsekhar ras- 1 tab with water after meals twice daily=for acid reflux and chest tightness
4)Arogyavardhini vati- 1 tab after lunch= detoxifies liver, regulates pitta
5)Ashwagandha capsule- 1 cap at night with warm milk= relieves stress, pain, improves sleep
#STAGE 2- GUT RESET DIE(7-15 DAYS )-STRICTLY FOLLOW FOR 2 WEEKS COMPULSORY
-Morning empty stomach- warm water with jeera+ajwain boiled(1/2 tsp each)
-breakfast- warm rice porridge with ghee, or fruit stew(apple/banana)
-lunch- moong dal khichdi with ghee, jeera,turmeric, cooked lauki/pumpkin
-evening- warm ginger+fennel tea
-dinner(before 8pm)- light soup,thinkhichdi,or bottle gourd curry with rice
*follow this diet for only 15 days and see magical improvement in your body
#EAT-
-warm,soft foods like moong dal khichdi
-cumin-fennel tea after meals
-ginger-jeera-hing herbal water during day
-boiled/steamed veggies
-rice over wheat as rice is easier to digest
-cow ghee-1tsp on meals
-fresh fruits-banana, apple,papaya etc(but not cold)

#STAGE 3- VATA-PITTA PACIFYING YOGA+PRANAYAM
DAILY ROUTINE=20-30 MIN
-pawanmuktasana-morning= relieves trapped abdominal gas
-setubandhasana- morning= opens chest and relieves upper pressure
-vajrasana(5-10 min post meals)= improves digestion
-Anulom-vilom- morning and evening= calms nervous system, balances vata-pitta
-Bhramari pranayam- night= relieves chest pressure and mental noise
-Shavasana- after yoga= relaxes full body and nerves
most importantly suryanamsakr-5 cycles daily in morning
#STAGE 4- HOME DETOX+SLEEP RESET
*HOME DETOX DRINKS

2)Jeera+Dhaniya+Fennel decoction- boil 1/2 tsp each in 2 cups->reduce to 1 cup
3)haritaki Churna-1 tsp with warm water at night->cleanses colon
SLEEP TIPS
-no phone after 9:30 pm
-warm sesame oil foot massage at night daily

-sleep by 10:30 pm
-use dim yellow lighting in evening
weekly plan you can follow
mon-wed= light food,hingwastaka etc medicines,yoga+pranayam
thur= Nasya(instil 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril morning empty stomach, with other medications, diet and yoga pranayam
fri= haritaki 1 tsp at night with other medications
sat= warm oil full body massage with sesame oil
sun= rest, deep breathing, calming
#tips for "something is wrong" in your feeling
-this is not in your head. you are having mix of poor gut health+nervous system overdrive
-slow down your eating- chew food 32 times and eat in silence
-daily walk barefoot on grass
-daily walk 30 min after dinner-very important
final words-
you are not sick , but your body is crying for regulation.
Ayurveda heals this from the root-without suppressing symptoms.
Give this 40 days and your gas, body pain,reflux and the uneasy feeling will start reversing naturally
hope this might be helpful
do follow and get well soon in next 40 days
thank you
