Your symptoms suggest that there’s an imbalance in your digestive system, potentially involving the liver and a weak digestive fire, or “agni,” as we say in Ayurveda. Oftentimes, such issues are linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha which regulates metabolism and digestion. It’s important to address both the symptoms and the underlying imbalance to bring your system back into harmony.
First step in managing this condition is to enhance your digestive fire. Begin expressing more focus on what and how you eat. Opt for light, warm, and cooked meals that are easy to digest. Simple dishes like khichdi, made with rice and mung beans, are gentle on the stomach, nourishing yet not overly taxing. Include spices such as ginger and cumin during cooking as they can stimulate digestion and ease nausea. Avoid raw, oily, or very spicy food, as these can aggravate Pitta and vitiate the digestion further.
Hydration is crucial, aim to sip warm water or herbal teas (such as fennel or peppermint) throughout the day as they can be calming for both nausea and digestion. Eating in a peaceful environment, without distractions can also support your digestive process and help in focusing more on your body’s signals.
Additionally, incorporating gentle yoga or Pranayama exercises, like deep breathing, can aid in reducing nausea and supporting liver function. When practiced daily, they maintain balance in body’s energies.
Consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal recommendations – herbs like Guduchi or Amla can promote liver health and easing up digestion issues.
Do ensure to consult with a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen. Ayurveda can work alongside conventional medicine but severe conditions might require immediate medical intervention. Prioritize your well-being and seek help where necessary—finding the right diagnosis is key step to a healthier you.
