To manage IBS with an Ayurvedic perspective, especially after a viral infection like COVID-19, understanding the balance of your doshas, particularly vata and pitta, can be crucial. The discomfort you are experiencing, including constipation, often signals an imbalance in these energies, affecting your digestive fire, or agni.
Firstly, maintain a diet that soothes vata-pitta imbalances. Favor warm, cooked foods over cold or raw options. Use spices like cumin, coriander, and a dash of hing (asafoetida) to enhance digestion without aggravating your system. Steamed vegetables, rice, and moong dal (a type of lentil) are typically balancing. Avoid processed and fried foods, carbonated drinks, and excessive caffeine.
Incorporate a morning routine to regulate bowel movements. Start the day with a glass of warm water with a squeeze of lemon to stimulate digestion. Practicing yoga postures like Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) can help reduce bloating and gas.
Herbal remedies can be beneficial. Consider taking triphala at bedtime—this traditional formulation is gentle on the system and aids in regularizing bowel movements. Check with your healthcare provider about integrating triphala alongside your current medication.
Ensure that stress is managed, perhaps through deep-breathing exercises or meditation, as stress can further disrupt vata energy. If symptoms persist, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable to ensure the approach aligns with any ongoing treatments or medications. Remember, any significant change in health protocol should be communicated with your current healthcare provider.
IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, can be particularly challenging. Since you’ve mentioned having a bout post-corona, it could be that your gut flora was disrupted. Probiotics like VSL3 might be beneficial for some, though responses vary and, in conjunction with other medication, stomach disturbances can occur. It’s important to accommodate any known sensitivities to ensure they’re not worsening symptoms.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, IBS often relates to Vata imbalance – specifically Apana Vayu, affecting lower intestines. To navigate this, an understanding of your constitution (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) is useful, but some general recommendations may help.
Diet is crucial. Favor warm, cooked foods over raw or cold ones, which can aggravate Vata. Ushna (warming) and Snigdha (unctuous) foods like kichadi (a mix of rice and lentils) can be soothing. Avoid processed foods, caffeine, and reduce spices if they cause discomfort. Ginger tea, cumin, and coriander can help stimulate agni (digestive fire). Drinking warm water post-meals aids digestion too.
Regular meal times assist. Small frequent meals are preferable over large ones which strain the digestive system. Chewing food thoroughly and eating mindfully strengthens digestion.
Herbal remedies like Triphala churna, taken with warm water at bedtime, supports bowel movements. A teaspoon of Psyllium husk before bed with warm water can also address occasional constipation, ensuring sufficient hydration.
Lifestyle-wise, regular, light exercises like yoga can stabilize Vata, decreasing anxiety linked to IBS. Incorporating relaxation techniques – meditation or pranayama – brings harmony to unsettled parts.
It’s key to understand personal triggers. Maintain a journal noting foods, activities, and IBS episodes to identify patterns. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice, especially for your needs. If any symptoms worsen or seem unusual, pursuing medical guidance is crucial. Balance is achievable with patience and conscious adaptation.
