HELLO PRASATH,
Gastric issues like bloating, indigestion, and irregular bowelmovements can feel overwhelming, especially when they affect your daily life and peace of mind.
Your symptoms suggest an imbalance in vata (gas, dryness) and pitta (acidity, inflammation). Digestion is governed by Agni (digestive fire). When Agni is weak or disturbed , toxins (ama) build up, leading to bloating, gas, and indigestion
1) DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early 7 am -drink warm water with a pinch of hing, and ajwain. -avoid sleeping late and reduce screen time
2) DIET -eat warm, cooked , light meals -avoid raw, cold, or oily foods -eat at regular times -avoid= milk + fruit, curd at night, carbonated drinks, fried foods
FAVOUR -jeera water -buttermilk with rock salt and roasted jeera -methi seeds soaked overnight -soft khichdi with ghee
MEDICATIONS
1) TRIPHALA= 1 tsp t bedtime with warm water =regulates bowels, detox
2) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals =reduces bloating, improves digestion
3) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water =reduces acidity
4) AJAMODADI CHURNA= after food 1/2 tsp with warm water =gas, colic
HYDRATION -sip warm water throughout the day -avoid ice cold drinks
YOGA AND LIFESTYLE
YOGA ASANA= pawanmuktasana, vajrasana after meals, ardha matsyendrasana
BREATHING= anulom-vilom, kapalbhati (if not too weak or inflamed)
AVOID STRESS- it’s a big trigger for gut issues
-If constipation is chronic, consider mild castor oil- 1 tsp in warm milk at bedtime once a week
-If weight gain is a concern, focus on balancing agni not crash diets
-Avoid long gaps between meals or overeating
SIMPLE DIET PLAN
MORNING= warm water + triphala BREAKFAST= moong dal dosa/ IDLI and take jeera water LUNCH= khichdi + ghee + cooked veggies + buttermilk EVENING= herbal tea cumin - fennel DINNER= light soup + rice + veggies BEDTIME= triphala or warm milk with turmeric
You’re only 23- your body has great healing powder if supported naturally. Be consistent, stay calm, and follow this plan for 21 days.

Ayurveda views bloating and gastric issues as a sign of an imbalance in the body, primarily related to the Vata dosha (the air and space element). When Vata is aggravated in the digestive tract, it can lead to the accumulation of gas, causing discomfort and bloating.
Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to address this, focusing on diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies to restore balance and improve digestion.
Dietary Adjustments Ayurveda places great emphasis on mindful eating and a diet that supports Agni (the digestive fire).
Favor Warm and Cooked Foods: Cold, raw foods, and iced beverages can weaken Agni. Opt for warm, freshly cooked meals like soups, stews, and steamed vegetables.
Include Digestive Spices: Spices are key to kindling Agni. Incorporate carminative spices like ginger, cumin, coriander, fennel, asafoetida (hing), and turmeric into your cooking.
Avoid Gas-Forming Foods: Reduce or avoid foods known to cause gas, such as beans, cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower), and carbonated drinks.
Mindful Eating: Chew your food thoroughly and eat in a calm, peaceful environment. Avoid overeating and eating on the run.
Proper Hydration: Sip on warm water or herbal teas throughout the day. Avoid drinking large amounts of water with meals as it can dilute digestive enzymes.
Herbal Remedies
Several Ayurvedic herbs and formulations are traditionally used to relieve gas and bloating:
Ginger: Known for its digestive properties, ginger can be consumed as a tea or added to meals. Dry ginger (Shunthi) is often considered more potent for Vata imbalances.
Fennel Seeds (Saunf): Chewing a teaspoon of roasted fennel seeds after a meal is a common practice to aid digestion and prevent gas. Fennel tea can also be very effective.
Cumin Seeds (Jeera): Cumin water or tea is an excellent remedy. Boil cumin seeds in water, strain, and drink to reduce bloating.
Asafoetida (Hing): This pungent spice is a powerful carminative. A pinch of hing mixed with warm water can provide quick relief. It’s also a staple in dishes that are known to cause gas, like lentils and beans.
Triphala: A blend of three fruits (Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki), Triphala helps to cleanse the digestive tract and promote healthy bowel movements, which can prevent gas buildup.
Trikatu: A combination of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper, Trikatu helps to stimulate digestion and reduce gas.
Lifestyle Practices
Regular Exercise: Moderate physical activity, such as walking or yoga, can help improve digestion and encourage the movement of gas through the digestive tract.
Stress Management: Stress can aggravate Vata and lead to digestive issues. Practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises, and gentle yoga can help calm the mind and support digestive health.
Abdominal Massage: Gently massaging the abdomen in a clockwise direction with warm sesame or castor oil can help stimulate digestion and alleviate discomfort from trapped gas.
Treatment
1) hinguvastaka churna 2 gm 1 hr before food with ghee and warm water 3 times
2) maha shankha vati - before food 3 times with warm water
Start with Tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 after food with water Tablet Gasex 1-0-1 after food with water Follow up after 15 days

Gastric issues, like bloating and indigestion, may be linked to an imbalance in your doshas, primarily Vata and Pitta, and the status of your digestive fire, or Agni. A few practical steps can be taken to help. First, your diet should be easy-to-digest, favour warm, cooked foods, soups, and stews. Minimize raw, cold, and hard-to-digest foods. Focus on having your meals at regular intervals, perhaps every 4-5 hours, without snacking in between. Try to include spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel in your cooking — they can enhance digestion and reduce bloating.
Start your day by drinking warm water with a few drops of fresh lemon juice. This may help to clear stagnation and stimulate digestion. Using ginger tea about 30 minutes before meals often supports Agni and alleviates bloating. When it comes to addressing motion issues, regularity can be key. Incorporating fiber-rich foods, simply like cooked spinach or stewed prunes, can improve bowel movements. Ghee (clarified butter) taken with warm milk at bedtime may aid in smooth bowel movement and balance Vata dosha.
Weight gain, could be thwarted with regular exercise; walking or yoga can be beneficial. Make sure to maintain a disciplined lifestyle, waking up and sleeping at a similar time daily. Activities such as Pranayama can have profound effects on stress and digestive health.
Avoid habits like late-night eating or consuming heavy meals before bed. Try to eat the heaviest meal at lunchtime, when Agni is strongest. Keeping check on processed foods, sweets and excessive dairy might also assist in achieving balance. If symptoms continue or worsen, seek a professional medical evaluation.
For your concerns of bloating, indigestion, and other digestive problems at such a young age, let’s focus on understanding the root cause from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective. These symptoms often hint at an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement within the body, and can also involve Pitta if there’s acidity or heat-related discomfort. Here’s some practical advice you can follow:
1. Dietary Adjustments: Begin by eating warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest - avoid raw, cold foods and drinks. Include ginger and cumin in your meals to stimulate Agni (digestive fire) and help with digestion. Stay away from processed foods, fizzy drinks, and excessive sugar, which can disturb the digestive process.
2. Eating Habits: Eat at regular intervals - not too late at night. Chew your food thoroughly and eat mindfully without distractions. Drinking warm water throughout the day can help maintain digestive functions.
3. Herbal Formulations: Consider using trikatu, a formulation of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger. It aids digestion and reduces bloating. However, consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for appropriate dosing, especially if you have any concurrent conditions.
4. Lifestyle Modifications: Engage in regular physical activities like yoga or brisk walking to encourage proper digestion and metabolism. Practicing pranayama (breath control exercises) can help balance Vata and settle your digestive system too.
5. Sleep Routine: Ensure you’re getting adequate rest, align with natural body rhythms by sleeping early, and waking with the sunrise.
6. Medical Attention: If symptoms persist or include severe pain or rapid weight changes, seek medical attention. This could indicate a more serious condition requiring immediate care.
Focus on consistency and gentle shifts in your lifestyle for sustainable healing. This approach respects the body’s natural balance and gently encourages restoration without extreme interventions.
