Experiencing persistent upper-right abdominal pain, especially when accompanied by digestion issues like constipation and gas, can be distressing.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, persistent pain in the upper right abdomen could be related to an imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas. The upper right side of the abdomen is associated with the liver and gallbladder, which are governed by Pitta. A Pitta imbalance can lead to issues with digestion, inflammation, and acidity. Vata, when out of balance, can cause symptoms like gas, bloating, and constipation.
The combination of symptoms you’re describing might suggest:
Imbalance of Pitta Dosha: This can manifest as excess heat or inflammation, which could be affecting the liver and bile production, leading to sharp pain.
Aggravation of Vata Dosha: Vata’s cold and dry qualities can impair the digestive fire (Agni), leading to slow, sluggish digestion, gas, and constipation.
Ayurvedic Recommendations for Your Symptoms:
To address these imbalances, an Ayurvedic approach would focus on pacifying Pitta and Vata, improving Agni (digestive fire), and cleansing the channels (srotas).
1. Dietary Changes (Ahar):
Pitta-Pacifying Diet: Avoid hot, spicy, oily, and fried foods. Reduce sour and fermented foods (like yogurt, vinegar, and pickles). Favor bitter, sweet, and astringent tastes. Incorporate foods like cooked vegetables, rice, sweet fruits (pears, melons), and cooling herbs like cilantro and mint.
Vata-Pacifying Diet: Eat warm, cooked, and moist foods. Avoid dry, raw, and cold foods (like salads and cold drinks). Use healthy oils like ghee or olive oil.
Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water throughout the day. Sip on lukewarm water with a small amount of ginger and lemon to stimulate digestion.
Meal Timings: Eat your largest meal at midday when your digestive fire is strongest. Avoid eating late at night.
2. Lifestyle and Daily Routine (Vihar):
Regular Routine: Maintain a consistent sleep schedule and meal times. This helps to balance Vata.
Stress Management: Stress can significantly aggravate both Pitta and Vata. Incorporate calming activities like meditation, gentle yoga, or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine.
Gentle Exercise: Engage in light to moderate exercise, such as walking or gentle yoga. Avoid strenuous exercises that can increase heat (Pitta).
3. Herbal Remedies (Aushadhi):
An Ayurvedic practitioner might recommend herbs and formulations to support liver function, aid digestion, and reduce gas and pain. Some commonly used herbs for these issues include:
Triphala: A classic blend of three fruits, Triphala is known for its gentle cleansing action and ability to support bowel movements and digestion. It is typically taken with warm water before bed.
Aloe Vera: Aloe vera juice can be very cooling and soothing for Pitta, helping to reduce inflammation and acidity.
Cumin, Coriander, and Fennel (CCF) Tea: This simple tea is excellent for improving digestion, reducing gas, and calming the digestive system. You can make it by boiling equal parts of the seeds in water.

Persistent upper right-side stomach pain along with digestive issues such as constipation and gas suggests an imbalance in the digestive system according to Ayurveda, potentially involving aggravated Vata and Pitta doshas. Before proceeding with Ayurveda recommendations, it’s critically important to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions, especially considering the duration of your symptoms. If medical emergencies are ruled out, we can explore ways to harmonize your doshas.
In Ayurveda, your symptoms could hint at low Agni (digestive fire) and possibly Ama (toxins) accumulation. To pacify these doshas and strengthen digestion, consider making some dietary and lifestyle adjustments. Begin with your diet: opt for warm, easily digestible, cooked meals. Avoid raw, cold foods that can aggravate Vata and accumulate Ama. Eating regular meals at fixed times can help stabilize your Agni. Try incorporating spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel into your meals — these can stimulate digestion and reduce gas.
Taking a tablespoon of aloe vera juice with a pinch of black pepper in the morning on an empty stomach might aid in soothing inflammation and aiding digestion. Ayurveda often emphasizes the importance of Trikatu (a blend of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger) – it supports digestion and can be taken before meals. Mixing half a teaspoon of Triphala powder in warm water and drinking it before bed could help with constipation and detoxification.
In your lifestyle, prioritizing regular sleep patterns and limiting stress is vital. Gentle yoga postures like Pavanamuktasana and twists can aid digestion and relieve gas when practiced regularly. However, maintaining a relaxed state post-meal allows Agni to function optimally.
With persistent symptoms, seeking consultation from a trained ayurveda practitioner or healthcare provider is essential, they can offer a tailored treatment plan. Make sure all recommendations complement any ongoing medical treatments or medications you may be following.
Hello Saumil, Treatment - 1.Abhyaristha -4tsp with 4tsp lukewarm water twice a day after meal 2. Arogyavardhni vati -2-0-2 after meal 3.Udarkalp churna - 1 tsp with lukewarm water at bedtime.

Drink hot milk daily. 6. Drink 2-3 glasses of warm water empty stomach. 7. Always take warm and freshly prepared food. 8. Avoid fried food,spicy ,oily ,fast food.

Lifestyle modifications - Don’t ignore constipation problem as it can to many diseases in the future. Avoid those food items when causes constipation. Walk for atleast 30 minutes after dinner.

Your description of stomach pain on the upper right side with digestive issues like constipation and gas sounds like it could be related to a Vata-Pitta imbalance. This imbalance might be disturbing your Agni, or digestive fire, leading to these symptoms. It’s crucial, however, to first consult a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions, specially because the pain has persisted for several weeks.
Once serious issues are excluded, Ayurveda can assist in restoring balance. Start with dietary adjustments. Focus on warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest. Avoid raw, cold, or highly processed foods. Include more turmeric and ginger in your meals, as they can help enhance digestion and reduce gas formation.
Hydration is important. Drink warm water throughout the day to support digestion and prevent constipation. Avoid carbonated beverages and excessive caffeine. A simple herbal tea made with fennel seeds after meals can help soothe and relax the digestive tract.
For relieving gas, try taking a teaspoon of asafoetida (hing) mixed with warm water after meals. To manage constipation, considering Triphala churna might be beneficial. Take it in a teaspoon mixed with lukewarm water before going to bed, but ensure its suitability with your healthcare provider first.
Practicing regular pranayama, specifically focusing on deep belly breaths, may assist in relieving digestive discomfort and stabilizing the nervous system. Aim for a calm and consistent daily routine with meals at regular intervals to positively affect your digestive health.
Addressing the root cause and maintaining a balanced diet will go a long way in alleviating these symptoms. However, continuous or severe pain requires immediate professional assessment to ensure your safety and wellbeing.
