How to reduce infection in git. - #28424

​Based on the symptoms you’ve described, which include difficulty digesting fats, chronic constipation, low energy, and reduced bowel motility, an Ayurvedic perspective would likely focus on balancing your digestive fire, or Agni 🔥. In Ayurveda, weak Agni is considered the root cause of most digestive issues.

​Ayurvedic Assessment ​Weak Agni (Digestive Fire): Your inability to digest fatty and normal food, as well as the constipation, points to a sluggish digestive system. When Agni is weak, food isn’t properly broken down, leading to the formation of Ama (toxins or undigested food matter).

​Vata Dosha Imbalance: The symptoms of chronic constipation, reduced peristalsis (bowel movement), and a feeling of low energy are all classic signs of an aggravated Vata dosha. Vata governs movement in the body, including the peristaltic action of the intestines. When Vata is out of balance, this movement becomes slow or erratic.

​Pitta Dosha and Fissures: The chronic fissure and associated pain suggest an involvement of Pitta dosha, which governs heat and inflammation. The dryness from Vata and the heat from Pitta can lead to the tearing of tissue. The medicine you mentioned that caused pain might have been too heating, further aggravating the Pitta and leading to the fissure.

​Ayurvedic Recommendations ​The primary goal of an Ayurvedic treatment plan would be to rekindle your Agni, balance the Vata and Pitta doshas, and eliminate Ama.

​Dietary Adjustments ​Eat Warming, Cooked Foods: Avoid cold, raw, and dry foods. Favor warm, well-cooked meals. Steamed vegetables are good, but you can add a small amount of ghee (clarified butter) and digestive spices to make them easier to digest. ​Incorporate Healthy Fats: While you have trouble digesting fats, it’s not about eliminating them entirely but rather choosing the right ones. Use Cow Ghee or sesame oil in small amounts. These fats, when consumed with warming spices, can help lubricate the intestines and support bowel movement. ​Avoid “Heavy” Foods: Stay away from fried, processed, and excessively oily foods, which are hard on the digestive system. ​Use Digestive Spices: Add spices like ginger, cumin, coriander, and fennel to your cooking. These are known as Deepana (Agni-kindling) and Pachana (Ama-digesting) spices.

​Regular Meal Times: Eat at the same time each day to train your digestive system. Avoid snacking between meals.

​Lifestyle and Routine ​Stay Hydrated with Warm Water: Sip on warm water throughout the day. You can add a slice of ginger or a pinch of fennel seeds to it. ​Moderate Physical Activity: Gentle exercise like yoga or walking can stimulate digestion and help with peristalsis.

​Abhyanga (Self-Massage): A daily self-massage with warm sesame oil can be very beneficial for balancing Vata. The massage can help soothe the nervous system and promote regularity.

​Manage Stress: Stress is a major contributor to Vata imbalance. Incorporate practices like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or gentle yoga to calm the mind.

​ For Constipation: Triphala is a well-known herbal blend that is gentle and effective for chronic constipation. It works by toning the digestive tract and is a mild laxative. It is typically taken with warm water before bed.

For Agni and Ama: Herbs like Hingvastak Churna can be used to improve Agni and reduce gas and bloating. -3 gm after food 3 times aday

For Fissures: Topical application of medicated oils like Jatyadi Taila or Shatadhauta Ghrita can help soothe, heal, and lubricate the affected area.

hello mangalam ,

I understand how frustrating it feels when your digestion is weak and constipation keeps coming back. It can make you feel tired, uncomfortable, and even affect your mood and daily routine. What’s happening in your body is that the food you eat isn’t being digested properly, and some waste is staying in your intestines longer than it should. This slows down your energy, makes your bowel movements irregular, and sometimes causes bloating or discomfort. The good news is that this is very common and it can be managed effectively with proper care.

The first step is to cleanse your digestive system gently. This will help remove the toxins and give your digestive fire a chance to strengthen. Once your digestion is working better, we’ll add medicines that help your intestines move regularly and improve absorption of nutrients, so you feel more energetic and lighter. Alongside the medicines, small changes in your diet and daily habits will make a big difference.

Eating warm, cooked foods instead of raw or oily foods, drinking plenty of warm water, walking a little after meals, and keeping stress low will all support your digestive system.

During this process, it’s important to notice your bowel movements, appetite, energy levels, and sleep, because these will tell us how well the treatment is working. If constipation, bloating, or discomfort persists despite following the plan, we can consider additional therapies later to support your bowel movements further.

Remember, this plan works best when you follow it consistently and observe how your body responds. With patience and proper care, your digestion can become strong again, your energy can improve, and your bowel habits can normalize.

Treatment Plan: 1. Ama Pachana (Digestive Cleansing – First 3–5 days) Trikatu Churna – 1 g with warm water, 2 times daily before meals.

2. Internal Medications (After Ama Pachana, for 4–6 weeks) Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tablet after breakfast and 1 tablet after lunch. Haritaki Churna – 3–5 g with warm water before bedtime. Dashmoolarishta – 15 ml after lunch with equal water.

3. Supportive Panchakarma / Kriya if needed Mild Basti therapy can be considered later if constipation persists after 6 weeks.

4. Diet & Lifestyle Guidance Eat cooked, warm, easily digestible food. Include fiber from vegetables, but cooked well. Drink warm water throughout the day. Avoid fried, oily, cold, and junk foods. Light walking 10–15 minutes after meals helps bowel movement.

5. Investigations (if required) Routine CBC, LFT, RFT, blood sugar to rule out other issues. Stool routine if constipation persists.

Do’s and Don’ts : Do eat warm, cooked meals. Do drink plenty of warm water. Do walk after meals. Don’t eat fried or oily food. Don’t skip meals. Don’t consume cold beverages or ice cream. Don’t delay bowel movements. Do take medicines regularly as prescribed. Do maintain stress-free lifestyle. Do follow up after the first course (4–6 weeks).

Follow-up: After 4–6 weeks to review progress, adjust medicines, and consider Basti if needed.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO MANGALAM,

-You are 23 years old and facing chronic constipation, weak digestion, poor tolerance to fatty foods,fissure, low energy -In Ayurveda, this points to Agni-mandya (weak digestive fire) and vata aggravation (especially apana vata in the colon) -When vata increases in the intestines, peristalsis (the natural movement of the gut) becomes irregular or very weak. This causes -incolplete digestion of food (leading to heaviness, fatigue, low energy) -hard, dry stools leading to fissure and pain -less ability to digest oily/heavy foods

In Simple words -Your digestive fire is low, so food is not properly digested -The “wind element” in your intestines is high, so motion is irregular, stool is hard, tissue develops -This combination creates a cycle= weak digestion-> constipation-> fissue-> fear of passing stool-> more constipation

TREATMENT GOALS -Deepana- pachana(rekindling digestive fire)= improve digestion so that even simple foods are digested well -Anulomana (regular downward movement)= normalise apana vata so stool passes easily without straining -Mriduvirechana (gentle cleansing)= remove accumulated toxins and soften stool -Ropana (healing)= heal fissure, reduce pain, burning, and prevent recurrence -Rasayana (rejuvination)= restore pğhyscial + mental energy and prevent long term weakness

PHASE WISE TREATMENT MANAGEMENT

PHASE 1= AMA PACHANA (removing undigested toxins, stimulating digestion) why?= because right now your digestion is weak. If we directly give heavy laxatives or oily formulation, it may worsen your fissue

-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 2 gm with ghee before meals =to reduce gas, improve digestion

-AJAMODADI CHURNA= 2 gm after meals =to digest ama, stimulate ama

-TRIKATU CHURNA= very small pinch with honey once daily if there is heaviness, sluggishness, or kapha coating on tongue

DURATION= 2-3 weeks depending on response EXPECTED EFFECT= less bloating, improved appetite, lighter stool

PHASE 2= ANULOMANA (regulating bowel movement gently) why?= once digestion is stable, we help bowel movement without causing pain

INTERNALLY -TRIPHALA CHURNA = 1 tsp soaked in warm water overnight, drink in morning

-If constipation is still severe= ABHYAARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after dinner

-Castor oil with warm milk= 2-3 ml once/twice a week at bedtime very lubricating, heals fissure

DURATION= 4-6 weeks EXPECTED EFFECT= softer stool, less strain, fissure relief

PHASE 3= ROPANA (healing fissure, strengthening colon) why?= once stool softens, fissure starts healing naturally . local care accelerates this

-Sitz bath daily= warm water + triphala decoction for 10-15 min -Local application= Jatyadi taila afte sitz bath -Gentle oil massage around anus with cow ghee or panchatikta ghee for lubrication

INTERNALLY

-GANDHARVAHASTADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with warm water =mild laxative, vata regulation

-ALOE VERA PULP with warm water in morning- heals mucosa, reduces dryness

PHASE 4= RASAYANA (rejuvination and prevention of recurrence) why?= to restore energy, immunity, and prevent constipation from returning

-CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp daily =if digestion is strong

-ASHWAGANDHA LEHYAM= 1 tsp daily for energy, nervous system strengthening

-SHATAVARI GHRITA= 1 tsp if burning or acidity persists

DURATION= 2-3 months

LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS

DAILY ROUTINE -wake up early brahma muhurta= 5-6 am -drink 1 glass warm water -try to have bowel movement at same time daily -regular light exercise walk 30 min

-OIL MASSAGE= daily sesame oil massage, especially abdomen clockwise and lower back= improves vata balance

-AVOID suppression of urges like flatus, urine, stool= these aggravate fissue/constipation

DIET -warm, soft, light, lubricating food -moong dal khichdi with 1 tsp ghee -soft cooked vegetables - bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin, drumstick -stewed fruits= papaya, soaked raisins, figs, prunes -buttermilk with roasted cumin + rock salt

AVOID -dry, cold, fried food -excess maida, bread, biscuits -raw salads too rough, increase vata -too much spicy/sour foods irritates fissures

YOGA ASANA -vajrasana= sit after meals, aids digestion -pawanmuktasana= removes gas -malasana= squatting, strengthens pelvic floor -bhujangasana= improves digestion

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balance vata -Bhramari= calms nervous system -avoid strong kapalbhati initially can aggravate fissure

HOME REMEDIES -1 tsp ghee in warm milk at night= stool softner -soaked raisins/ figs at bedtime= natural mild laxative -jeera-ajwain-fennel boiled water as daily sip drink -warm castor oil massage around anus for fissure

-Your condition is curable with Ayurvedic management because you are young, and the main issue is functional imbalance not structural damage -The approach is step by step- first kindle digestion, then regulate bowels, then heal fissure, then rejuvinate -patience is important= Ayurvedic treatment may take 2-3 months for lasting results, but it aims at root correction, not just temporary relief

DO FOLLOW COSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
