For your gastric issues, Ayurveda suggests balancing your Pitta dosha, as it governs digestion. You may benefit from: Herbal Remedies: Triphala, Cumin-Coriander-Fennel tea, and ginger can help with digestion and reduce acidity. Dietary Adjustments: Avoid spicy, oily, and heavy foods. Include light, easily digestible meals like rice, khichdi, and cooked vegetables. Lifestyle: Maintain a regular eating schedule, avoid overeating, and try gentle yoga for better digestion. Shoulder Pain: Consider Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame oil for relaxation and pain relief. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner can offer more personalized guidance based on your symptoms.

Gastric issues causing shoulder pain might seem odd, but it's actually not that uncommon. In Ayurveda, there's a concept called "Ama" which is essentially undigested food or toxins that accumulate in the body, possibly causing discomfort in unexpected places like your shoulders. You mention constant burping, so let's start there. This could suggest an imbalance in your "Vata" dosha, responsible for gas and movement. Now, here's what you could try: First thing, focus on strengthening your "Agni," or digestive fire, so your body can process food better. Sip warm ginger tea before meals; it helps stimulate digestion naturally. Also, think about your eating pattern. Eating heavy meals late in the evening? Might be worth shifting to earlier, lighter ones. Your digestive system works best when the sun is up and laziness just before bed won't help. Also, avoid cold foods and drinks which can dampen your Agni. Think like, warm soups or lightly cooked veggies instead. Stress, too, plays a role in gastric discomfort. Daily routine of Pranayama or deep-breathing exercises can be remarkably helpful for calming both your mind and body, easing Vata disturbances. You might also wanna ask yourself if you've had enough water — dehydration can worsen digestive woes. Mindful movement, like a gentle walk after meals, can also support digestion and circulation, potentially easing that shoulder pain. Pavanmuktasana (wind-relieving pose) in yoga might assist with the gas part, while some gentle shoulder rolls could help with tension there. And about the shoulder pain, if it's an intense or persistent kind, it's wise to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any serious conditions. Always keep an open line of communication with any healthcare provider you're seeing, and please feel free to share any recent lifestyle changes that could be influencing your symptoms, OK?
