Kashya - #3036
I’ve been experiencing a consistent bitter taste in my mouth, especially after eating or drinking anything, and someone mentioned it might be due to an imbalance referred to as kashya in Ayurveda. Can anyone explain what kashya is and how it relates to taste imbalances or digestive issues? This bitter taste makes it difficult to enjoy meals, and sometimes it’s accompanied by a dry mouth or even slight nausea. From what I’ve read, kashya is one of the six rasas (tastes) in Ayurveda, and when out of balance, it can indicate issues like poor digestion or pitta imbalance. Does this sound right? How is kashya treated in Ayurveda? Are there specific herbs, teas, or dietary adjustments that can help neutralize this bitter sensation? I’ve already started drinking more water and avoiding overly spicy or fried foods, but the issue persists. If anyone has dealt with kashya-related problems, how long did it take to resolve? Did you need to combine herbal remedies with lifestyle changes? Any tips or insights about managing kashya would be greatly appreciated.
