hello jatin ,
What you are feeling bloating, gas, acidity, and stomach discomfort usually happens when your digestive fire (Agni) is weak and toxins (Ama) start accumulating. Stress, irregular meals, fried or spicy food, and late-night eating make this worse. Ayurveda can help by improving digestion, clearing toxins, and calming your stomach. With proper medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes, these symptoms usually reduce in 1–2 weeks.
Ama Pachana (first 5–7 days if digestion is weak) Trikatu churna – ½ tsp with honey after lunch once daily. Hingvastaka churna – ½ tsp with warm water before food, twice daily.
Internal Medicines (after 4–5 days, continue for 2–3 weeks) Avipattikara churna – 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime (reduces acidity and gas). Dhatri Lauha – 1 tablet after breakfast and lunch (strengthens digestion and relieves bloating). Jeerakadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water after lunch (improves digestion and prevents gas).
External Support (if needed) Gentle abdominal massage with warm sesame or coconut oil before bed. Warm water fomentation over stomach to reduce cramps.
Lifestyle & Diet Eat small, frequent meals; avoid skipping food. Avoid fried, oily, junk, and overly spicy food. Include cooked vegetables, soups, porridge, and buttermilk. Drink 2–2.5 L water daily. Avoid lying down immediately after meals; walk 10–15 min after eating. Manage stress with deep breathing, yoga, or meditation.
Investigations (if symptoms persist or worsen) Complete blood count (CBC) Liver function test (LFT) Upper GI endoscopy if severe pain or reflux H. pylori test (if recurring acidity)
With consistent medicine, diet, and lifestyle changes, your stomach discomfort and gas usually improve within 1–2 weeks.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO JATIN,
What’s happening in your stomach is mainly due to imbalance of agni(digestive fire) and accumulation of ama (undigested toxins) -Gas and bloating= when food is not digested properly, it ferments in the intestine, producing excess air (vata disturbance) -Acidity and burning= Overheating of digestion due to wrong food, irregular meals, or stress increases pitta -Pain and heaviness= the body struggles to process what’s eaten, creating a mix of Vata+pitta imbalance, with Ama sticking in the gut.
So the root is weak digestion and wrong food/lifestyle aggravating vata-pitta
TREATMENT GOALS -improve digestion - strengthen agni and clear ama -reduce bloating and acidity- pacify vata and pitta -cleanse the stomach and intestines= regulate bowel movement -support long term balance- correct lifestyle and diet so the problem doesn’t return.

For issues like gas, acidity, and stomach pain, Ayurveda often views these as signs of an imbalance in the digestive fire (Agni) and potentially a vitiation of the Pitta dosha. This can result in excessive heat and irritability in the digestive tract. Here’s a deeper dive into some practical steps that align with Ayurvedic wisdom to help alleviate your discomfort:
First, let’s consider dietary adjustments. Prioritize meals that are easy to digest and soothing to the gut. Warm, cooked foods are generally preferred over raw and cold items, as they support the Agni. Opt for a soft diet, incorporating items like cooked rice or barley, stewed apples or pears, and cooked vegetables like zucchini, pumpkin, and squash. Avoid spicy, fried, and fermented foods as these can further aggravate heat and gas in the stomach.
Drinking herbal teas can also be beneficial. Infusions made from coriander seeds, fennel, and cumin can support healthy digestion. Boil a teaspoon of each seed in a cup of water and sip this after meals. This can help calm excess Pitta and soothe any inflammation.
Consider incorporating Ayurvedic herbs that support digestion. Triphala, Avipattikar churna, and Amalaki are often recommended, but it’s wise to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for specific guidance and dosage adjusted to your constitution.
Regarding lifestyle modifications, eating at regular times and chewing food thoroughly are essential practices. Avoid heavy meals late at night, which can burden the digestion. Allow 3-4 hours between meals, and take care to eat in a peaceful environment, as stress and multitasking can disrupt digestive processes.
If these self-care strategies do not lead to improvement, or if your pain intensifies, it is crucial to seek professional medical assessment to rule out any underlying conditions that may require treatment. Ayurveda emphasizes balance and harmony in the body, but recognizing when additional medical input is necessary is also key for health.
Gas, acidity, and stomach discomfort often arise from an imbalance in the body’s doshas, primarily the Pitta and Vata doshas. This imbalance can disrupt your digestive fire or ‘agni,’ affecting the metabolic processes. Here’s a few practical steps rooted in the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition you can take to address these symptoms:
1. Dietary Adjustments: Reduce intake of spicy, oily, and processed foods, which can aggravate Pitta. Instead, opt for cooling, light, and easy-to-digest foods, such as cooked vegetables, rice, and lentils. Incorporate cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds into your meals. They help to calm Vata and Pitta, thereby improving digestion.
2. Regular Meals: Eat at regular intervals to maintain your digestive rhythm. Avoid large gaps between meals which can lead to gas accumulation. Small, balanced meals can keep ‘agni’ steady and prevent excessive gas formation.
3. Hydration: Drink warm water with a pinch of ginger throughout the day. It can aid digestion and ease stomach discomfort. Avoid cold drinks, which can dampen your digestive fire.
4. Ayurvedic Formulations: Triphala churna is an effective herbal remedy in managing digestive issues. Take half a teaspoon with warm water before bedtime to aid digestion and cleanse the system.
5. Physical Activity: Gentle yoga or walking can ease bloating by facilitating the movement of trapped gas. Engage in light physical activity regularly, but avoid strenuous exercises right after meals.
For persistent or severe symptoms, please consult with a healthcare professional, as these could indicate a more serious underlying condition. Immediate consultation becomes essential if you experience intense pain, unexplained weight loss, or bloody stools. Addressing root causes early is vital for long-term health.
