Given your symptoms, it sounds like you might be dealing with an imbalance in your digestive system, believe to be related to the presence of worms, as well as a possible aggravation of Vata and possibly Kapha dosha. In Ayurveda certain formulations and practices can help in this scenario, but it’s crucial to approach this condition with both dietary and herbal treatment.
Consider using Krimikuthar Ras, a classical Ayurvedic formulation known for treating intestinal worms. Generally, it is taken in tablet form. You might start with one tablet twice a day after meals, but it’s essential to follow dosage advice from an Ayurvedic physician or health practitioner as they can provide personalised guidance.
Additionally, Vidangasava, an Ayurvedic alcoholic preparation can also be helpful. Typically, this is taken in a dose of 10-15 ml with equal quantity of water, once or twice daily after food.
Your diet plays a significant role. Incorporate warm, easy-to-digest foods that are light on stomach, such as plain rice with ghee and cooked vegetables. Avoid heavy oils, dairy, cold, and processed foods, as they can aggravate Vata and inhibit your digestive Agni (digestive fire), worsening the gas formation.
Ginger tea or a ginger infusion can stimulate digestion and should be sipped throughout the day. Additionally, a daily dose of Triphala (half teaspoon with warm water before bed) can aid in regulating bowel movements and overall digestion.
Maintaining regular meal times, consuming sufficient water (boiled and cooled), and including mild physical activity like a short walk after meals, can help in balancing Vata, reducing gas and supporting proper bowel movements.
Above all, if symptoms persist, it would be wise to consult an Ayurveda practitioner for a complete assessment and tailored treatment plan. It’s always best to approach with a combination of lifestyle, dietary adjustments and appropriate herbal medications.
Given the symptoms you’ve described, it sounds like there’s an imbalance in your digestive fire, or agni, along with the presence of intestinal parasites. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, balancing the agni and alleviating the presence of krimis (worms) is crucial to addressing these issues.
For intestinal worms, Vidanga (Embelia ribes) is indeed a valuable herb. Vidanga churna can be taken in a dose of 1-2 grams with lukewarm water, preferably before meals, twice daily. This can help to expel the worms and support intestinal health.
In addition to Vidanga, Krimikuthar Ras can be beneficial. It should be consumed as per the guidelines provided by a practitioner, typically around 125 mg, once or twice a day, best taken with honey or warm water after meals.
To further improve your digestive function and reduce gas, you might consider using Hing (asafoetida) in your diet. Add a pinch of it to lukewarm water and take it after meals. It acts as a carminative, helping reduce gas formation.
Improving your diet: try avoiding foods that are hard-to-digest like processed foods, heavy meats, and excessive dairy. Instead, opt for light, warm, and freshly made meals, with a focus on easily digestible grains and vegetables.
Since the condition’s affecting bowel movements too, consider Triphala churna: 1 teaspoon mixed in warm water before bed. It helps regulate bowel activity and reduce bloating.
Finally, ensure adequate hydration; warm water mixed with lemon taken on an empty stomach can also stimulate digestion.
If symptoms persist or worsen, immediate consultation with a healthcare provider is crucial. Detailing these symptoms can help in ruling out severe conditions like intestinal blockages or infections.
