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.
