Hello I understand your concern irregular digestion, watery stools followed by constipation, white coating on the tongue, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth can be very discomforting. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

The main Ayurvedic goals are-

1. Ama Pachana – Digest and eliminate the accumulated toxins. 2. Agni Deepana – Rekindle digestive fire to prevent further Ama formation. 3. Vata-Pitta Shamana – Restore balance in the intestines. 4. Koshtha Shuddhi – Ensure smooth and regular bowel evacuation. 5. Rasayana Support – Strengthen metabolism and promote healthy weight.

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION

👉Lukewarm water with ½ tsp honey + pinch of dry ginger (shunthi) Morning (on empty stomach) ( Stimulates Agni, clears mucus, and initiates mild detoxification.)

1 Aampachak Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food ( Digestive stimulant and Ama pachak. Continue for 10–14 days)

2 Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with lukewarm water after lunch ( Balances Pitta, relieves acidity, supports proper stool formation )

3 Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water or ½ tsp with ghee at bed time (Promotes bowel regularity, clears Ama, and gradually removes tongue coating)

Optional (if gas/bloating persists):

Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with ghee before meals ( Improves digestion and relieves abdominal heaviness)

✅DIET MODIFICATION

✅ Include

Moong dal khichdi, launki soup, rice gruel, and mung dal water. Use jeera, ajwain, hing, black pepper, dry ginger in daily cooking. Add 1 tsp cow ghee in both lunch and dinner — lubricates intestine & balances Vata. Warm water sipping therapy: drink lukewarm water throughout the day.

❌ Avoid:

Cold foods, refrigerated drinks, milkshakes, curd, bakery & fried items. Skipping meals or long fasting. Raw salads or heavy legumes (chana, rajma) till digestion improves.

✅LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION

👉Abhyanga (oil massage) Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil, especially on abdomen and lower back. ( Improves Vata flow and helps regulate bowel movements.)

Yoga & Pranayama Vajrasana (after meals for 5 min) Pawanmuktasana, Apanasana – to relieve gas and bloating. Kapalbhati & Anulom Vilom (10 mins daily) Sleep:

Maintain a regular sleep routine (10 pm–6 am). Avoid staying up late or sleeping during the day

Warm Regards, Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Your experience of having alternating digestive issues may be related to an imbalance in your doshas, likely Vata and Pitta, disturbed by Ama—the toxic residue that can result from improper digestion. The symptom of a white-coated tongue and the feeling of a rotten taste strongly suggests the presence of Ama. While the remedies you’ve used like Sanjivani Bati and Aampachak Vati are indeed beneficial in reducing loose motions and aiding digestion, the constipation and remaining Ama on the tongue indicate that you might need a slightly different approach to fully restore balance.

First, focusing on your diet is crucial. Incorporate warm, easily digestible foods to support your agni (digestive fire) without overburdening it. Warm cooked grains such as rice and moong dal khichdi, lightly cooked vegetables like carrots and beets can support digestion. Avoid raw foods, processed snacks, and cold beverages that can aggravate Vata and induce further imbalance.

Hydrate adequately with warm water, sipped throughout the day. This can assist in softening stools and ocouraging regular bowel movements. You might also consider Triphala, an Ayurvedic herbal blend known to gently cleanse the colon and aid digestion. Take it at bedtime in warm water.

Regular routine is important to keep Vata balanced. Sleep early and wake up with sunrise. Engage in light, consistent physical activity like walking or yoga to maintain proper digestive function.

To address the lingering Ama, start your day with a glass of warm water with a teaspoon of honey and lemon, which can aid detoxification. Monitor portion sizes to avoid overeating.

If symptoms persist or worsen, particularly if you remain constipated or the coating on tongue thickens further—consult with a healthcare provider. Sometimes a more detailed examination might be required to evaluate any underlying issues beyond what remedies can provide. Prioritize health and ensure you have medical oversight to guide you safely through treatment.

HELLO,

Your digestive system has become weak ad irregular When the digestive fire is weak -food does not get properly digested -It leaves behind a sticky, toxic residue known as ama -This ama circulates in the body and causes symptoms such as –white coating on tongue –rotten / bitter taste In mouth – irregular stools - sometimes water, sometimes hard –lethargy , heaviness , bloating or low appetite

In your case, the first phase was ama = agnimandya (low digestion), which.caused loose motions. After taking strong digestives (sanjivani vati. amapachak vati) the ama started clearing out- but now vata has increased, resulting in dryness and constipation

So your condition is now a traditional phase between ama pachana (digestive detox) and agni deepana (strengthening digestive fire)

TREATMENT GOALS -remove remaining ama (toxins) -stregthen digestive fire -pacify vata and pitta without disturbing each other -normalize bowel movement -prevent recurrence of irregular digestion -rebuild nutrition and weight gradually

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) AMAPACHAK VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals for 7 days =digests remaining ama, supports agni

2) SANJEEVANI VATI= 1 tab once after lunch for 5 days =strong detoxifier, burns ama quickly

3) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA = 1/2 tsp with ghee or warm water after meals for 15 days =reduces gas, improves appetite, pacifies vata

4) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp soaked overnight in warm water drink in morning =gentle colon cleanser, corrects constipation

5) AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1/2 tsp after meals with warm water =reduces pitta, improves taste, prevents acidity

6) KUTAJGHAN VATI= 1 tab afte lunch if stool remains loose =balances bowel , anti diarrhoea and anti microbial

EXTERNAL THERAPIES

1) OIL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil 15 min before bath daily =reduce svata, improves digestion aids detox

2) NAVEL OILING= apply 2-3 drops of warm sesame oil I navel daily before sleep =soften stool, nourishes digestion

3) GANDUSHA= hold sesame oil in mouth 5 mi daily then spit out =removes toxins from mouth, clears taste

4) TRIPHALA GARGLE= reduces coating on tongue and bad taste

HOME REMEDIES -dry ginger + lemon water= in morning, warm water with a pinch of dry ginger and few drops lemon improves digestion -Jeera ajwain saunf water= sip warm during he day to relieve gas and bloating -cow ghee= 1 tsp daily with meals keep vata I check and helps bowel movement -avoid cold food ,leftover, dairy at night, and heavy combination. like milk with sour fruits -prefer warm, freshly cooked meals

LIFESTYLE AND ROUTINE -wake up early -promotes bowel movement naturally -drink warm water after waking to flush toxins -avoid skiping meals- eat at regular times to stabilize digestion -avoid sleeping immediately after lunch - walk 100 steps slowly afte reating -maintain mental clamness= stress disturbs digestion deeply -sleep 7-8 hours at night, avoid late night screen time

DIET -khichdi, with ghee -lauki, tori, pumpkin,carort, spinachsoup -warm soups and rice gruel -ripe fruits= papaya, banana, apple stewed, pomegranate -spices= cumin, coriander, fennel,ajwain , turmeric ginger

AVOID -deep fried junk stale food -ciurd and sour food -cold drinks, ice creams -raw vegetables and salads -excess tea, coffee, refined sugar

YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasana-removes gas -vajrasana= aids digestion after meals -trikonasana, bhujangasana, and marjariasana- regulat metabolism -paschimottanasana= helps in mild constipation

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana -bhramair -kapalbhati

Your condition is reversible with proper diet, rest, and digestive balancing avoid strong herbal medicines on your own once symptoms ease- balance is more important than forceful detox

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
