Gondh is indeed a natural resin, often derived from the tree called Acacia arabica, among others. In Ayurveda, it’s valued for its nourishing properties, especially for Vata imbalances, which might be contributing to your digestive issues and low energy. It’s known for its strenghtening nature, helping to support the sapta dhatus, particularly the asthi (bones) and the majja dhatu (nervous system).
Given your symptoms, gondh could be beneficial due to its heating nature that may enhance agni, the digestive fire. However, bloating can sometimes be due to Vata disturbances, so balancing is key. You might consider integrating gondh as part of a bigger dietary and lifestyle adjustment aimed at Vata pacification.
Starting with small doses is wise. You could try gondh in powdered form, perhaps 1/4 teaspoon mixed in warm milk or water, taken once daily in the morning. Though gondh laddus are a more traditional form. They’re made with gondh, ghee, dry fruits, and spices. They not only taste good but also can provide the energy boost you’re seeking.
Always monitor how your body reacts and adjust accordingly. If you notice increased bloating or discomfort, it might be wise to stop and re-evaluate. Importantly though, diet and lifestyle should also focus on warm, moist foods, avoiding gas-producing foods, and maintaining regular eating schedules to further support digestion.
If symptoms persists or worsen, consulting with a practitioner is essential. And remember, while natural, gondh may interact with your condition based on your unique prakriti, so use cautiously.
