Ayurvedic Medicine In English - #3913

Anonymously

So, I’ve been struggling with some digestion problems for almost a year now, and I’m feeling super stuck. It started with just bloating, but now it’s full-on discomfort after meals, weird stomach noises, and sometimes, even acid reflux. I went to a regular doctor, and they just gave me antacids and said it’s nothing to worry about. But those antacids don't help much, and honestly, I don’t want to depend on them long-term. Someone in my yoga class suggested trying Ayurvedic medicine. I’ve been reading up on it a little, but the problem is, most of the resources are not in English, and I don’t speak any Indian languages. That’s why I’m looking for Ayurvedic medicine in English. I need to understand what’s happening to my body, what’s causing all these issues, and how Ayurvedic principles could help fix it. I eat relatively healthy (at least I think I do?). My diet is mostly home-cooked food, but I snack on chips or biscuits sometimes. I drink tea like 3 times a day. I don’t smoke or drink alcohol. Could my eating habits be messing with my digestion? Or is there something deeper that Ayurvedic medicine in English could explain better? Another thing I want to mention is that I feel tired all the time. I don’t know if it’s related to my digestion or just work stress, but I’ve read that Ayurveda connects digestion to overall energy. How true is that? If I start following Ayurvedic practices, how soon can I expect results? The thing is, it’s overwhelming to find Ayurvedic medicine in English that explains everything step-by-step. Do I need to know my dosha for this? And if yes, how do I find that out without all the complicated stuff? Are there simple ways to figure out what kind of foods I should avoid? Can you recommend specific Ayurvedic remedies or lifestyle tips for someone who’s completely new to this? Also, how do I know if an Ayurvedic product is safe? A lot of stuff online is confusing. Any trusted sources where I can learn about Ayurvedic medicine in English?

It sounds like your digestive issues, including bloating, discomfort, and acid reflux, could be related to an imbalance in your digestive system, which Ayurveda refers to as Agni (digestive fire). Ayurveda emphasizes the connection between digestion and overall energy, so digestive issues can lead to fatigue. Your eating habits, such as snacking on chips and biscuits, could aggravate your digestion, especially if you have an imbalance in Vata (associated with dryness and irregularity) or Pitta (linked to acidity and inflammation). To address this, Ayurveda recommends focusing on warm, easy-to-digest foods, avoiding cold, heavy, or processed snacks, and practicing mindful eating. Herbal remedies like Triphala and Ajwain can support digestion, while lifestyle changes like managing stress, drinking warm teas (like ginger or fennel), and maintaining regular meal times can help. To figure out your dosha, there are simple online quizzes available that can provide insights into your body type and imbalances. For safe Ayurvedic products, look for trusted brands that follow good manufacturing practices, and consult a certified Ayurvedic practitioner if possible. To get started with Ayurvedic practices, consider reading books or articles by respected Ayurvedic doctors like Dr. Vasant Lad or Dr. David Frawley for reliable guidance in English.
