It sounds like there’s a mismatch between the remedies and your current digestive condition. Hingwashtak Churna is traditionally used to balance Vata by igniting the digestive fire, or Agni. However, if your Agni is weak or if you have an underlying Pitta imbalance, taking heating substances like Hingwashtak Churna or ghee may conversely aggravate your symptoms. This can happen if there is already inflammation or an excess heat in your digestive tract.
To address the gas and bloating, you should consider a few adjustments. Firstly, try reducing the dosage of Hingwashtak Churna to a very small amount, or dilute it with warm water. Evaluate if this sits with your digestion any better. Alternatively, you could pause its use entirely for a few days to see if symptoms improve.
You might also try lighter digestion aids. Ajwain (carom seeds) with rock salt could be carminative without too much heat. Simmer 1 tsp of ajwain in water and drink the tea after meals. Chewing on fennel seeds post-meal can also help.
A gharme water-ghee combination may be too intense if your digestive capacity is compromised. Opt for lighter fats, like adding a drop of sesame oil in cooking, instead of direct ghee intake.
Observe eating patterns too. Eat at consistent times, focus on easily digestible, warm meals, and minimize raw foods till your digestion stabilizes. Be mindful of stress, as it can exacerbate Vata-type imbalances.
If symptoms persist, consider a comprehensive dosha assessment with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. Persistent digestive trouble may indicate a more complex imbalance needing personalized treatment.
