Hello, Stomach aches following a meal of brinjal (eggplant) can often be attributed to its heavy, slightly “vayu” (gas-forming) nature, especially when consumed at night when digestion naturally slows down. In Ayurveda, brinjal is considered Ushna (heating) and can aggravate Pitta and Vata. If not cooked with digestive spices, it can lead to Ajirna (indigestion) and Vistambha (gas/bloating). The goal is to stimulate the digestive fire (Agni) and clear the accumulated toxins (Ama). Prescription : 1. Abhayarishtam: A fermented liquid that helps in relieving flatulence and promoting easy bowel movements. Dose: 15–20 ml mixed with an equal amount of lukewarm water, twice daily after food. 2. Hinguvadi Gulika: This tablet contains Asafoetida (Hingu) and is excellent for relieving abdominal distension and colicky pain. Dose: 1–2 tablets crushed and taken with lukewarm water or buttermilk. 3. Dhanwantharam Pill: Highly effective for “Vata-type” stomach discomfort and bloating. Dose: 1–2 pills sucked or swallowed with cumin-infused water. Apply a heating pad to the abdomen to relax the muscles. Sip on warm water boiled with a small piece of fresh ginger to aid digestion. Stay away from dairy or cold drinks for the next 12 hours to let your digestion reset.
Fasting till you feel hungry. Eat light food like dal khichadi, buttermilk and fruits.
