●Medicinal Formula IBS Balancing ▪︎Shatavari - 1 part Kamdudha - 1% part Shankha Bhasma - 1/2 part Arrowroot - 2 parts These four together: Soothes intestinal irritation, reduces acidity Strengthens the colon, stabilizes Vata ●How to consume this mixture: Take 1/2 teaspoon twice a day with a little lukewarm water, immediately after meals. This time is chosen because the digestive system and digestive tract can then absorb the medicine properly. ●Vata-Pacifying Tea Flaxseed Tea: Boil 1 teaspoon of flaxseed in 1 cup of water, strain, and drink before bed. It: Soothes the intestines Reduces Vata dryness Soothes pain and cramps ▪︎Digestion Support - 2 Capsules twice daily, with warm water after meals. ▪︎Kutajghan Vati - 2 Tablets twice daily, with warm water after meals. ▪︎Sanjivani Vati - 2 Tablets twice daily, with warm water after meals. ▪︎Pitta Balance - 1 Capsule twice daily, with warm water after meals. ▪︎Fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh juices should be consumed- as it reduces the inflammation in the stomach. ▪︎Avoid the consumption of caffeine, alcohol and carbonated beverages. ▪︎If suffering from gas-avoid foods that worsen the gas-beans, cabbage and citrus fruits. ▪︎Drink ginger tea or chew ginger - reduces the inflammation because of IBS. ▪︎A Decoction of flaxseed - as it has anti- inflammatory and antioxidant properties ▪︎Psyllium Husks (Isabgol) with a half cup of fresh yogurt one hour after dinner it has cold potency which will pacify the pitta dosha. ▪︎Stress is directly connected with IBS. When going through stress is mentally and emotionally tense. The colon which is the main part of the intestine has vast numbers of veins which are directly interconnected with a brain. These nerves control the normal functioning of the colon but can cause abdominal discomfort at the stressful condition. Colon can be excessively responsible for slight stress or conflict. To such a condition, you need to do some stress reduction training and relaxation therapies. Regular exercise and some yoga practice can also change a stressful situation.
