Ajeerna - #7063
Lately, I’ve been dealing with constant indigestion, bloating, and a heavy feeling in my stomach, no matter what I eat. I think this might be ajeerna, which I’ve read about in Ayurvedic texts. It seems to describe exactly what I’m experiencing. I’d like to know how to approach ajeerna through Ayurveda and whether it can be resolved with simple remedies or if it requires more intense treatments. From what I understand, ajeerna occurs when the digestive fire, or Agni, becomes weak, leading to incomplete digestion. This makes sense in my case because my meals often leave me feeling tired and sluggish instead of energized. I’ve read that herbs like hing, ajwain, and triphala are recommended for ajeerna, but I’m not sure how to use them correctly. Should I make a tea, take them as powders, or use them in my cooking? I’ve also been advised to eat lighter meals, but even that hasn’t completely solved the problem. Could fasting or detoxifying treatments like Panchakarma help with ajeerna? I’ve never tried anything like this before, so I’m a little hesitant. Does anyone here have experience treating ajeerna naturally? How long does it take to restore digestive balance through Ayurveda? And are there any common pitfalls I should avoid, like specific foods or habits that worsen ajeerna?
