Gulma In Ayurveda - #7156
For the past six months, I’ve been dealing with unexplained abdominal pain and bloating that comes and goes. After consulting an Ayurvedic doctor, they mentioned it might be related to gulma in Ayurveda. I don’t fully understand what gulma is, but I’m trying to learn more about it and how it can be treated. From what I’ve read, gulma in Ayurveda refers to masses or abnormal growths in the abdominal area caused by imbalances in the doshas. Can gulma be caused by stress or poor diet? I’ve been under a lot of stress recently, and my eating habits have been irregular. Does Ayurveda offer effective treatments for gulma, like herbal remedies or detox therapies? Are treatments like virechana or basti suitable for managing gulma in Ayurveda? I’ve also read that dietary changes are important. Are there specific foods to avoid or include to reduce gulma symptoms? If anyone has faced similar symptoms or has experience with gulma in Ayurveda, I’d appreciate your insights. How long does it usually take to see improvements, and are there any challenges in following Ayurvedic treatments for this condition?
