Prativa ji, your symptoms suggest an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas, along with weak Agni (digestive fire) and accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the stomach. Here are Ayurvedic remedies to address gastritis and gas issues:
1. Herbal Remedies: Avipattikar Churna: Take 1 tsp with warm water before meals to balance Pitta and relieve acidity. Hingvastak Churna: Mix ½ tsp with ghee and eat before meals to improve digestion and reduce gas formation. Amla Juice: Drink 10-15 ml of fresh amla juice with water daily to soothe the stomach lining. 2. Dietary Recommendations: Eat light, warm, and easily digestible foods like moong dal khichdi, soups, and steamed vegetables. Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods, as well as tea, coffee, and carbonated drinks. Include buttermilk with cumin powder and fresh ginger in your meals for better digestion. Drink warm water with a pinch of ajwain and rock salt after meals to relieve bloating. 3. Lifestyle Tips: Meal Timing: Eat small, regular meals to avoid overloading the stomach. Pranayama: Practice Nadi Shodhana and Kapalabhati to reduce stress and improve digestion. Yoga Poses: Perform Pawanmuktasana (Wind-relieving pose) and Vajrasana after meals for better digestion. 4. Avoid These Triggers: Avoid eating too fast or while stressed. Do not consume cold drinks or foods, as they weaken digestion. Follow these remedies consistently for a few weeks. If the problem persists, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized treatment. Wishing you a healthy recovery!
In Ayurveda, your condition seems to be a result of Agni (digestive fire) being weak and imbalanced, leading to Vata and Pitta dosha disturbances. This causes symptoms like gas, bloating, and burning sensations. To address this, focus on strengthening your digestion. Start with a warm, light diet that includes easily digestible foods such as khichdi, steamed vegetables, and soups. Avoid cold, greasy, and heavy foods. Herbal remedies like Triphala, Ajwain (carom seeds), and Ginger with honey can help improve digestion and reduce gas. Drink warm water throughout the day and have a cup of warm cumin or fennel tea after meals to aid digestion and prevent bloating. For your stomach pain and acidity, Amla (Indian gooseberry) can be soothing. Manage stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or gentle yoga, as stress often exacerbates digestive issues. Additionally, avoid overeating and try to eat at regular intervals, allowing your body time to digest properly. If symptoms persist, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan is recommended.
First off, it’s tough dealing wih such uncomfortable symptoms for so long, and I really feel for ya. Gastritis can seriously mess with quality of life. Alopathy sometimes just doesn’t cut it, but Ayurveda offers some avenues worth exploring.
So, sounds like you might have an imbalance in Pitta and maybe Vata doshas, given the burning and gas. Let’s see some pointers. First thing - diet. Try focusing on cooling foods. Avoid spicy, fried or hot stuff like chillies, tomatoes or citrus (yeah, they tend to inflame Pitta more). Instead, favor cooling, sattvic foods - think cucumbers, sweet fruits without youghurt (yoghurt can irritate, better skip). For grains, favor basmati rice or quinoa.
Sip on cumin or coriander tea throughout the day. It can soothe your digestive system, helping settle down Pitta and encourage lighter digestion. Basically, boil a teaspoon of cumin seeds or coriander seeds in around 2 cups of water and drink it warm or room temp.
Ayurveda loves routine, so aim to eat meals at the same time every day if possible. This helps regulate your digestive fire or ‘agn’. Small, frequent meals might be easier on your system right now, than big ones.
Stress management matters too. Deep breathing or pranayama in the morning - maybe 5-10 mins, helps balance Vata and calm the mind. You can also fit a little yoga in. Poses like Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose) are not just funny named, they can help release the trapped gas.
Finally, try a high-quality Triphala supplement at bedtime might help regularize bowel movements and reduce gas. Just stay patient, right? Changes might take a little while, but Ayurveda is all about steady, sustainable shifts.
In case any symptom worsens, though, persisting pain specially - don’t hesitate to get medical attention right away. Ayurveda can be an excellent complimentary approach but listens to your body above all.
