Ayurvedic treatment involves holistic treatment that has been practised for thousands of years to treat different diseases, including digestion, and numerous people have been greatly helped through this treatment. The treatment is done by Ayurvedic practitioners who have great determination to treat people from all angles of the world with natural resources. As you read this blog, you will understand how Ayurveda treats digestive problems using different methods and studies.
By balancing the doshas
Digestive problems usually arise because of an imbalance in the three doshas, which are Vata, which governs movement and its imbalance causes bloating, the second dosha is Pitta, which governs heat and metabolism and its imbalance, causes acidity and heat burn, and the third dosha is Kapha, which governs structure and its imbalance, causes sluggish digestion and heat burn. By balancing these doshas, the digestive problem is alleviated.
By strengthening agni (digestive fire)
This stage of treatment involves implementing an integrated approach of a different personalised diet and mindful eating, incorporating specific herbs and spices. This process is essential for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and eliminating food effectively. The person is suggested to eat warm cooked foods, to add digestive spices and avoid cold and processed food that can worsen the situation.
By eliminating Ama
When the digestive system is weak, the undigested food accumulates in the body as toxins. In this stage, the aim of the treatment is to eliminate the toxins to prevent future buildup and promote efficient digestion. It involves different exercises or therapies such as yoga, pranayama and panchakarma, which aim at clearing the channels and restoring metabolism.
