Heal Digestive Woes with Ayurved: Your Path to Lasting Wellness
Digestive Disorders According to Vashishtha Ayurveda
The digestion of food is one of the most vital processes in the human body. In Vashishtha Ayurveda, digestion depends on the balance of the tridosha (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and the strength of the digestive fire (Agni). When any one, two, or all three doshas become imbalanced and the digestive fire weakens, diseases of the alimentary canal can develop.
Symptoms of Digestive Disorders:
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Fever
Common Diseases:
- Jaundice
- Hepatitis
- Cholecystitis
- Gallstones
- Appendicitis
Ayurvedic Treatment Approaches:
- Restoring Digestive Fire (Agni):
- Ensuring the digestive fire is functioning optimally.
- Balancing the Tridosha:
- Addressing imbalances in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
- Diet Management:
- Customizing the diet according to the specific disease and the individual’s Prakriti (constitution).
Role of Panchakarma:
Panchakarma treatments, such as Basti (medicated enema), Virechan (purgation), and Vaman (emesis), can be administered based on the season, the patient’s Prakriti, and the intensity of the disease. These treatments help detoxify and rejuvenate the body, aiding in the management and prevention of digestive disorders.
By focusing on these holistic approaches, Vashishtha Ayurved aims to restore balance and promote optimal digestive health.
