Indigestion / Bloating
Indigestion (also known as dyspepsia) and bloating are common digestive issues that affect people of all ages. While occasional discomfort may be harmless, persistent symptoms can indicate deeper imbalances in the digestive system. At Agni Ayurvedic Village, we approach these conditions holistically—aiming not just to suppress the symptoms but to treat the root causes for long-lasting relief.
Causes
- Irregular eating habits
- Overeating or eating incompatible food combinations
- High intake of processed or oily foods
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Stress and anxiety
- Underlying conditions like gastritis, IBS, or gallbladder disorders
From an Ayurvedic perspective, these issues often stem from Mandagni (low digestive fire) and imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas.
Common Symptoms
- Abdominal heaviness after meals
- Gas or belching
- Nausea or occasional vomiting
- Stomach pain or cramps
- Heartburn or acidity
- Loss of appetite
- Feeling full quickly during meals
Possible Complications if Left Untreated
- Chronic gastritis or acid reflux
- Nutritional deficiencies due to poor absorption
- Constipation or irregular bowel movements
- Fatigue and reduced immunity
- Development of more serious gastrointestinal disorders
Timely intervention is crucial to prevent these complications and restore digestive health.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Indigestion and Bloating
In Ayurveda, indigestion is classified under “Ajeerna”, and bloating may be associated with “Adhmana” or “Anaha”, depending on the presence or absence of bowel obstruction. The root cause is considered an imbalance in the Agni (digestive fire), leading to the accumulation of Ama (toxins).
Treatment focuses on rekindling the digestive fire, eliminating toxins, balancing the doshas, and restoring the body’s natural rhythm.
