Gastrointestinal problems encompass a variety of issues affecting the digestive system, including symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, gas, and irregular bowel movements. These issues may arise from dietary indiscretions, stress, and lifestyle factors. In Ayurvedic practice, gastrointestinal imbalances are often linked to disturbances in the Agni (digestive fire) and imbalances in the Pitta or Vata doshas, which can disrupt proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
Try these simple and effective remedies to improve your gut health:
Add a pinch of asafoetida to a cup of warm water or incorporate it into meals. Asafoetida is known for its carminative properties that help relieve gas and bloating.
Eating slowly, chewing thoroughly, and avoiding overeating can significantly improve digestion and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
Gently massage your abdomen in a circular motion with warm oil (such as sesame or coconut oil) to help stimulate digestion, ease gas, and promote bowel movement.
Practice specific yoga postures like Pawanmuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose), Trikonasana (Triangle Pose), and gentle twists. Deep breathing exercises (pranayama) such as Kapalabhati can help improve digestion and reduce bloating.
Incorporate a balanced diet rich in fiber—like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables—to support healthy digestion. Limit processed foods, heavy meals, and known irritants to ease gastrointestinal stress.
Integrate natural sources of probiotics, such as yogurt, kefir, or fermented vegetables, into your diet to enhance gut flora and support overall digestive health.
