Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 DIGESTIVE DISORDERS: Ayurveda considers indigestion to be the root cause of all most all the diseases. So proper management of digestive impairment in the initial stage itself prevents the onset of many other major illnesses in later stages of life. Hyperacidity: Caused due to derangement of digestive fire by vitiated Pitta energy is characterized by the inflammation and irritation of the gastric mucosa. The treatment mainly includes dietary restrictions, internal medicines to pacify the aggravated Pitta energy. Persons with chronic history may be advised to undergo some detoxifying Panchakarma procedures. In all the cases the persons are advised to practice Yoga. Meditation to minimize the level of stress and anxiety, which are considered to be the Major causative factors of Hyperacidity in the modern world. Ulcers: Too much of hurry, worry and spicy curries which stimulate excessive secretion of gastric juice destroy the mucous lining along the digestive tract causing sores/ulcers. The primary objective of the Ayurvedic treatment is to bring this ulcer into the condition of healing sore. Snehapana or intake of medicated ghee has excellent healing effect when advised along with few dietary instructions such as frequent well balanced meals, avoiding carbonated drinks alcohol, tea, coffee and managing worries through positive attitude and stress management techniques. Constipation: While inadequate fiber and water intakes are the common culprits, a hectic lifestyle is also often to blame for this nagging health problem. The condition results due to derangement of digestive fire followed by vitiation of Apana Vayu Energy situated in the pelvic region and below.
