Ayurveda has for centuries helped in the aid of digestion and gastro-care. Many of these practices continue to exist in the form of choornams and herbal tonics in households to this day. The beauty of Ayurveda lies in the fact that its medicines not only help cure digestive issues but also aid in building the body’s resistance to infection by promoting immunity.
Gastroenteritis is the term coined when the gut is infected and in turn results in the swelling or inflammation of the linings of the stomach and intestines. Our lifestyles have undergone a drastic change over the last 20 years. Homemade food has become somewhat a fantasy. Between our daily runs from deadline to deadline, we tend to forget the importance of healthy eating relying on junk food and fast food.
The science of Ayurveda states unwanted food that is undigested gradually accumulates in the stomach and affects Vata Dosha, resulting in obstruction of the digestive tract. Constipation occurs when this undigested food blocks your digestive tract impeding proper bowel movement.

Hyperacidity is caused due to an increased production of acids in the stomach. Ayurvedic medicine for acidity exist that can counter this excess production of acids. Speaking from the perspective of doshas, out of the primary three, acidity is caused by the aggravation of “Pitta” dosha. A prolonged period of disturbing the Pitta balance will result in acidity.
A great first step is to refrain from eating foods that aggravate Pitta like very sour or spicy dishes and drinks, going overboard with smoking, alcohol and caffeine. Additionally, when it comes to lifestyle, one should not resist the urge to urinate or pass stools. Excessive stress, late night meals, sleeping right after eating are some of the other contributing factors to acidity.
