What Causes Gas In The Stomach According To Ayurveda

As per the principles Ayurveda, the process of digestion is the most important. If there is improper digestion a metabolic toxin called Ama is formed. Ama is the root cause of most health problems and when it accumulates over a period of time, it becomes Amavisha that is very harmful. So, to have good health, one must have proper digestion and metabolism. 

Digestion is dependent on the Agni or digestive fire. This Agni is found to be dependent on the sun. When the sun is highest in the sky at noon, the digestive fire is the strongest. It is at its weakest at night. This is a reason for Ayurveda to recommend that the largest meal be eaten at noon. The other meals should be lighter to compensate for the weaker digestive fire.  The movement in the digestive tract is governed by the Vata Dosha. When this is out of balance there is the gas formation and bloating. When the Pitta Dosha is out of balance, it makes the bowel contents dry and the Kapha Dosha causes too much mucus. Thus, all the Doshas must be in good balance for the digestion to function optimally. Ayurvedic medicine for gastritis balances the Doshas as well as enhances the digestive fire Agni. 

Stomach Bloating - Overview  

To avoid stomach bloating, it requires that all the organs in the digestive system function properly for good digestion. Any issues with the organs such as the gallbladder, pancreas, and the liver that are a part of the digestive system are treated in isolation. Improper digestion reduces the ability of a person to absorb nutrients. A person would eat a balanced diet with wholesome food and enough fibre as well as probiotics. Irritable Bowel Syndrome causes frequent bouts of gastric troubles that range from diarrhoea to constipation. Indigestion causes gases to be trapped in the bowels causing bloat and flatulence. They are treated with medication and dietary changes. When there are issues because of infections of the stomach lining they are treated with antibiotics. Foods that are known to trigger indigestion are to be avoided.
