7 Tips to Heal Digestion With Ayurveda
In my 20 years as a holistic nurse I would have to say that digestive disorders are one of the most common complaints I get from my clients.
Yet, the treatments I recommend to my clients as an ayurvedic practitioner sometimes surprise my clients.
That's because it the remedies are simple, easy, effective, and don't require prescription or over the counter medications.
here's seven simple tips that you can use to heal your digestion at the source, the root of the problem, once and for all.
1 Know your "dosha" In Ayurveda, your specific body type is referred to as your constitution.
It's important to have an idea of your constitution because each body type has conditions that they are prone to, and treatment is individualized according to your body type and needs.
2.
If you are experiencing digestive problems don't continue to mask the symptoms with over the counter or prescription drugs.
They may provide temporarily relief from pain and discomfort but they are only a temporary band-aid.
3.
Eat according to your body type.
Once you discover your body type,(dosha), follow that type of meal plan.
If you are "vata-type' eat a vata pacifying diet.
If you are a "pitta-type", eat a pitta pacifying diet.
If you are a "kapha-type", eat a kapha pacifying diet.
This is the first most important step.
4.
Don't "roto-root" your colon.
Many people are mislead by all the information and advertisements in the media.
The supplement industry is there to sell you products and they spend millions of dollars to do it.
They are not health care professionals.
Most colon cleansing products strip your digestive tract of many important and essential nutrients and leave you digestive tract dehydrated, ultimately compounding any problems.
5.
Consider drinking a home made herbal tea that is beneficial to your body type.
Herbs like ginger, fennel, coriander, and cumin may be combined with spices like cinnamon and cardamom that create very effective healing for the tissues of the digestive tract.
Again, there are recipes available online that are specific for each body type.
6.
Reduce the inflammation.
Almost all digestive disorders cause an inflammation of some type in the intestines.
Before rejuvenation can begin the inflammation must be healed.
taking medications does nothing to heal the inflammation.
It actually turns of the very thing that can facilitate healing..

the digestive enzyme, acids, and lubricants.
Consider taking an ayurvedic healing herb like triphala to calm and heal the tissues.

Ayurveda offers a holistic health care approach to reversing chronic digestive disorders.
