Indigestion & Dyspepsia

अपच, अजीर्ण व बदहजमी
Classical Ayurvedic Term: Ajirna (अजीर्ण)
bowl Digestive & Abdominal System Mild / Early Stage Dosha: Kapha-Vata

Inability of digestive fire to metabolize food, resulting in toxic Ama formation.

Classical Symptoms & Signs

  • Loss of appetite
  • Undigested food feeling
  • Heaviness
  • Coated tongue

Dosha & Srotas Physiology

This condition stems primarily from an aggravation of Kapha-Vata, affecting the functional channels of the Digestive & Abdominal System.

Traditional Approach: Opposite quality balance (Viparita Chikitsa) — Dosha pacification, metabolic balance, and channel clearing.

✅ Pathya (Recommended Foods & Lifestyle)

Easily digestible warm meals, boiled lukewarm water, green gram (moong dal), seasonal bitter greens, moderate cow ghee, and regular meal timing.

⚠️ Apathya (Foods & Triggers to Avoid)

Excessive chilies and pungent spices, heavy deep-fried items, stale/refrigerated foods, ice-cold water, daytime sleep, and late-night meals.
