The gastrointestinal (GI) system, also known as the digestive system, plays a crucial role in overall health. It includes the organs from the mouth to the anal opening, along with the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Any disorder that affects digestion, absorption, or elimination is referred to as a gastrointestinal disease.
According to Ayurveda, most gastrointestinal disorders arise from improper eating habits, irregular lifestyle, stress, and imbalance of digestive fire (Agni). At Dr. Jasna Ayurvedic Clinic, we focus on identifying and correcting the root cause of digestive disorders through natural and holistic treatment methods.
In Ayurveda, digestion is governed by Agni (digestive fire). When Agni becomes weak or imbalanced due to poor diet, incompatible food combinations (Virudh Aahar), stress, or irregular routines, toxins known as Ama are formed. This toxic buildup leads to various gastrointestinal problems.
The imbalance of Pitta Dosha is the primary cause of acidity, GERD, and ulcers, while Vata Dosha disturbance is responsible for constipation and irregular bowel movements.
GERD, commonly known as acid reflux, occurs when the valve between the stomach and oesophagus becomes weak, allowing acidic stomach contents to flow backward. This causes symptoms such as heartburn, chest discomfort, bloating, nausea, and sour belching.
Excessive consumption of spicy, oily, fried foods
Tea, coffee, alcohol, and carbonated drinks
Late-night meals and irregular eating habits
Stress, anger, hyperactivity, and aggressive behavior
Overuse of painkillers and antibiotics
According to Ayurveda, acid reflux is caused by aggravated Pitta Dosha, which increases heat and acidity in the stomach. When Pitta is imbalanced, acidic toxins move upward into the food pipe, causing heartburn and irritation.
Ayurvedic treatment aims to cool the digestive system, balance Pitta, and strengthen digestion naturally.
A peptic ulcer is an erosion in the mucous lining of the stomach or intestine. People suffering from chronic gastritis, acidity, and heartburn are at higher risk.
Excessive acid secretion
Helicobacter pylori bacterial infection
Long-term acidity and gastritis
Stress and unhealthy lifestyle habits
In Ayurveda, peptic ulcers are associated with severe Pitta imbalance, where excessive heat corrodes the stomach lining. Treatment focuses on healing the mucosa, reducing acid production, and restoring digestive balance.
Constipation is defined as difficulty in bowel evacuation or passing hard stools. Though often ignored, untreated constipation can lead to fissures, piles, indigestion, loss of appetite, and toxin accumulation.
Weak digestive power (Mandagni)
Low fiber and fluid intake
Sedentary lifestyle
Irregular bowel habits
Excessive intake of junk, oily, and spicy foods
Stress, anxiety, fear, and emotional disturbances
According to Ayurveda, Vata Dosha imbalance causes dryness and obstruction in the digestive tract. Undigested food accumulates as Ama, disturbing normal bowel movement.
Ayurvedic treatment focuses on improving digestion, lubricating the intestines, and restoring natural bowel rhythm.
