Hello, Thank you for sharing your concern. From what you’ve described, frequent bloating and a sense of incomplete bowel movements may be related to a heavy, protein-rich (non-veg dominant) diet and possibly weak digestive fire (manda agni in Ayurveda). This can lead to toxin accumulation (ama) and sluggish gut motility. Next step: To guide you correctly, I’d recommend a consultation so I can understand your full diet pattern, sleep, digestion, and lifestyle — and then personalize a plan with the right herbs, meal timings, and cleansing approach. In the meantime, a few simple tips: • Add warm jeera-ajwain water after meals. • Include fiber-rich fruits like papaya and soaked raisins daily. • Avoid mixing dairy and meat in the same meal. • Try to have your heaviest meal at lunch, not dinner. Let me know if you’d like further help — I’ll be happy to support. Dr. Arisha Ayurveda Consultant

Thanks for sharing your concern. Bloating and incomplete bowel movements are signs of **impaired digestion and accumulation of “Ama” (toxins)** in Ayurveda. A diet heavy in **non-veg** (especially when eaten frequently without balance), with insufficient fiber, weak digestive fire (**Mandagni**) and low water intake, is often the root cause. Let’s break this down clearly: --- ## ⚠️ Likely Causes in Your Case: * **Too much non-veg food** (especially fried, spicy, or processed meats) * **Low fiber** (green vegetables, fruits, whole grains) * **Overeating or irregular meal timing** * Weak **Agni (digestive fire)** * **Stress, sitting long hours**, poor water intake --- ## ✅ Goal: Improve **Agni**, reduce **Ama**, support **Apana Vayu** (downward movement for full bowel evacuation), and **detoxify gently**. --- ## 🌿 Immediate Ayurvedic Diet Modifications: ### 1. 🥗 Add These Daily: | Food | Why | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------- | | **Steamed green leafy vegetables** (spinach, methi, bathua, lauki, etc.) | Cleanse intestines, add fiber | | **Moong dal (yellow split)** khichdi with ghee | Light, digestible, balances all doshas | | **Fennel + ajwain + jeera water** (boil and sip warm after meals) | Relieves bloating, gas | | **Triphala churna** (1 tsp with warm water at bedtime) | Natural laxative + detoxifier | | **Fresh fruits daily** – papaya, guava, soaked raisins, banana | Add bulk, improve movement | | **Ghee** (1 tsp on meals) | Lubricates colon, improves absorption | --- ### 2. ❌ Avoid or Reduce These: | **Red meat**, fried meats, processed non-veg ---- | Heavy to digest, causes Ama | **Reheated food**, junk snacks, bread, biscuits -----Slow metabolism, weakens Agni |,| **Cold water, soft drinks**--- | Weakens digestion further | | **Spicy sauces, garlic-chili pastes, pickles (daily use)** |---- Irritates intestines | **Tea/Coffee in excess** ---- | Increases dryness + acidity | ## 🕒 Meal Routine Tips: * Eat **on time** every day * Avoid **mixing milk with salty or sour foods** * Leave **1/4 of your stomach empty** at each meal * **Chew thoroughly** and eat without distractions --- ## 🌿 Herbal Supports (Gentle & Safe): 1. **Consult us for Details** – 1 tsp with warm water before bed 2. **Consult us for Details** – 1/2 tsp before lunch/dinner (helps gas and acidity) 3. **Consult us for Details** – sprinkle 1/4 tsp on food or take with ghee after meals ## 🧘 Lifestyle Detox Habits: * **15 min brisk walking** after meals improves peristalsis * **Early dinner** (before 8 PM) * **Deep breathing / Anulom Vilom pranayama** * ******* oil cleanse once a month** (optional, under supervision) → 2 tsp ****** oil with warm ginger water in the morning on empty stomach --- ## Example Daily Diet for Digestive Reset: | Time | Meal | | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | 7 AM | Warm water with lemon OR fennel-ajwain tea | | 8 AM | Papaya or soaked raisins (10) + warm moong dal khichdi | | 1 PM | Rice + sabzi + dal + 1 tsp ghee + beetroot or lauki | | 4 PM | Herbal tea + roasted chana or boiled peanuts | | 7 PM | Vegetable soup + khichdi or rice + saag | | Bedtime | 1 tsp ***** with warm water | *Consult us for Details* --- If you’d like, I can prepare a **weekly diet chart** or recommend an **Ayurvedic detox plan for 7 days** to reset digestion.

1. Triphala Powder (at night) – 1 teaspoon with warm water before bed – Supports detox, improves bowel movement, and balances all three doshas, especially Vata. 2. Ghee (Desi Cow Ghee) – Add 1 tsp of ghee to dal, rice, or roti – Acts as a natural laxative, lubricates the intestines, and soothes digestion.
Next Steps
Drink warm water throughout the day (avoid cold water).

To reduce bloating and improve bowel movements, try these simple changes: Add to Your Diet: More fiber: Add leafy greens, fruits (like papaya, apple), whole grains, and soaked raisins. Warm water: Drink 2–3 glasses in the morning. Triphala at night: 1–2 tablets or powder with warm water to aid detox and bowel cleansing. Buttermilk with jeera and rock salt after lunch for digestion. Reduce or Avoid: Too much non-veg, especially at night. Fried, spicy, and processed foods. Cold drinks and packaged snacks. Balancing your meals with more plant-based fiber and proper hydration can bring great relief. For long-term results, consult for a personalized detox and gut health plan.

'WE BECOME WHAT WE EAT' . The proper digestion transforms food into rasa which subsequently nourishes our body. If digestion is poor , it produce Ama [toxins] instead of nutrition , leading to disease. For igniting agni [digestive power] , and burning out the toxins Ayurveda has different methods according to your body type.
