In Ayurveda digestion and absorption of nutrition is explained in terms of “Agni” or digestive fire. Ayurveda considers Agni as a root cause for life, strength, health, nourishment, energy, and Prana (power of life). For optimal absorption of nutrients, food needs to be properly digested and this digestion happens only when the Agni is healthy.
Agni or digestive fire can be healthy only when the doshas of the body are in balance. Consequently, digestive disorders stem from low or imbalanced digestive fire leading to issues such as indigestion, poor absorption, chest burns, bloating and other digestive problems. Additionally digestive disorders also lead to accumulation of residue in the alimentary canal that may turn toxic to the body and generate diseases
Administration of Ayurvedic therapies coupled with Ayurvedic Diets, lifestyle changes and herbal Medication provide remedy for digestive disorders. Ayurvedic detox treatments help flush out accumulated toxins, from the system while use of Ayurvedic herbs can enhance digestion and metabolism. Additionally herbal medications are used to correct pathologies and balance doshas.
Commonly used treatment modalities include promoting deepana (by carminatives), paachana (by digestives) and vaataanulomana (by gas expellers). Ayurvedic detox (panchakarma) is also recommended for eliminating the symptoms and the causes of digestive discomfort. It entails virechana (purgation) and vasti (herbalised enemas) for cleansing the intestine.
