Ayurveda/Indigestion

Question
I feel indigestion. Do not want to take any medicines. Is there any classical ayurvedic home remedy for this?

Answer
Hi Jen,

Indigestion is an umbrella term and it requires a specification what kind of problem you suffer from! Unfortunately, I cannot see what exactly makes you bothering. Anyway, for any indigestion problem (except acidity), ayurveda has a common remedy (one of the remedies rather!).

Please follow this -

Take a small piece of Ginger (raw, fresh) and peel it.
Crush it and add a pinch of black pepper (powdered)
Add asafetida (hing) - a pinch
Add a few drops of lemon
A pinch of rock-salt

You should have this in the morning preferably before breakfast. The ingredient suggested here have natural enzymes that boost the digestive fire, as mentioned in Ayurveda. This is called as 'Lavana Ardraka Prayoga', the simplest yet effective ayurvedic home remedies for digestion problems such as flatulence, constipation, abdominal cramps, anorexia etc.

Take care and all the best.
