Ajirna (Indigestion)

Ajirna, also known as indigestion, is a common digestive disorder characterized by incomplete digestion of food, leading to discomfort, bloating, and other symptoms. Ajirna, or Indigestion, is a common digestive disorder characterized by symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and discomfort. According to Ayurveda, Ajirna is caused by an imbalance of the Agni, or digestive fire, which is responsible for digesting food. When the Agni is weak or imbalanced, food is not digested properly, leading to the accumulation of toxins, or "ama," in the digestive system.

Ayurvedic treatment for Ajirna focuses on restoring balance to the Agni and eliminating toxins from the digestive system. Herbal remedies like ginger, cumin, and coriander help to stimulate the Agni, improve digestion, and reduce symptoms like bloating and gas. Dietary changes involve avoiding foods that can exacerbate the condition, such as spicy, sour, and heavy foods. Instead, patients are encouraged to opt for a diet rich in easy-to-digest foods like rice, bananas, and yogurt.
