Digestive Disorders

What Are Digestive Problems?

Digestive problems are issues that affect how your stomach and intestines work. You may experience common symptoms like gas, acidity, constipation, bloating, diarrhoea, or stomach pain. These problems can be short-term, like a stomach infection, or long-term, like IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), acid reflux or chronic constipation.

Digestive problems are very common these days because of our fast moving lives. You might not know it, but these habits can make your digestion worse: skipping meals, eating junk food, being stressed, eating too late at night, or sitting all day without moving. Even stress or anxiety can cause problems like bloating or loose motions. That's why problems with digestion don't only happen to older people. They have an effect on students, working people, stay-at-home parents, and even kids.

You might think that taking an antacid or a laxative will fix the problem, but these are only short-term solutions. Your stomach won't be able to break down food properly if your digestive fire (Agni in Ayurveda) is weak or out of balance. Over time, this can cause your body to accumulate toxins (called Ama), which can make you feel tired, make your skin look bad, or even cause pain in your joints.

We at Jiva Ayurveda know that everyone's digestion is different, and so should be your treatment. Ayurveda doesn't just deal with symptoms like gas or acidity. It focuses on fixing the root cause, which could be your bad eating habits, stress, or an imbalance in the energies in your body (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). Your health as a whole gets better when your digestion is good.

Ayurvedic treatment helps you get back to normal, naturally improves your digestion, and lets you enjoy food without worry. Good digestion is your key to your better energy, mood, and long-term health.

Types of Digestive Problems Treated at Jiva

At Jiva Ayurveda, we treat a wide range of digestive problems using personalised Ayurvedic care. Whether you’re struggling with daily acidity or long-term issues like colitis or liver problems, Ayurveda can help you heal naturally. Here are some of the digestive issues we treat, so you can better understand what’s going on inside your body:

1. Acid Reflux

Do you feel a burning sensation in your chest or throat after eating? That’s acid reflux. It happens when excess stomach acid flows back up into your food pipe. Ayurveda treats this by calming the Pitta dosha and strengthening your Agni (digestive fire).

2. Anemia

When your blood doesn’t have enough healthy red cells, you feel weak and tired. This is anemia. In Ayurveda, it’s called Pandu Roga. It’s treated by improving iron absorption and correcting Pitta and Kapha imbalances.

3. Anorexia

If you’ve lost interest in food or don’t feel hungry at all, it could be anorexia. In Ayurveda, this is called Aruchi and is caused by poor digestion and mental stress. Herbal remedies help restore appetite and improve digestion.

4. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Always feeling tired even after sleeping well? You might be dealing with chronic fatigue. Ayurveda treats this by removing Ama (toxins), improving digestion, and boosting your body’s natural strength.

5. Gastritis

Gastritis is when the lining of your stomach becomes inflamed. It causes pain, burning, and sometimes vomiting. Ayurveda balances Pitta and soothes the stomach lining using herbs and dietary changes.

6. Colitis

This is a condition where the colon (large intestine) gets inflamed, causing pain, cramps, and frequent loose motions. Ayurveda treats colitis by healing the gut lining and balancing Pitta and Kapha.

7. Crohn’s Disease

Crohn’s is a severe digestive condition with symptoms like diarrhoea, pain, and weight loss. It’s similar to colitis but can affect any part of the digestive tract. Ayurveda focuses on strengthening immunity and reducing gut inflammation.

8. Weakness and Fatigue

Feeling low on energy every day, especially after meals? Poor digestion could be the reason. Ayurveda improves nutrient absorption so your body can actually use the food you eat and overcome weakness and fatigue.

9. Flatulence

Too much gas in your stomach can cause discomfort, bloating, and even chest tightness. Ayurveda reduces Vata dosha and improves digestion to stop excess gas from forming.

10. Gallstones

Gallstones form when bile (a digestive fluid) hardens. Ayurveda helps dissolve small stones and corrects liver and gallbladder function naturally.

11. Jaundice

Jaundice turns your skin and eyes yellow due to liver problems. Ayurveda treats it by supporting liver detox and balancing Pitta dosha.

12. Liver Cirrhosis

Cirrhosis is a chronic liver disease where healthy liver tissue gets replaced with scar tissue. Ayurveda helps slow its progress by strengthening the liver and supporting digestion.

13. Sickle Cell Anaemia

Sickle Cell Anaemia is a genetic condition where red blood cells are shaped abnormally. Ayurveda helps manage fatigue and improves immunity and digestion to reduce complications.

14. Piles and Fissure

Pain or bleeding during bowel movements? This could be piles or fissures. Ayurveda uses herbs, oils, and dietary changes to reduce pain, swelling, and promote healing.

15. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

If you often have loose motions one day and constipation the next, it could be IBS. Ayurveda calls this Grahani and treats it by regulating Agni and calming stress.

16. Hyperacidity

Too much acid in your stomach leads to burning, burping, and discomfort. Ayurveda uses cooling herbs and teaches proper food timing to keep hyperacidity in control.

17. Constipation

Passing hard or dry stools due to constipation? Ayurveda helps to soften the stool and regulates Vata dosha to ensure regular, easy bowel movements.

18. Ulcerative Colitis

Ulcerative Colitis is a long-term inflammation of the colon that leads to bloody stools and weakness. Ayurvedic herbs soothe inflammation and strengthen the colon.

19. Coeliac Disease

Coeliac Disease is a condition where the body reacts badly to gluten (a protein found in wheat). Ayurveda helps by healing the intestines and balancing immunity.

20. Peptic Ulcer

Peptic Ulcers are painful sores in the stomach lining. Ayurveda uses herbs to protect the lining and reduce Pitta dosha.

21. Tapeworm

Tapeworms are parasites that grow in your intestines and steal your nutrition. Ayurveda uses natural deworming herbs to clean the gut and boost strength.

22. Typhoid

A bacterial infection that causes fever and digestive distress. Ayurveda supports typhoid recovery by improving digestion, energy, and immunity.

23. Diarrhoea

Frequent loose motions are a sign that your digestion is out of balance. Ayurveda treats the root cause to stop diarrhoea naturally and restore strength.

24. Diverticulitis

In diverticulitis, small pouches form in your intestines and become inflamed. Ayurveda reduces inflammation and improves digestion to prevent flare-ups.

25. Pinworms

Pinworms are tiny worms that cause itching and irritation near the anus, especially at night. Ayurveda uses safe herbal formulations to remove them.

26. Cholera

A severe infection causing watery diarrhoea and dehydration. Ayurveda manages cholera symptoms with proper hydration and herbal support.

27. Emphysema

While emphysema mainly affects the lungs, poor digestion can worsen it. Ayurveda improves digestion and strengthens overall immunity.

28. Food Poisoning

Eating contaminated food causes vomiting, diarrhoea, and cramps (Food Poisoning). Ayurveda removes toxins and quickly brings the stomach back to balance.

29. Atherosclerosis

Though a heart-related disease, atherosclerosis is also linked with poor digestion and metabolism. Ayurveda improves fat metabolism and cleanses the blood channels.

30. Thalassemia

Thalassemia is a blood disorder that leads to low hemoglobin. Ayurveda helps manage fatigue and improves digestion to support overall health.

31. High Triglycerides

High Triglycerides basically means excess fat in your blood, often caused by poor digestion and lifestyle. Ayurveda improves metabolism and supports healthy fat breakdown.

32. Gastroenteritis

Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines, which is also called stomach flu. Ayurveda helps reduce inflammation, stop diarrhoea, and restore gut strength.

What Ayurveda Says About Digestive Problems

Ayurveda says that your digestion is the most important part of your health. When your stomach and intestines aren't working right, it can affect everything in your body, from your energy levels to your skin and even your mood. Ayurveda places a lot of importance on having a strong and balanced digestive system for this reason. 

What does Agni (Digestive Fire) do?

Ayurveda says that all problems with digestion start when Agni, your body's digestive fire, is out of balance. Food doesn't digest well if Agni is too weak (Manda Agni). It causes acidity and burning if it is too strong (Tikshna Agni). And if it keeps changing (Vishama Agni), you might feel fine one day and bad the next.

When your digestion is bad, it makes Ama, a sticky, poisonous waste that builds up in your gut and blocks your body's natural channels (Srotas). This Ama then spreads and causes problems in other systems, such as tiredness, joint pain, or even skin problems.

Imbalance of Doshas

There is a different dosha responsible for each type of digestive problem:

  • Vata Imbalance: Makes you gassy, constipated, and bloated.
  • Pitta Imbalance: Causes ulcers, acidity, and swelling.
  • Kapha Imbalance: Causes nausea, heaviness, and slow digestion.

At Jiva Ayurveda, we don't just give you external medicines for constipation or acidity. Our doctors look at your eating habits, stress levels, dosha type, and other things to figure out what's wrong with your digestion. After that, we make a plan just for you to balance your Agni, get rid of Ama, clear blocked channels, and heal the tissues (Dhatus) that are hurting.

This method of finding the root cause will help you feel better for more than just a few days, and it will do so in a natural way with no side effects.

Benefits of Ayurvedic Treatment for Digestive Problems

Ayurveda doesn't just cover up the signs of digestive problems; it goes deeper to find and fix the real problem. This is how Ayurvedic treatment at Jiva can help you:

1. Fixes the problem at its source, not just the symptoms

Ayurveda doesn't just give you quick relief from gas, acidity, or constipation; it also finds out why your digestion is weak. Is it how you live? What do you eat? Why is your dosha out of balance? We can then treat the root cause so that your problem doesn't come back.

2. Safe and natural for long-term use

Ayurvedic herbs and medicines are made from plants and don't have any harmful chemicals in them. You don't have to worry about getting addicted to drugs or having side effects. That makes it great for use over a long time.

3. Boosts the immune system and metabolism

Your body starts to absorb nutrients better when your digestion gets better. This boosts your energy, strengthens your immune system, and even makes your skin look better. A healthy gut makes you healthier overall.

4. Treatment that is personalised to each person

At Jiva, everyone is treated differently. Your Ayurvedic doctor will make a plan just for you based on your body type (Prakriti), dosha imbalance, diet, stress level, and way of life.

5. Improves your quality of life

Ayurveda doesn't just help your stomach. It helps you sleep better, feel lighter, eat without worry, and enjoy your daily life again. You will have more energy, less pain, and a calm mind.

Ayurvedic Treatment and Therapies Used

When it comes to treating digestive problems, Ayurveda focuses on healing your gut from within using natural herbs, a personalised diet, and special therapies. At Jiva, our approach is not the same for everyone. It depends on your Prakriti (body type), current dosha imbalance, disease stage, and what exactly is causing the problem in your case.

Common Ayurvedic Herbs for Digestion

Here are some powerful herbs used in Ayurvedic treatment to support your digestive system:

  • Triphala: A mix of Amla, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki. It helps with constipation, bloating, and overall gut cleansing.
  • Ajwain (Carom seeds): Helps reduce gas, bloating, and indigestion caused by Vata imbalance.
  • Ginger: A warming herb that boosts your Agni (digestive fire), especially when your digestion feels weak or slow.
  • Kutaja: Very effective for treating loose motions, colitis, and IBS by reducing inflammation in the intestines.
  • Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Soothes acidity and supports natural detox of the digestive system.
  • Haritaki: Great for treating hyperacidity and clearing toxins (Ama) from the digestive tract.
  • Bael (Wood Apple): Has a cooling effect and helps in digestion and constipation.
  • Aloe Vera (Ghritkumari): Supports gut healing, especially in IBS and acid reflux.

Panchakarma and External Therapies

For long-term or chronic digestive problems, Jiva doctors may suggest detox therapies (Panchakarma):

Other therapies may include Snehana (internal oleation), Swedana (herbal steam), and diet changes to bring your digestive system back to balance.

I had Fistula and Myasthenia Gravis and because of that I was mostly bedridden. This was when I began watching Dr Chauhan TV Shows and understood that Ayurveda could help. I consulted a Jiva doctor and in 7 months of treatment, now I feel much better. I think following the Ayurvedic lifestyle has also made me healthier overall.

I had Piles and severe indigestion for 10 years. After trying everything I wasn’t sure Ayurveda could help me, but one day I saw Dr Chauhan on TV explaining how Ayurveda treated Piles and it gave me a hope. After 5 months, the pain has reduced a lot, which is more than anything I have ever experienced before.

Constipation had made my life hell. I tried OTC laxatives, home remedies and other treatments, it worked but not to my satisfaction. I always trusted Ayurveda but there was no one reliable whom I could consult, until one day I saw Dr Chauhan on TV. Within 3 months my problem is completely gone! Thanks Jiva.

My house is on the second floor and climbing up and down every time had become impossible for me because I had Haitus Hernia. I met with big doctors at a famous hospital and took medicines for 8 months but it didn’t work for my condition. In fact, my problem became worse and as a side-effect I got cataracts. Then I decided to try Ayurveda treatment at Jiva. In 7 months, the pain has become so much less and there is no side effect.

I had complaints of gas, acidity, weakness, nasal blockage, headache, and thigh pain. I took allopathic treatment for a long time but did not see any improvement in my health condition. When I visited the Jiva Ayurveda clinic, the doctor told me that I’m facing all these issues because of weak metabolism. Within two months of Ayurvedic treatment prescribed by the Jiva doctor, I felt fine. I am so happy as the treatment solved my 99% problem. Thanks Jiva Ayurveda!

I am a patient of IBS & Weak Digestion. After seeing a video of Dr Partap Chauhan on TV, I contacted Jiva Ayurveda Clinic. Within 5 months of the treatment, I noticed some amazing results. My digestion is better and I can eat a lot of things now which used to be quite impossible a few months back. However, I am not fully recovered yet but I have a strong belief that if I continue taking medicines and keep myself up to the diet given by my doctor, I’ll surely get myself healed in a few months.

I was suffering from piles for almost 5 yrs. Though I'm veg & non-alcoholic & regularly do exercise & walk, it happened due to work stress & long sitting hours. I took Ayurvedic treatment but it did not work for me. Since I started treatment from Jiva, I got 80% relief in my condition. I’m continuing my medicines & I’m very much thankful to all the doctors from Jiva Ayurveda as they helped me get relief from this old piles problem.
