Constipation, bloating, loss of appetite, gas, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and acidity, are the stomach problems that everyone is worried about these days. Wrong eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle are the biggest causes of stomach and intestinal problems. It is not right to use medicines every time to get relief from these disorders because it gives you relief but long-term use of medicines can cause serious damage to health.
You can also use some Ayurvedic herbs to get relief from stomach problems and strengthen the digestive system. According to Dr. Kapil Tyagi, Director of 'Kapil Tyagi Ayurveda Clinic' located at E-260 Sector 27, Noida, the digestive system is called Agni in Ayurveda. When Agni is strong and balanced, digestion is better and nutrients are absorbed well.
