Easy Remedies for Digestion Care in Winter

When you are having less activity in the cool winter, you end up eating more calorie-rich junk food.  This makes your stomach feel somewhat disturbed also. Have you ever felt this?  

This disease occurs because in the winters, the metabolism of your body becomes slower and you are unable to digest properly if the quantity and quality of the food are not balanced.  

Imagine a heavy dinner and sluggish sleep after that.  The next morning, you’ll feel tired, isn’t it?   

Ayurvedic view of digestive care 

Ayurvedic principles tell us about an innate strong digestive fire in our body called Agni.  if this Agni gets deranged, you will experience symptoms of indigestion like loss of appetite,  excessive belching, acidity, bloating in the abdomen etc. Due to this, your body will be with metabolic toxins known as Ama in Ayurveda. When you are stuffing your body with excessive food and drinks, your digestive power becomes weak.  

This affects the energy production in your body also. For getting rid of these accumulated metabolic toxins, you have to take carminative, digestive medicines and undergo detoxification therapies like Panchakarma.
