Post Digestive Formula - Vata version

This salty and pungent Ayurvedic formula is traditionally used to relieve gas, bloating, and sluggish digestion, especially in individuals with cold, dry Vata constitutions. It helps stimulate digestive fire (Agni), reduce post-meal discomfort, and increase the body’s ability to absorb nutrients from food—especially challenging items like beans, wheat, and raw vegetables.

According to Ayurveda, irregular digestion and excess air (Vata) are the root causes of many intestinal issues. This formula is designed to ground Vata energy, increase warmth in the digestive tract, and restore balance after eating.

Key Benefits:

• Traditionally used to stimulate Agni for better digestion and absorption
• Helps relieve gas, bloating, and intestinal discomfort
• Known in Ayurveda for aiding digestion of beans, wheat, and raw foods
• Promotes regular, complete bowel movements
• Used historically for food intolerance and poor nutrient assimilation
• Ideal for Vata or Vata-Kapha digestive imbalances

Chitrakmool (Plumbago zeylanica) – Traditionally used in Ayurveda to ignite digestive fire (Agni), reduce intestinal gas, and help break down dense or undigested foods.
Dashamoola – A classic Ayurvedic combination of ten roots, known for its ability to pacify Vata, relieve bloating, and support detoxification of deeper tissues.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) – Used historically as a warming digestive that reduces bloating and gas, promotes motility, and supports regular bowel movements.
Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) – A well-known carminative that soothes abdominal discomfort, encourages nutrient absorption, and stimulates healthy elimination.
Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) – Known in Ayurveda to enhance bioavailability of herbs and nutrients while stimulating digestive enzyme production.
Salt (Saindhava Lavana) – Balancing for Vata, supports electrolyte balance, and promotes the secretion of digestive enzymes.
Hing (Asafoetida) – A potent Vata-reducing herb traditionally used to expel gas, calm intestinal spasms, and reduce discomfort after eating.

Together, these herbs are used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to address the root causes of gas, bloating, and sluggish digestion—especially where Vata is aggravated.

Dosage:

• Take ½ to 1 teaspoon in ½ cup of warm water immediately after meals.
• To prevent gas: Mix 1 tsp in warm water and sip during meals.
• Adjust dosage gradually depending on symptom severity. Once digestion improves, reduce to a maintenance dose.

Pair with or one or more of the following:

• Digestive Tea – Best Tea for Gas and Bloating (SKU: DIGV) – Soothes intestinal gas and bloating
• Salty Vata Ayurvedic Seasoning (SKU: SEAV) – Enhances Agni with warming spices
• Vata Digestive Tea (Belly Tea) (SKU: T101) – Daily support for Vata-type digestion

Dietary guidelines: Favor warm, moist, and oily foods. Avoid cold, raw, dry, or gas-producing foods such as beans, cabbage, and raw salads. Eat meals at regular times, chew thoroughly, and drink warm water with meals.

This formula is traditionally used in Ayurveda to restore digestive balance, especially in individuals suffering from excess Vata and weak Agni. It is not recommended for people with Pitta or Kapha excess due to its heating and salty nature. Avoid use if you have high blood pressure or edema.

Tip: For best results, this Ayurvedic formula should be dissolved in hot water, cooled slightly, and consumed. This method improves absorption and therapeutic action. Capsules are less effective and typically require higher dosages—use them only if necessary.
