Digestive Support
Digestive-supportive foods help meals feel comfortable, regular, and well assimilated. Ayurveda strengthens agni through food choice, preparation, timing, spices, and attention to the individual.
Digestive support includes foods and preparations that encourage comfortable appetite, assimilation, and elimination without unnecessary heaviness, irritation, or gas.
Ayurveda places agni at the center and considers whether a meal is warm or cold, light or heavy, moist or dry, and appropriate for the season and person. Cooking, portions, meal rhythm, and spices can matter as much as ingredients. A food that helps one person may aggravate another. Persistent pain, bleeding, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, major bowel changes, or unexplained weight loss should be assessed clinically.
