Indigestion<\/h4>\n Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia and stomach upset, is a state of an incomplete process of digestion. It can be characterized by a sensation of pain or discomfort in the upper abdominal region accompanied by a feeling of fullness, bloating, and flatulence. According to Ayurveda, indigestion is termed as Agnimandya. This occurs due to an imbalance of Pitta dosha. Whenever the consumed food is left undigested due to Mand Agni (low digestive fire), it results in the formation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion). Gambari roots help to improve digestive fire and reduce the formation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) due to its Ushna (hot) nature.<\/p>\n
Protect liver and improves it function<\/h4>\n In Ayurveda, the liver is linked with Pitta dosha<\/strong>, which governs metabolism, digestion, and transformation of nutrients. When Pitta<\/strong> becomes aggravated \u2014 due to poor diet, alcohol, stress, or toxins \u2014 it leads to conditions like, hepatitis, fatty liver and others. Gambhari is having sheeta virya and calms aggravated pitta protecting liver from overheating and inflammation.
