Ayurveda’s simplistic view on digestion for optimal health will resonate with everybody. Why? As a popular children’s book so eloquently states, Everyone Poops. Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn are considered to be in the third stage of the disease process according to Ayurveda’s six stages of disease.
While research is proving how these gastrointestinal issues (GIS) are linked to serious health conditions such as anxiety and depression, many in society masquerade the seriousness of GIS and laugh at a popular Pepto Bismal commercial.
According to Ayurveda symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and nausea are located in the digestive system and are considered easier to treat than those outside the digestive system. Imbalance begins in this primary system and if not balanced in its own system, has the potential to relocate, manifest and diversify in other systems in the body. Once disease has entered the fifth stage, western medicine can now diagnose and give symptoms a name like diabetes, arthritis, anxiety, heart disease or eczema, where bringing the body back into balance becomes more challenging.
When people begin to observe their digestive behaviors they begin to become aware of imbalance, bad habits and are more apt to make simple dietary and lifestyle changes. When they notice increased levels of vitality and health they continue to reinforce their behaviors, making positive changes with better input realizing its direct impact on the output.
