How Do You Feel After You Eat?
How you feel after a meal can tell us a great deal about how well your digestion is functioning.
In Ayurveda, healthy digestion should leave you feeling light, energetic and satisfied. Feeling heavy, tired, bloated, gassy, burning, or simply “flat” after eating can indicate that digestion isn't functioning as well as it should.
Some common signs I ask my patients about:
• Heaviness or fatigue after meals
• Gas or bloating
• Burning or excess acidity
• Feeling dull or sluggish after eating
• Afternoon fatigue following lunch
In the video below, I explain what these different reactions can mean from an Ayurvedic perspective and some simple ways to support healthier digestion.
Ayurvedic Products I Commonly Use for Digestive Support
Fennel Cream - reduces gas, bloating and acid reflux.
Prakrit Cream - supports health bowel movement and nourishes the friendly bacteria needed for proper digestion and absorption.
Pachaka Support - supports the digestive flame in the stomach. Helps to reduce the heavy dull feeling after heating.
Moringa Tea - opens the channels, improves digestion and reduces heaviness.

Still feeling heavy, tired, bloated or uncomfortable after meals?
Digestive problems can have different causes, so the appropriate Ayurvedic approach isn't the same for everyone.
