Significance of Indigestion symptoms
Indigestion symptoms in Rasashastra refer to discomfort in the digestive system stemming from improper coordination of food and medicine, as well as issues related to the body's ability to digest food. In scientific terms, these symptoms include unpleasant signs from poor digestion that may result in the accumulation of Ama, along with manifestations related to Grahani Roga, such as dyspepsia, arising from an imbalance in digestion (agni). Both perspectives emphasize the importance of proper digestion for overall health.
