Ajirna (indigestion) is a common digestive problem in Ayurveda. It happens when the digestive fire (Agni) isn't working right, which means that food isn't fully digested. Ajirna occurs when a person overeats, eats at irregular times, consumes incompatible or excessively heavy meals, eats too many cold or greasy foods, experiences stress, or lacks sufficient exercise. When digestion isn't working well, food that hasn't been broken down becomes Ama (toxins), which messes with normal bodily functions.

There are three varieties of ajirna: Amajirna (caused by Ama), Vidagdhajirna (caused by Pitta), and Vistabdhajirna (caused by Vata). Some common signs are feeling heavy in the stomach, bloating, burping, nausea, loss of appetite, tiredness, and sometimes pain or discomfort in the stomach. Some people may have sour regurgitation or constipation, depending on which dosha is out of balance.
Ayurvedic management aims to enhance Agni, eliminate Ama, and re-establish equilibrium. People generally suggest fasting (Langhana) or eating light, warm things like rice gruel and soups. You must stay away from heavy, fried, and unsuitable foods. People often utilise herbs like ginger, black pepper, hing, and triphala to help with digestion and ease symptoms. To keep your stomach healthy and avoid getting sick again, you should eat regularly, pay attention to what you eat, and get some exercise.
