A short, guided journey through how your body may be feeling — and which gentle practices, ingredients, and remedies might support it.

Topic Overview

Burning in the stomach, sour belches, hunger pangs. This page gathers gentle, traditional perspectives on what your body may be signaling and how everyday rhythms can support balance — not a diagnosis or replacement for professional care.

Gastritis is a classic pitta condition — heat in the stomach. Sip cool (not iced) coriander-fennel-cumin (CCF) tea through the day. A glass of cold milk or coconut water at the first burn is fast relief. Avoid coffee on empty stomach, chillies, sour foods, alcohol, smoking, and skipping meals. Aloe vera juice (2 tbsp before meals) and a teaspoon of soaked sabja (basil) seeds in water are gentle daily coolers.
