When There Is Indigestion

When the food is not digested properly, then due to accumulation of Ama dosha,

First and foremost, you need to go in for some mild fasting. This can be taken up in 3 ways..

      Light Meals And Fasting 

     This mainly helps to relieve mild forms of indigestion because there would be a sufficient enhancement of vayu / vata (air) and agni (fire) which helps to dry down the mild disturbance in doshas just like a small pool or puddle may dry up simply by the proximity of air and sun.
      
      Fasting And Digestives
      
     On the other hand, if the indigestion being experienced is little more, then you might need to go in for fasting along with taking some digestives. According to Ayurveda, this could help just like if water is more in the pool/puddle, then it could only dry up with the aid of sun (fire) along with falling of mud or ashes in it.
      
      Detoxification Is Needed

     Sometimes when the problem of indigestion is aggravated, then it is best to go in for thorough removal and detoxification by the means of Ayurveda treatments and therapies for disintegrating and expelling the vitiated doshas from the body. The analogy provided is that of water occupied and clogged in a field which could only be causing stagnation of crop therein.
