These Ayurvedic Remedies Are The Perfect Solution To Bloating This Monsoon

Bloating during the monsoon season is a common issue, mainly due to increased humidity and weakened digestion caused by seasonal changes. According to Ayurveda, the digestive fire (Agni) weakens in monsoon due to the dampness and imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas, leading to indigestion, gas, and bloating. Moreover, consumption of contaminated water, overeating fried or raw foods, and reduced physical activity further contribute to sluggish digestion. Ayurvedic remedies, rooted in balancing these doshas and enhancing digestive fire, offer effective, natural solutions to relieve bloating during this time. Read on as we share a list of ayurvedic remedies you can try today to reduce bloating this monsoon.
