All disease begins in the GI tract except for trauma, so Ayurveda states that it’s important to choose foods that are appropriate for your energy constitutional makeup. It is also important to avoid certain food combinations that interfere with the digestive process which run the risk of damaging your agni and hence begin the disease process. All digestive disorders commonly seen today such as irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), heartburn(GERD), inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease have their origins from poor agni and a disrupted digestive process. In this video, Dr. Bill Dean helps explain how Ayurveda can help you deal with diarrhea.
