Gastroparesis

Gastroparesis is a disorder that occurs in the stomach and affects the natural movement of the muscles (motility). Due to this health problem the digestive system slows down or doesn't work at all. We can say, it is the accumulation of gas in the stomach due to indigestion.

Ayurveda, which is an ancient Indian system of curing people with herbs and holistic method says, imbalanced Vata and Pitta Dosha are the reason of Gastroparesis.

The food we eat is digested by our digestive fire and is converted into nutrient plasma. In case of Gastroparesis the body produces ama or toxins instead of healthy nutrient plasma.​
