Pain in the abdomen could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor. As with any indigestion, ayurveda traditionally recommended a simple & light diet, focused on soups with easy to digest ingredients. Ache could indicate acid reflux, colic, ulcer, impacted fecal matter, an infection, diverticuli, inflammation, hernia, and various other factors. Pain is often evaluated by location and whether the location moves, when and how often it occurs. Dull aches are often Kapha in nature - such as a wound covered in a protective layer of mucus.

Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Dull ache in abdomen' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

Symptoms Tell A Story

The first step to healing is learning patterns from your symptoms. Symptoms are clues that reveal underlying imbalances, showing you where your body is weak. Specifically, they reveal the doshas & qualities that may have become aggravated. If you notice a quality or dosha appears next to many of your symptoms, it helps you establish a pattern that may be systemic.

ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE 3

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.
