AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON IRREGULAR/SMALL APPETITE

The appetite is often small when there is Insufficient acid production in the stomach. This may be due to chronic dehydration. In that case, drink a glass of warm water with a pinch of salt and a wedge of lime a half hour before meals to rehydrate your body. Atrophic gastritis is a gradual loss of stomach function due to chronic inflammation, which may be secondary to H pylori or other parasitic infections. Constipation, gas and bloating can also ruin your appetite. Eating on a regular schedule generally improves appetite.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2

IRREGULAR/SMALL APPETITE IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #2 - AFFECTING BLOOD & EMOTIONS

Affecting Blood: Initially, imbalances are localized, often in the digestive tract. As an imbalance grows, it starts to affect your body systemically, via the blood. If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are starting to spread, have entered the bloodstream, and are now systemic. Pay particular attention to the biocharacteristics, tastes, and doshas out of balance systemically, so you know how to strengthen your body as a whole, and reduce physical stress on your organs. At this stage of imbalance you will begin to experience generalized discomfort, imbalanced emotions, and may develop sensitivities to temperature. It may take several weeks of strict adherence to a specific remedial diet to clear blood level imbalances. Blood cleansing herbs may reduce symptoms. A several day cleanse may shorten the recovery time. (See all disease stages on JB)
