AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON VOMITING BLOOD

The picture to the left shows blood that has been digested in the stomach. The oxidation of hemoglobin by stomach acids gives the vomit has a brown granular appearance similar to coffee grounds. Bleeding in the upper GI is usually due to an ulcer or burst blood vessel.

Western herbs traditionally used for this condition include a shephard's purse tincture in a marshmallow tea, or honey, agrimony & yarrow mixed together. Shepard's purse, honey, agrimony and yarrow have a hemostatic action. Marshmallow has a soothing, demulcent action used to cover and protect the burst vessel. Ayurveda traditionally recommended:

1. Sips of cold water.
2. Barley tea - mucilagenous, cooling, nourishing
3. Samsarjana Krama - no food particles that would scrape the wound.

Disclaimer: 'Vomiting Blood' could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #4

VOMITING BLOOD IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #4 - TISSUE DISEASE

If you have symptoms in this category it means your imbalances have overwhelmed your body's resistance causing a full-fledged disease. Once imbalance reaches this stage it is more likely to cause acute or chronic conditions. You might be tempted to focus your attention on fighting symptoms in this category, but dismiss earlier warning signs of imbalance - i.e. symptoms in the stage 1 category. It is ideal to find and address the root causes weakening your system and remove them first. This ensures you are not adding fuel to the fire of disease. Once the root causes are removed, you can work on addressing the disease head on along with strengthening your body. This typically yields a quicker recovery and prevents recurrence. Ayurveda's preventative approach suggests you pay careful attention to every stage of disease development. (See all disease stages on JB)
