VOMITING (Emesis)WHAT DOES IT MEAN? WHAT'S CAUSING IT? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Are you prone to a problem with 'Vomiting'?
Vomiting is the forceful expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth. Often, contents of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, are also discharged. Vomiting is caused by irritants and harmful agents, such as viruses, bacteria, strong medication or excess alcohol, which have entered the GI tract. These irritants stimulate retroperistalsis, forcing food to move in the opposite direction. Vomiting is usually preceded by feelings of nausea, increased salivation, and sweating. Vomiting is a natural urge that, in many cases, should not be suppressed. It is the body's way of purging potentially harmful toxins. Most of the time, you feel much better after vomiting. However, excessive vomiting is extremely dangerous and can lead to malnourishment and dehydration. Ayurvedically, vomiting can be caused by any of the doshas, but it is most likely the result of a Kapha imbalance. Aromatic herbs, such as cardamom, fennel, and ginger, are the best to redirect vomit (rebellious Vata) downward. Avoid all rich, oily, heavy foods, and focus on very light, easy to digest foods like broth or Grandma's chicken soup. It is also crucial to replenish electrolytes after vomiting. A glass of warm water with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of mineral salt is a natural electrolyte balancer. Disclaimer: Conditions such as 'Vomiting' that cause tissue changes could be serious and should be checked by a medical doctor.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?Ayurveda strengthens the body, in addition to addressing the disorder. It take a holistic, systemic approach, instead of myopically focusing on the disorder in question. Ayurveda shows a person how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using materials from home, so they can optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing with an exceptional focus on digestion.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of gunas / qualities. For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalances (gunas). By eating an optimal diet that balances your gunas, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.
