Unhealthy digestion leads to an unhealthy life. Healthy digestion assures that all the nutrients that person intakes through the way of food are assimilated in a healthy manner into the cells for the proper functioning of the human body. In other words, if you digest properly, your body functions effectively. If the digestive process of a person is weak, it affects the tissues of the body, such as the muscles, the nerves, and more often the body becomes susceptible to diseases. The symptoms of poor digestion are constipation, diarrhoea, burping, burning, vomiting, indigestion, bloating and pain in the abdomen.

According to Ayurveda, Vata, Pitta and Kapha control the functioning of the human body. A proper balance between these three elements of the human body leads to good health. Bellytone from Branolia helps in the proper functioning of the digestive system. People suffering from constipation and other gastroenterological problems are often recommended Bellytone from the house of Branolia.

The main function of the gastrointestinal system is to extract and process nutrients from the food that a person consumes. The main causes of gastrointestinal problems such as constipation, vomiting, irritable bowel syndrome are:

1. Mal-absorption disorders
2. inflammation of the stomach and small intestine due to viral or bacterial infection from contaminated food, a bad reaction to something you ate or a side effect of a medication
3. inflammation of the large intestine that may be triggered by certain foods or bacterial infections
4. other inflammatory bowel diseases (such as Crohn’s disease)
5. ulcers in the stomach
6. cancer of the digestive system
7. diseases such as depression, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, underactive or overactive thyroid gland

Bellytone from Branolia is an ayurvedic formulation that addresses the issues pertaining to gastrointestinal problems and helps in enhancing the overall well – being of the entire digestive system. The most important herbs used in Bellytone are, Haritaki, Sonapata Teori, and Ajowan.
In Ayurveda:

1. Haritaki – Terminalia Chebulais considered as one of the most important drugs to treat gastrointestinal diseases. Haritaki helps in easing the bowel movement and it helps in having a balancing effect on Pitta, Vata and Kapha. The benefits of Haritaki can be listed as

• Chewing the Haritaki fruit causes an increase in digestion power.
• If it is made into a paste and eaten, it clears and cleanses bowels.
• If it is steamed or boiled, it becomes absorbent, useful in malabsorption syndrome.
• If it is fried and used, it is useful in Tridosha imbalance conditions.
• If Haritaki is taken after food, it helps to eliminate all the toxic effects due to food poisoning.
• If it is taken along with salt, it balances Kapha
• If taken with sugar, it balances Pitta and if taken with ghee, it balances Vata disorders.
• Sonapata – Shyonaka (Oroxylum Indicum) is an effective Ayurvedic medicinal herb against gastrointestinal disease. Sonapata fruit is known to balance Vata and Kapha. It not only strengthens digestion but is also used in gynaecological disorders and childhood psychological diseases.
