Ayurvedic Treatment for Acidity, IBS and Digestive Problems in Dubai

Ayurvedic gastrointestinal treatment looks at your dosha, digestive fire (Agni), meal timing, food and stress, and combines herbal medicines, digestive therapies and diet changes. At RamaCare in Jumeirah 1 it starts with a consultation with Dr. Shamna Keloth Meethal (BAMS), with a GP in the same building for any medical checks.

Yes. Ayurveda calls acidity Amlapitta and links it to aggravated Pitta. Care may include Avipattikar churna, Takradhara, a cooling diet and lighter, earlier dinners. Persistent reflux, trouble swallowing or weight loss need a medical check first.

Yes. Ayurveda describes IBS as Grahani, linked to weak Agni and Vata. Care may include digestive herbs, Takra (medicated buttermilk), regular warm meals, stress support and, when suitable, Basti. IBS is long-term, so the aim is fewer and milder flare-ups.

Ayurveda links constipation (Vibandha) to Vata. Care may include Triphala as prescribed, more fluids, ghee and fibre, regular meals and, for some patients, Virechana or Basti.

Bloating is usually linked to Vata and weak Agni. Hingvastak churna, ginger and cumin, warm cooked food, eating slowly and avoiding cold drinks with meals are traditionally used.

Common classical formulas include Avipattikar churna for acidity, Hingvastak churna for gas and bloating, and Triphala for regular bowels. Dr. Shamna prescribes them according to your assessment; do not self-medicate long term.

Takradhara is medicated buttermilk poured in a steady stream over the forehead. It is traditionally used to calm Pitta, heat and stress, which are common drivers of acidity and IBS.

Dhanyamla Dhara is a warm stream of fermented herbal liquid poured over the body, traditionally used for heaviness, sluggish digestion and Vata-Kapha conditions. The doctor decides whether it suits you.

Virechana (therapeutic purgation) is traditionally used for Pitta-related digestive problems, and Basti (medicated enema) for Vata problems such as IBS with constipation and bloating. Both are supervised Panchakarma therapies, given only after assessment.

See a doctor first for weight loss, blood in the stool or black stools, vomiting blood, difficulty swallowing, severe or night-time pain, fever, or a new change in bowel habit lasting weeks. At RamaCare our GP is in the same building.

Heat raises Pitta in Ayurvedic terms, and summer habits such as iced drinks, late meals and less sleep add to it. Cooling foods, regular meals and avoiding spicy, fried and sour food usually help.

Very spicy, sour, fried and fermented food, coffee, energy drinks and alcohol, and lying down soon after meals. Your own triggers are identified at the consultation.

Yes. Stress is one of the strongest triggers of IBS and can worsen acidity. Regular meals, sleep and stress support, including therapies such as Takradhara, are part of Ayurvedic care.

Often yes, but never stop prescribed medicines on your own. Tell both doctors about everything you take; at RamaCare the GP and Ayurvedic doctor can coordinate in the same building.

It depends on the problem and how long you have had it. Many plans run for several weeks with follow-ups; long-term conditions such as IBS need ongoing care. Progress is reviewed at each visit.

An Ayurvedic digestive consultation with Dr. Shamna starts from AED 200 and takes 45–60 minutes. Medicines and therapies are priced according to your plan and confirmed in writing before you start.

Yes. Male patients are treated by a male therapist and female patients by a female therapist for therapies such as Takradhara and Basti.
