CAUSES OF INDIGESTION (Dr.Quser) 

Indigestion is the cause of all chronic disorders.  Indigestion is caused due to various factors.  However, it is mainly suffered by people who are  of Lung and Badkhen disposition, weak and thin build body constitution, people who eat non-nutritious foods, who lead sedentary lifestyles, who are depressed, who are under emotional stress and strain, old people, people suffering pain after eating.  It can be also caused from  unusual food habits like eating in the middle of the night, unwholesome food combinations, eating incompatible foods one  after the other. 

Some of the food items like freshly harvested grains, rancid or fungus-affected foods, meat of dead animals, fats, unboiled milk, uncooked food, burnt food, steamed food stored for many days and taken with water,  excessive eating, eating at wrong times also cause indigestion. 

What is indigestion? 
Decomposing Badkhen does not break down food particles. 
Digestive Tipa does not digest and absorb foods 
Fire-like Lung does not separate the nutrients and waste. 

Excessive mucus is produced due to indigestion which obstructs the flow of blood and energies in various channels of the body and in the long run causes various chronic disorders. 

Types of Indigestion 

Indigestion can be explained by the substance which caused it, the nature of indigestion, class of indigestion, co-factors and time factors. 

'The substances' means all our solid, liquid and oils food items.  Indigestion which is caused due to liquids and oils are considered to be more severe. 

By nature there are two kinds of indigestion. 
Indigestion of the waste and 
Indigestion of the esensence. 

Indigestion of the waste means that foods remain undigested in the digestive tract and become enveloped by the mucus.  If this happens for a long time, it becomes a tumour. 

Indigestion of the essence means malabsorption.  This happens when foods are not absorbed properly by the fire-like Lung, whereby nutrients and the waste get mixed and enter the path of nutrients during the proces of metabolic activities.   If this condition remains for a long time, then it causes tumour, aneamia, dropsy, skin disease, toxemia, cancer, gout, arthritis, jaundice, varicose veins, elephantitis, peptic and duodenal ulcers, spleen diseases etc. 

There are four kinds of indigestion, classified into groups: 

Phlegmatic indigestion, which is primarily caused due to excessive production of mucus and blocks the flow of energies.  It is also considered as the root cause of all other indigestion. 

Gastro-enterological disorder, whereby the excessive mucus obstructs the channels of downward cleansing lung, resulting in upward movement of air and food items.  It becomes an ulcer when it remains for a long time. 

'Wooden stick'-like, in which there is complete obstruction of Lung channels and whereby fire-like Lung enters the blood vessels of Liver, Splen and around the ribs. 

Like toxamia, malabsorption of the food pervades throughout the blood vessels and keeps collecting the malabsorbed particles in all the vessels and then manifests a symptom like that affected by the poisons. 

There are three kinds of indigestion due to co-factors. 
They are Lung, Tipa and Badkhen types. 

By time factors, indigestion can be either new or old.
