Prof. Dr. B.T. Chidananda Murthy
Oct 2010

It is mentioned in our scriptures, the earth, in order of creation occupies fifth position. In order of preference also, we first need space, then air, heat, water and food. But, it is as important as other elements due its significant role for the acquisition, sustenance, maintenance, and restoration of health. Blood-lymph-harmones, the vital fluids for the body, cells, tissues, muscle organs, skin, bones etc. is the product of the food that we eat. The natural food taken moderately in accordance with the laws of eating for health, serves for growth & replacement of cells, supplies nutrients, known & unknown trace elements, enzymes of the body for their repair maintenance and sustenance of their health, to maintain, regenerate the vital forces or life force.

Hyperacidity, Constipation: - It is believed that constipation is a root cause of all diseases & it is to greater extent true in cases of digestive disorders. It is always better to go into the causative factors of the diseases & not give a pill or drug as remedy, which would only suppress the condition & later the very pill or drug becomes a poison to its side effects & as well as not treating the cause of the diseases.

There are certain symptoms & according to causative factors natural remedies can be advocated.

1. Pain is abdominal region, upper or lower, indicates acidity and constipation respectively, each one is the precipitator of the other.

2. Nausea - due to acidity - wrong eating, constipation.

3. Bloatedness (flatullence) sometimes vomiting due to acidity

4. Heartburn

5. Gastro- intestinal gas - constipation due to improper eating, improper elimination, worms etc.

6. Stress - adrenalin, the fight hormone increases the acid release in stomach cells of the mucosa, muscles are controlled partly by the nerves which come through serosal membrane, the vagus nerve, which begins in the brain, blood vessels also come into the stomach which supplies oxygen - creates heart burn.

7. Smoking, excessive alcohol, spicy, preservative and processed foods.

8. Excessive sensory stimulus - which increases the normal production - gastrin - harmone stimulates & releases HCl and pepsin into the stomach, it also affects other glands, such as the pancreas to prepare the body for the nutrients, which will soon be absorbed into the blood stream. Gastrin is stimulated by smell, taste, seeing.

The above mentioned symptoms are indicative of the remedial measures, which needs to be natural live diet and not drugs or pills. There needs to be balance of acid-alkaline, to bring true health.
