Ayurveda, which is an ancient Indian system of curing people with herbs and holistic method says, imbalanced Vata and Pitta Dosha are the reason of Gastroparesis. Pitta is the heat or fire which controls the digestion and Vata is the air or wind. Low Pitta Dosha and Vata Dosha result in low digestive. The food we eat is digested by our digestive fire and is converted into nutrient plasma. In case of Gastroparesis the body produces ama or toxins instead of healthy nutrient plasma.
