Chronic digestive disorders—such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Acid Reflux, Gastritis, Ulcerative Colitis, and others—are more than just uncomfortable symptoms. They can significantly affect your quality of life, energy levels, and mental health. At Pathyasathi Ayurveda, located in Santiniketan, Bolpur, we focus on holistic, Ayurvedic methods to address not only the symptoms but also the root causes of digestive imbalances.
