Yoga Therapy for Digestive Disorders – How Emotions Increase Gastritis

Yoga for Digestive Disorders show how emotions increase gastritis and Yoga therapy shows how to deal with them



When a person is emotionally excited, there is intense activity triggered off in the limbic area of the person’s brain. From there are transmitted messages down to hypothalamus. This is the controller of the stress orchestra



From there the excitation goes down the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic system triggers off production of hydrochloric acid. This is done through release of a local hormone from the lower end of your stomach



The parasympathetic system also directly stimulates the acid producing oxyntic cells in the lining of your stomach.

Yoga for Digestive Disorders postulates that the excitement that is transmitted down the sympathetic channel narrows down the blood vessels in the stomach lining. This gives rise to lowered production of both the quantity and quality in mucus As a result of this lowered blood flow the capability to repair and restore damaged lining cells also gets decelerated. Further, when a person is stressed, it is well known that his or her immune system is incompetent to handle the germs of the region. This incapacity of the immune system, the white blood corpuscles, in the lining of the stomach to kill the germs gives the germs the upper hand As a result, they are able to easily penetrate the stomach lining and enjoy their meal from deeper layers of the person’s stomach!

Now you are able to see how each one of the guardians' grows weaker as a result of the old unrestrained emotions. This is all the result of Stress. All this is basically the result of our life style It is the result of the wishy-washy quest for more and more wealth, name, fame or position and status in society. As a result, over time it further leads to aggressive behavior, drinking, smoking, so on and so forth. Hence, stressfully demanding situations give rise to long standing emotional upsurges. They, in turn, result in an imbalance between aggressors and protectors. This, subsequently, results in the aggressors getting the upper hand and damaging the stomach lining.
