Shunti (Zingiber officinale) enhances digestion, reduces bloating, and acts as an anti-inflammatory. Ajamoda (Trachyspermum ammi) is a potent carminative and antispasmodic, helping in colic pain and indigestion. Saindhava Lavana (Rock Salt) is a natural digestive aid that balances electrolytes and promotes smooth digestion. Jeeraka (Cuminum cyminum) is a well-known spice that stimulates digestion and reduces gas. Hingu (Ferula assa-foetida) is the most crucial component, acting as a powerful anti-flatulent, reducing bloating, and enhancing digestion.
