When I began taking the herbs, I experienced gas and sometimes burning in my stomach. Why?
Serving Those Who Serve, Inc.It's not the herbs that were creating the gas. Ayurveda does not believe in suppressing anything. Again, when you are removing the toxins, when they are coming out, sometimes they can create disturbances. But these are all temporary disturbances.
