Spicy But Happy: Taming the Heat for Your Gut

Let's face it, Indians and spice go hand-in-hand. But sometimes, that delicious fiery explosion can leave us with a battle in our bellies – heartburn, bloating, and indigestion! Fear not, spice lovers, there's a way to enjoy the flavor without the after-effects!

The culprit behind the gut grumbles? Capsaicin, the compound that gives chilli peppers their heat. While it adds a kick to our taste buds, it can irritate the digestive tract.

But wait! Before you banish spice from your life, here are some tips to tame the heat and keep your gut happy:

  • Cooling Companions: Pair your fiery dishes with gut-friendly ingredients that soothe the burn. Think cooling raita (yogurt dip) with curries, or a side of fennel seeds after a heavy meal. Fennel seeds are known to aid digestion and reduce bloating. Fennel is a key ingredient in our Post Meal Gut Shot! 
  • Spice Synergy: Certain spices can actually help mitigate the effects of others. Cumin, a common ingredient in Indian cuisine, not only adds warmth but also helps with digestion. Fennel is a key ingredient in our Dadi's Chaas Mix as well as our Morning Gut Shot

This is where your Aikyam premixes come in! Crafted with a blend of age-old wisdom and modern convenience, our premixes incorporate ingredients specifically chosen to complement your love for spice.

For example, our "Post Meal Gut Shot" premix features soothing ingredients like fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, and other cooling spices, designed to calm your gut after a spicy adventure.

So, don't give up on the flavours you love! Embrace the spice, soothe your gut, and enjoy the best of both worlds with Aikyam premixes.
