Your current mix of powdered saunf (fennel), ajwain (carom), and jeera (cumin) is a well-established Ayurvedic digestive remedy. The combination works well because:
Half a teaspoon after meals is the correct dosage �.Recommendations to Reduce Bloating & Acidity
Best Practices for Taking the Powder
Timing: Take after meals (best for bloating/heaviness) �

Additional Lifestyle Measures
Recommended Composition Change for 70-Year-Olds
For healthy 70-year-olds, I recommend adding two ingredients to improve efficacy while reducing potential side effects:
Enhanced Digestive Powder Formula
Why This Change for Seniors?
Less ajwain — Elderly bodies are more prone to "heat" and dryness; excessive ajwain can cause discomfort �
Dry ginger (sonth) — Particularly effective for senior indigestion; boosts enzyme activity �
Hing (asafoetida) — Extremely effective for bloating/gas; increases bile and enzyme activity �
Dosage for 70-Year-Olds
¼–½ tsp after meals (start with ¼ tsp) �
With lukewarm water �
Maximum twice daily �
Precautions for Elderly
Bottom line: Your original mix is excellent. For 70-year-olds, reduce ajwain by half, add dry ginger and a pinch of hing for better enzyme stimulation and gas relief, and always start with ¼ tsp to assess tolerance.
