Understanding Acidity & GERD (एसिडिटी) from Ayurvedic Perspective
Key Symptoms: burning sensation in chest (heartburn), sour taste in mouth, regurgitation of food, difficulty swallowing, worsening when lying down or bending.
Ayurvedic Root Cause: Amlapitta — Pitta excess in Amashaya (stomach) causing abnormal acid production — irregular meals, spicy food and stress are primary triggers.
Modern medicine provides symptomatic relief for Acidity & GERD but rarely addresses the underlying doshic imbalance. Ayurveda corrects this fundamental imbalance — providing more lasting and holistic healing. The Ayurvedic approach combines targeted herbs, dietary changes and lifestyle modifications for comprehensive management.
