🔶 Introduction – What is Acidity?

Acidity, also known as acid reflux or hyperacidity, is a common problem in urban India. It causes burning sensation in the chest, sour burps, bloating, and indigestion.

In Ayurveda, acidity is linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha – the fire element in the body. When Pitta increases, it leads to excessive heat and acid formation in the stomach.

Main Causes:

• Spicy, oily, fried food
• Eating late at night
• Long gaps between meals
• Stress, anxiety
• Alcohol and smoking
• Irregular eating habits

🔶 Acidity in Ayurveda – A Pitta Imbalance

In Ayurveda, Amla Pitta is the term for acidity.
It happens when digestive fire (Agni) becomes irregular, producing too much acid.

According to Ayurveda:

"Pitta prakopa karak aahar-vihar" 

causes Amla Pitta.
Meaning – foods and habits that increase heat (Pitta) in the body cause acidity.

🔶 My Friend's Experience with Ayurvedic Treatment

One of my friends had been struggling with acidity for years. 

Daily antacids and tablets were giving only temporary relief. 

She consulted an Ayurvedic doctor who guided her through simple changes:

• Morning jeera water
• Avoiding curd at night
• Eating early dinner
• Using Avipattikar Churna

Within 3 weeks, she felt major relief and stopped using antacids completely.

💡 Keep a fixed routine – body loves rhythm, not confusion.

🔶 When to See a Doctor?

If your acidity symptoms are frequent (more than 3 times a week), or you experience:

• Chest pain
• Black stools
• Constant vomiting
• Unexplained weight loss

Consult an Ayurvedic physician or gastroenterologist. Early treatment prevents ulcers or GERD.

🚫What to Avoid During Acidity – Common Triggers

One of the most important parts of managing acidity naturally is to avoid foods that disturb the digestive fire (Agni). From what I have seen, skipping meals or eating at irregular times is a major trigger for many. Try not to eat very late at night, and avoid lying down immediately after meals.

Some patients I guided had a habit of drinking cold water during meals, which diluted their digestive juices and made acidity worse. Instead, take warm water or jeera water with food.

Also, processed snacks like chips, bakery items, spicy fried food, and excessive tea/coffee are not friendly for your stomach lining. Even some "healthy" items like sour curd, vinegar-loaded salads, and canned juices can worsen reflux symptoms if not balanced well.

🧘🏻‍♂️Listen to Your Body

Ayurveda teaches us to respect our body and its signals. If you're feeling frequent burping, bloating, or a sour throat, don’t ignore it. Start with simple changes like early dinners, chewing food properly, and drinking herbal teas like saunf, ajwain, or ginger. I’ve seen these basic habits help more than fancy medicines.

If symptoms are chronic, consult an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized guidance. Every body type is different, and prakriti (dosha-based constitution) matters in acidity.

🔶 Final Words – My Suggestion

In my Ayurvedic studies, I’ve learned that acid reflux is not just a stomach problem – it’s a lifestyle disorder.
If you correct your food, daily routine, and mindset – half the battle is already won.

Skip the antacid. Try desi nuskhe + Ayurvedic lifestyle.
Your body is made to heal, naturally.
