Acidity Ayurvedic Treatment

What is Acidity?

Acidity is a common medical condition caused due to excessive production of acid by the stomach, which flows back into the food pipe and causes pain or burning sensation in the lower chest area. In ayurveda it is referred to as Amla Pitta, indicating an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which is responsible for digestion.

Ayurvedic treatment for acidity focuses on balancing the aggravated Pitta Dosha. It is done by adopting dietary and lifestyle changes, along with the use of natural remedies to eliminate symptoms and address the root causes. Ayurveda recommends the consumption of cooling and soothing foods such as fruits, vegetables, and herbal remedies to reduce acidity symptoms.

Additionally, Acidity’s Ayurvedic treatment contains ingredients like Amla (Indian gooseberry), Yashtimadhu (licorice), and Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus prostratus) to support digestion and provide relief from acidity. These herbal remedies have a calming effect on the digestive system and help reduce the excessive production of stomach acid.
