For managing your condition we have to focus on pacifying Pitta dosa and also vata to manage your physical fresher and displacement associated with hernia 1) Alsactil tablet- 1 tablet 30 minute before meal with warm water 2) sukumaram kwath- 15 ml with 45 ml water early morning and evening on empty stomach 3) avipathi churna- 3 gram at bed time with warm water 4) Dhanwantaram gulika- 1 tablet twice daily 5) amruthotharam kashayam- 15 ml mix with 45 ml water before food in morning and night 👇👇👇👇👇👇 Avoid bending forward immediately after eating. Keep your head elevated by 6-8 inches while sleeping using a wedge pillow (do not just use extra head pillows as this can increase abdominal pressure). Avoid tight belts or waistbands that compress the abdomen. Eat small, frequent meals rather than three large ones. Finish your last meal at least 3 hours before bed. Walk 100 steps slowly after meals to ald downward digestion. Sitting in Vajrasana for 5-10 minutes after meals Include (Favor) Old rice, Barley, Wheat, Poha Ash gourd (Petha), Bottle gourd, Bitter gourd, Pumpkin.Pomegranate, Sweet Lime, Banana, Grapes, Amla. Cold Milk (with a pinch of sugar), Buttermilk Coconut water, Fennel-Coriander tea. 👇👇👇 Avoid Maida, New rice, Millet. Onion, Garlic, Raw Ginger, Chili, Eggplant. Citrus (Lemon/Orange), Sour berries, Pineapple. Thick Curd/Yogurt, Cheese, Fermented Butter. Tea, Coffee, Alcohol, Carbonated drinks. As you have been on your PP eyes for 5 years so suddenly do not stop them try to stop them gradually

Managing GERD and a Hiatus Hernia involves more than just suppressing acid; in Ayurveda, this is viewed through the lens of Amlapitta (acid peptic disorder) and Udavarta (upward movement of Vata), which correlates with the structural displacement of the hernia. ​ ​Ayurveda treats this by balancing Pitta (heat/acidity) and normalizing the Apana Vata (downward energy). While PPIs like Neksium chemically block acid production, Ayurvedic herbs focus on strengthening the digestive fire (Agni), healing the mucosal lining, and improving gastric motility to prevent the “upward surge” caused by the hernia. Start this… 1. ​Alsactil Tablet ​Action: A proprietary formulation specifically for hyperacidity and ulcers. ​Dose: 1 to 2 tablets thrice daily after food. 2. ​Dhanwantharam Hridaya Capsules ​Action: Helpful in managing the “Udavarta” or upward pressure associated with a Hiatus Hernia. ​Dose: 1 capsule twice daily before food. 3. ​Avipathi Churnam ​Action: A traditional purgative that cleanses excess Pitta from the system. ​Dose: 5–10 grams with lukewarm water at bedtime (2-3 times a week). 4. ​Dadimadi Ghritam ​Action: Medicated ghee that acts as a protective buffer for the esophageal lining and corrects Vata. ​Dose: 1 teaspoon with warm water on an empty stomach in the morning. ​Lifestyle “Dos” for Hiatus Hernia ​Meal Volume: Eat small, frequent meals to reduce intragastric pressure. ​Gravity: Avoid lying down for at least 3 hours after eating. ​Vajrasana: Practicing this pose after meals can help align the digestive tract, though avoid heavy core-straining exercises that might worsen the hernia.

hello where can i purchase Dhanwantharam Hridaya capsules? I am not finding Dhanwantharam Hridaya capsules anywhere

You will find it online. By name of Dhanwantaram 101 capsule.

Yes, in some cases PPIs can be reduced or gradually stopped, but not immediately and not in everyone, especially when a hiatus hernia is present . PPIs work by reducing acid production, so they control symptoms but don’t fix the root cause. In hiatus hernia, the stomach position and LES valve weakness are mechanical problems—so reflux tends to persist. That’s why: Ayurveda can improve digestion, reduce acidity, strengthen gut function But it cannot “pull back” the hernia physically Even modern medicine agrees: Up to 50% people still have symptoms despite PPIs Alternatives include breathing therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgery in severe hernia cases So the real solution is combination approach, not just replacing one pill with another. avipattikara churna – before meals yashtimadhu (licorice) – soothing effect shatavari – healing + cooling kamadudha rasa – for pitta control Avoid: Tea/coffee, chocolate, fried food Citrus, tomato, spicy food Late-night meals Follow: Small frequent meals Early dinner (before 7–7:30 pm) Warm, light, slightly alkaline diet

GERD with hiatus hernia is a structural as well as functional issue, so the goal is to reduce acid irritation and improve digestion, not just suppress acid completely like PPIs do. It is usually not advisable to suddenly stop PPIs, especially after long-term use. A gradual reduction along with supportive Ayurvedic medicines is a safer approach. Focus on strict routine. Avoid overeating, late meals, and lying down immediately after food. Keep dinner light and at least 2–3 hours before sleep. Avoid spicy, fried, sour foods, caffeine, and carbonated drinks. Elevating the head end while sleeping will also help reduce reflux. Eat in small, frequent meals rather than large portions. Maintaining healthy weight and avoiding tight clothing around the abdomen is important. At home, you can take cold milk in small quantity when there is burning. Jeera and coriander water during the day can help digestion. Avoid very hot and very cold foods. Avipattikar tablets – 1 tablet twice daily before food Kamdudha ras (moti yukta) – 1 tablet twice daily after food Yashtimadhu (licorice) tablet – 1 tablet twice daily These help in reducing acidity, soothing the stomach lining, and balancing Pitta. Start Ayurvedic medicines while continuing your current PPI, then gradually taper the PPI under guidance depending on symptom control. With consistency, many patients are able to reduce dependency, but complete replacement depends on severity of hernia and lifestyle discipline. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)

Definitely, not only replace ayurveda will give u medicine free life also, In ayurveda GERD is urdhawghat Amlapitta means acid moving in upward direction Best is we have to move it downword direction and remove it through anus region For proper treatment u need one purification therapy for on day(at ur own home) After that start with Tab kamduga mukta 1-1-1 Syrp amlapita mishran 3 tsf thrice a day Tab avipatikar churuna at night These medicines and therapy are more than sufficient
