Hyperacidity can be such a bother, right? Unani medicine does see it as an imbalance in the body temperament, often linked to a dominance of hot or dry qualities. Compared to Ayurveda, where issues might be due to a Pitta imbalance, Unani focuses on the humor imbalance – especially Safra (yellow bile), which stimulates excessive heat.
You’re spot on mentioning Safoof-e-Sujan and Jawarish Kamooni. These are quite popular in Unani for tackling acidity. Safoof-e-Sujan generally helps by easing digestion and neutralizing excess acid. It’s typically taken after meals, about a teaspoon with water or honey. Jawarish Kamooni enhances digestive strength, improving agni (digestive fire) by balancing the gastrointestinal tract. You can take 5-10 grams, preferably after food with warm water. Results vary, but some notice improvements in a couple of weeks.
Khameera Gaozaban is another soothing remedy—it helps cool down the system, promoting a calm mind too. Sip on it twice daily for a gentle effect.
Now, regarding Arq-e-Mundi and Itrifal Ustukhuddus, both primarily balance stomach acidity and provide relief. Drink Arq-e-Mundi like a tonic, say 25-30 ml once or twice daily. Intrifal Istr, however, is more laxative and could help detoxify the system, take it in moderation.
And yes, diet is a massive part of recovery! Avoid spicy, fried, and overly hot foods. Favor cooling items like watermelon, cucumber, or buttermilk. Regular light meals, not heavy hard to digest stuff.
Unani meds are generally safe but consult a practitioner for long-term use. Sometimes overuse could lead to different imbalances or digestive issues.
Many have managed acidity with these practices. It’s more about persistence and patience. It might not be instant, but often worth it long-term. Balance is key, so listen to your body and adjust accordingly. 🕉️
