Hyper acidity more than a year. Want a permanent healing solution - #31475
I have been suffering from hyperacidity (Amlapitta) for more than a year. My main symptoms include frequent burning sensation in the chest and stomach, sour belching, heaviness after meals, and occasional nausea. The discomfort often increases after eating spicy, oily, or heavy foods, and sometimes even simple meals cause irritation. I also experience acidity at night, which disturbs my sleep and leads to uneasiness in the morning. Over the past year, I have tried home remedies such as drinking cold milk, cumin water, and coconut water, which give temporary relief but do not solve the problem permanently. I also notice that stress, irregular eating patterns, and long gaps between meals make my acidity worse. I often feel bloated and sometimes get a mild headache or restlessness along with the burning sensation. This long-term problem is affecting my energy levels and concentration. I wish to find a permanent solution through Ayurveda that can correct the root cause, balance my digestion, and prevent recurrence. I am looking for a treatment plan that includes suitable Ayurvedic medicines, dietary guidance, and lifestyle changes to restore my digestive health and bring lasting relief.

hello soni,
I hear you clearly. Living with Amlapitta (hyperacidity) for more than a year with constant burning, sour belching, heaviness, and disturbed sleep is very draining. The temporary remedies you’ve tried are good for quick relief, but as you said, they don’t touch the root cause. Ayurveda aims to settle the irritation, balance your digestion, and prevent recurrence.
Step 1 – Settle the burning and irritation (first 10–15 days) Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water, twice daily after meals (reduces burning and sour belching). Kamadhudha Ras (Plain) – 1 tablet twice daily with honey (soothes the stomach lining). Shatavarighrita – 1 tsp at night with lukewarm water (heals irritation, improves sleep).
Step 2 – Strengthen digestion (after initial relief, from 2nd week onwards) Sukumara Ghrita – 1 tsp early morning with lukewarm water (restores digestion and bowel balance). Dadimashtaka Churna – ½ tsp before meals with warm water (reduces heaviness, improves metabolism). Shankha Vati – 1 tablet after meals if bloating is troubling.
Step 3 – Food Guidance (very important)
What to eat more: Soft rice, moong dal khichdi, cooked vegetables (bottle gourd, ash gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd). Pomegranate, banana (ripe), apple, soaked almonds. Tender coconut water, jeera water, buttermilk (thin, with a pinch of roasted cumin).
What to avoid: Spicy, fried, oily foods. Excess tea, coffee, and late-night heavy dinners. Long gaps between meals – instead, eat small frequent meals.
Step 4 – Lifestyle support Maintain fixed meal times – don’t skip breakfast. Avoid lying down immediately after eating; take a short walk. Sleep on time; poor sleep worsens acidity. Manage stress – daily pranayama (Nadi Shodhana / deep breathing) for 5–10 minutes calms acidity.
Investigations (just to be safe) Upper GI endoscopy (if not done in the last year). Hb% (to check if long acidity has caused anemia). H. pylori test (if not checked already).
This is not something you have to live with lifelong. Once your stomach irritation calms down and digestion is reset, the frequency of acidity will reduce and your energy and concentration will return. Ayurveda works slowly but deeply – within a few weeks you’ll notice better sleep and lighter digestion, and over months, the burning and belching will stop troubling you. Stay consistent, and you’ll definitely see lasting relief.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO SONI,
WHAT IS HAPPENING? -In Ayurveda, your problem is close to Amlapitta (acidic disorder) -Because of irregular digestion (Agni mandya) and pitta aggravation, excessive sour digestive juices are formed -These move upward-> causing burning in chest and throat, acid reflux, bitter taste, nausea -Ama (toxic undigested food) from previous infection/medicines worsens it
TREATMENT GOALS 1) AMA PACHANA= burn/remove residual ama (toxic undigested food) 2) PITTA SHAMANA= balance excess acidity and heat 3) STROTOSHODHANA= clear channels, reduce upward movement of acid 4) AGNI DEEPANA= strengthen digestion without increasing acidity 5) RASA DHATU POSHAN= restore lining of stomach, throat, and oesophagus 6) PREVENTION= long-term lifestyle and diet to stop recurrence
PHASE 1= AMA PACHANA (DIGESTIVE TOXIN REMOVAL) WHY?= antibiotics + weak digestion-> ama accumulation-> worsening acidity Goal= remove toxins, make digestion clean
-HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1 tsp with ghee before meals =improves digestion, reduces bloating
-SHUNTHI CHURNA= with honey = little dose, if no burning
-GUDUCHI DECOCTION = 30 ml balances both ama and pitta
HOME REMEDIES -warm water sipping throughout the day -jeera-ajwain-saunf boiled water -avoid milk and heavy foods at this stage
DURATION= 7-10 days till heaviness, indigestion reduces
PHASE 2= PITTA SHAMAN (ACIDITY CONTROL AND COOLING) WHY?= once ama reduces , we cool and protect stomach + throat
-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before meals =reduces acidity, cleans stomach
-KAMDUDHA RASA (mukta yukta)= 1 tab twice daily with ghee/milk =soothes burning, heals
-YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with lukewarm milk =protects stomach lining, heals throat
-AMALAKI CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm in morning empty stomach =cooling, vitamin c, tissue repair
DURATION= 4-6 weeks after phase 1
PHASE 3= RASAYANA (rejuvination and strengthening) WHY?= to rebuild mucosal lining and prevent recurrence
-AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily with honey
-SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk in morning =strengthens digestion, cooling, balances pitta
-TRIPHALA WITH GHEE AT NIGHT= 1 tsp maintains digestion + bowel regulation
DURATION= 2-3 months for long term balance
DIET -old rice, wheat, oats, barley -moong dal, green gram soup -ash gourd, bottle gourd, ridge gourd, cucumber, pumpkin -sweet fruits= apple, pomegranate, banana (ripe, not raw), melon -ghee in small amounts , milk (lukewarm, not chilled), coconut water -spices= coriander, cumin, fennel, cardamom
AVOID -very spicy, sour, fried, junk food -excess tea, coffee, aerated drinks, alcohol -curd, pickles, vinegar, tomato in excess -long fasting, overeating , late night meals
LIFESTYLE -Eat at fixed times, chew well -Do not sleep immediately after eating (wait 2-3 hrs) -walk slowly after meals -stress is a big trigger-> practice meditation or deep breathing
YOGA ASANA -vajrasana after meals -pawanmuktasana= gas relief -ardha matsyendrasana= improves digestion -Avoid strong backbends they worsen reflux
PRANAYAM -Sheetali and sheetkari= cooling pranayam -nadi sodhana= balances doshas -avoid kapalbhati initially
HOME REMEDIES -jeera-dhaniya-saunf water daily -cold milk with little ghee= instant relief in burning -Aloe vea juice 2 tsp on empty stomach- mucosal healing -coconut water= best natural pitta pacifier
-Your condition is Amlapitta due to pitta aggravation + weak digestion -Ayurveda aims to first clear toxins (ama), then cool pita, then strengthen digestion and mucosal lining -Treatment is long term and stepwise not just short acid suppresion
DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

For managing hyperacidity, or Amlapitta as we call it in Ayurveda, a holistic approach centered on diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies can be very effective. The symptoms you’re experiencing indicate an imbalance of Pitta dosha, which needs addressing to seek lasting relief.
First, focus on your diet, which plays a crucial role in managing acidity. You should try incorporating cooling, easily digestible foods and avoid those that trigger your symptoms. Foods such as ripe bananas, melons, cucumbers, leafy greens, and asparagus can be soothing and help maintain digestive balance. Prefer freshly cooked meals, as stale food aggravates Pitta. Avoid sour, spicy foods, coffee, and carbonated beverages, which can increase acidity.
For herbal remedies, Triphala is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation that can aid in cleansing and harmonizing the digestive tract. Consider taking half a teaspoon with warm water at bedtime. Additionally, Avipattikar Churna is another effective remedy for neutralizing excessive stomach acid and can be taken before meals with warm water.
In terms of lifestyle, establish a regular eating schedule - consistency helps balance digestive fire (Agni). Try not to skip meals and eat in a calm environment. Practice mindful eating; chew thoroughly, and avoid eating late at night. Stress management is critical, as stress exacerbates Pitta. Techniques such as meditation, Pranayama, or yoga can be very beneficial. Yoga poses like Vajrasana post-meal can specifically aid digestion.
Maintaining proper hydration is essential – drink room temperature or warm water throughtout the day, which aids digestion. However, avoid drinking too much water during meals, as that may dilute digestive enzymes.
Consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance and Ayurvedic medicines, as self-prescribing can sometimes lead to unwanted effects if not administered properly. Make these changes part of your daily routine, and over time you may notice a significant improvement in your symptoms.
For long-standing hyperacidity, the key is addressing both immediate symptom relief and the underlying imbalances causing those symptoms. In Ayurveda, hyperacidity or Amlapitta is often linked to increased Pitta dosha and weak digestive fire (Agni). Here’s a comprehensive plan focusing on medicines, diet, and lifestyle:
Ayurvedic Medicines: 1. Avipattikar Churna: Take half a teaspoon with warm water twice a day, ideally 30 mins before meals. It helps balance Pitta and improve digestion. 2. Kamdudha Ras: One tablet twice a day after meals with honey. This soothes the stomach lining and reduces acidity. 3. Yashtimadhu Churna (Licorice powder): A teaspoon mixed in milk once daily can help reduce burning and heal stomach irritation.
Dietary Guidelines: 1. Eat smaller, frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between eating to keep Agni balanced. 2. Favor cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods like cucumbers, sweet fruits, and naturally sweet flavors. 3. Limit spicy, oily, and citric foods as they aggravate Pitta and acidity. 4. Try including buttermilk with roasted cumin during lunch, which aids digestion.
Lifestyle Modifications: 1. Practice regular meal timings. Including a 5-10 min post-meal walk can boost digestion. 2. Stress management through daily yoga or meditation is vital, as stress significantly impacts your digestion. 3. Ensure you sleep with your head elevated to prevent nighttime acid reflux.
General Precautions: If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional to ensure there’s no serious underlying condition.
Integrating these approaches can gradually strengthen your digestion and reduce hyperacidity. It might take time, so patience and consistency are key to achieving lasting relief.
