THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Hello, Thank you for sharing your concerns. Let us go through both issues acidity and infection under the breasts in a simple and professional way so you can manage them effectively at home
1. Managing Acidity Naturally:
Acidity develops when the digestive fire (Agni) becomes irregular and excess Pitta (heat) accumulates in the stomach. In elderly persons, this often happens due to weak digestion, irregular meal timing, or excess tea, coffee, and spicy food.
Natural remedies to control acidity:
Home remedies: 1. Drink a small glass of cold milk or tender coconut water once daily to neutralize acid. 2. Boil one teaspoon of cumin seeds in a glass of water, cool it, and sip slowly after meals. 3. Take ¼ teaspoon of Licorice (Yashtimadhu) powder with lukewarm water twice daily to soothe the stomach. 4. Have 10 ml of Amla (Indian gooseberry) juice every morning to reduce burning and support digestion.
Ayurvedic medicines (safe for adults and elderly): 1. Avipattikara Churna – ½ teaspoon with warm water after dinner. 2. Kamdugdha Ras – 1 tablet twice daily after food with cool water.
Dietary advice: 1. Eat warm, light, non-spicy meals. 2. Include ghee, cooked rice, moong dal, bottle gourd, and pumpkin. 3. Avoid fried, sour, and spicy foods, as well as excess tea or coffee. 4. Avoid eating very late at night and do not skip meals.
2. Infection Under the Breasts (Fungal or Yeast Rash)
This type of rash is common under the breasts due to warmth, sweat, and friction. It is usually caused by a fungal infection such as Candida.
Home care: 1. Keep the area clean and completely dry. 2. Wash gently with mild soap and lukewarm water, then pat dry. 3. Wear loose, cotton undergarments and avoid synthetic fabrics. 4. Dust the area lightly with a mix of Neem powder and turmeric powder to prevent moisture buildup.
Local application: 1. Apply Triphala Churna paste (mixed with a few drops of coconut oil) for 10–15 minutes, then rinse gently. 2. Apply Nalpamaradi Taila lightly at night for 5 days to help reduce redness and itching. 3. If the area looks moist or fungal infection is active, use Candid cream twice daily for 7–10 days.
If redness, itching, or pain increases, it is best to have the area checked by a doctor to confirm the type of infection before continuing any local treatment.
Both acidity and fungal rash are manageable with consistent care and mild home remedies. Acidity usually improves within one to two weeks when diet and routine are corrected. The rash under the breasts heals faster when the area is kept dry and antifungal support is continued for a few days.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

For managing acidity naturally in the elderly and adults, understanding your diet and lifestyle is key. Acidity, often due to an imbalanced pitta dosha, can be managed through diet and daily habits. Consider eating smaller, frequent meals instead of large ones to not overwhelm your digestive system. Aim to have your dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime, this can be very helpful to allow proper digestion. Avoid food that aggravate acidity like, spicy, fried and oily dishes, caffeinated beverages, or alcohol.
Triy some cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water, which help to pacify pitta. You can also add a pinch of cardamom or cumin powder to your meals to assist digestion. Practicing mindful eating - eat slowely and avoid consuming water immediately after meals.
For the infection under the breasts, keeping the area dry and clean is very imperative. Wearing cotton bras that allow air circulation can help. Turmeric, with its antimicrobial properties, can be beneficial; you may mix it with water to make a paste and apply it gently to the affected area. Leave it on for about 20 mins before rinsing off with warm water. A paste of neem leaves can help too due to its antiseptic qualities.
Regarding topical creams, while Ayurveda prefers natural treatments, you could consider using Calendula or Aloe Vera gel, known for their soothing and healing properties. Apply them gently to the area twice daily. However, if the infection is severe or not improving, seek professional medical help, for it could require more comprehensive treatment than home remedies could offer.
