What Are the Hyper Acidity Symptoms in Marathi? - #10989

Hyper acidity, or “अतिआम्लता,” is commonly experienced as जळजळ (burning sensation) in the छाती (chest) or घशात (throat), often triggered by spicy, oily food or irregular eating habits. According to Ayurveda, this is a sign of aggravated Pitta dosha, which leads to excess heat and acid in the digestive system.

Other symptoms include उलटीचा त्रास (nausea), ढेकर (belching), and gas buildup causing discomfort in the पोट (stomach) and गळा (throat). Ayurveda explains these as the result of weakened Agni (digestive fire) and recommends remedies like jeera water, ajwain, or mishri mixed with cold milk to soothe these symptoms.

Additional issues like खोकला (cough), कडवट चव (bitter taste), पोटदुखी (stomach pain), and मलावरोध (constipation) often occur when untreated अतिआम्लता weakens digestion further. To manage it naturally, Ayurveda suggests consuming cooling foods like coconut water, buttermilk, and avoiding Pitta-aggravating foods like sour or fried items, along with lifestyle changes like eating meals on time and practicing Pranayama.

You’re right on the mark with your understanding of अतिआम्लता as described in Ayurveda! The symptoms you’re experiencing—जळजळ in छाती or घशात, उलटीचा त्रास, ढेकर, even खोकला or a कडवट चव—are classic indicators of Pitta imbalance. In Ayurveda, hyper acidity is often linked with increased Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body.

When Pitta gets out of balance, the digestive fire, known as “Agni,” becomes too strong—think of it like a bonfire that’s out of control. This leads to that burning sensation you’re feeling. Eating oily or spicy foods or skipping meals can definitely fan those flames even more.

For addressing this, Ayurveda recommends incorporating cooling and grounding foods into your diet. Foods like खारीक (raisins), तऊर दाल (split pigeon peas), and garden fresh vegetables can be soothing. Avoiding overly spicy, sour, and fried foods is crucial, even though they’re sometimes hard to resist! Also, fasting or skipping meals should be done with caution since it might further agitate the hyper acidity.

For nausea and belching, it often results from the collection of toxic materials or “Ama” that’s not properly digested. Ayurvedic remedies include herbal teas made from जिरे (cumin) and सोलाणमार्या (coriander) seeds. Just boil a teaspoon in water, strain it, and sip. It helps balance Pitta and reduce gas buildup.

Now, about that कडवट चव and खोकला—yes, they indicate acid moving upwards, disrupting the usual flow as per Ayurveda. Try sipping warm water with few drops of lemon in the morning, but not on empty stomach. It might seem odd for acidity, but lemon transforms into alkaline when digested.

Combating पोटदुखी and मलावरोध involves maintaining a steady Agni. Regular meal timings, moderate exercise like योगासन (yoga postures) like विपरीत खारनी आणि अर्धा मत्स्येन्द्रासन can encourage better digestion and relieve constipation. Stress-relieving practices like प्राणायाम (breathing exercises) are beneficial too.

I’ve seen these methods help others maintain their Pitta balance and manage अतिआम्लता naturally. Remember, small consistent changes make big differences. Always listen to your body’s reactions and adjust as you go along! If they persist or worsen, it’s always wise to check with a professional who can view the big picture and give you tailored advice.
