How to Cure GERD Permanently in Ayurveda? - #11230
I’ve been struggling with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) for nearly two years, and it’s been a constant source of discomfort. I experience severe heartburn, a burning sensation in my throat, and sometimes even regurgitation of food. I’ve tried antacids and other medicines, but the relief is always temporary. Is it possible to learn how to cure GERD permanently in Ayurveda? From what I’ve read, Ayurveda looks at GERD as a Pitta imbalance, and it emphasizes long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. Are there specific herbal remedies that can help address GERD permanently? I’ve heard about herbs like licorice (mulethi), amla, and giloy being helpful, but I don’t know how to use them or if they’re effective for severe cases like mine. Another question I have is about dietary adjustments. Are there foods I should avoid completely, like spicy or fried items, and what foods can actually help reduce the symptoms of GERD? Some articles suggest eating cooling foods like coconut water and cucumbers, but I’m not sure if that’s enough to balance Pitta over the long term. Lastly, I’ve seen mentions of lifestyle changes in Ayurveda, like avoiding heavy meals at night or practicing yoga for digestion. How important are these changes in curing GERD permanently? Are there specific yoga poses or pranayama techniques that can help with GERD? If anyone has experience or advice on how to cure GERD permanently in Ayurveda, I’d love to hear what worked for you. Are there particular herbs, diets, or therapies that made a lasting difference?
