What are the common causes of hyperacidity, and how can they be addressed through Ayurveda? - #11364

I’ve been experiencing frequent episodes of hyperacidity, with symptoms like a burning sensation in the chest, bloating, and occasional nausea. While medications help temporarily, I want to understand the cause of hyperacidity and how it can be treated naturally, particularly through Ayurveda. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda attributes hyperacidity to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body. Are there specific triggers, like spicy foods, irregular eating habits, or stress, that exacerbate this condition? How can one identify if hyperacidity is related to lifestyle or underlying health issues? I’m also curious about how Ayurveda addresses the root causes of hyperacidity. Does following a Pitta-pacifying diet, including cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and amla, help reduce symptoms? Are there specific herbal remedies, like Avipattikar Churna or mulethi, that can balance the digestive fire and provide relief? Another question I have is about long-term prevention. Does Ayurveda recommend particular daily practices, such as drinking warm water in the morning or practicing yoga, to prevent hyperacidity from recurring? Lastly, how effective are Ayurvedic treatments compared to conventional medicines for managing chronic hyperacidity? If anyone has insights into the cause of hyperacidity and how Ayurveda can help, I’d love to hear your suggestions and experiences. Any tips on identifying triggers and making lifestyle changes would also be greatly appreciated.
