What Is the Best GERD Treatment in Ayurveda, and How Does It Help Relieve Symptoms? - #12070

Anonymously

I’ve been dealing with GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) for a while, and I’m looking for natural remedies. What is the best GERD treatment in Ayurveda, and how does it help relieve symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chronic cough? From what I understand, GERD is caused by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. What Ayurvedic treatments are effective for managing GERD and restoring balance to the digestive system? I’ve heard that Amla, Licorice, and Turmeric can help reduce acidity and soothe the digestive tract. How do these herbs work to calm the stomach and promote better digestion? What other Ayurvedic practices, such as dietary modifications or Panchakarma therapies, can help prevent GERD symptoms from recurring and improve overall digestive health? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions to consider when using Ayurvedic treatments for GERD, especially for people with chronic acidity or esophageal issues?

In Ayurveda, GERD is often linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, particularly the excessive heat in the digestive system, which leads to acid reflux. Ayurvedic remedies focus on soothing the digestive fire, cooling inflammation, and restoring balance. Herbs like Amla, Licorice, and Turmeric are commonly used to manage GERD. Amla helps balance Pitta and supports the digestive system by reducing acidity. Licorice has a soothing effect on the stomach lining and helps protect against acid reflux. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can calm the digestive tract and reduce heartburn. Dietary modifications, such as avoiding spicy, oily, and acidic foods, are important in preventing GERD symptoms. Incorporating cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut, and milk can help soothe the stomach. Panchakarma therapies, such as Virechana (therapeutic purgation) and Abhyanga (oil massage), can help detoxify the body and balance digestion. It’s important to use these treatments under professional guidance, as excessive use of certain herbs, like Licorice, may cause side effects, especially for those with high blood pressure or chronic acidity.
