For hyperacidity relief, Ayurvedic tablets like "Amla" or "Avipattikar Churna" are often recommended. These tablets typically contain ingredients such as Amla (Indian gooseberry), which balances pH levels and soothes the stomach lining, along with herbs like Trikatu (a combination of Ginger, Black Pepper, and Long Pepper) that help regulate digestive fire (Agni) and aid in digestion. They work by neutralizing excess stomach acid and reducing symptoms like heartburn, bloating, and gas. These tablets can be taken as needed, typically during flare-ups, but for regular management, it's better to focus on dietary and lifestyle changes. It's important to avoid excessive use of these tablets, as long-term reliance could disrupt the body's natural digestive processes. Along with tablets, managing hyperacidity requires dietary changes like reducing spicy, oily, and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and drinking plenty of water. Lifestyle changes such as stress management, regular exercise, and avoiding late-night meals can also help prevent acid reflux. For people with sensitive digestion, it’s essential to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure the tablets are appropriate, as some herbs may cause irritation in specific individuals.
