What is GERD treatment in Ayurveda, and how can it help in managing acid reflux naturally? - #12418

I’ve been struggling with GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) for a while, and I’m looking for natural treatments to manage it without relying on long-term use of medications. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers effective remedies for acid reflux, but I’m not sure what specific treatments are available. How does Ayurveda approach the treatment of GERD and acid reflux, and what herbs or therapies are best for treating this condition naturally? What are the best Ayurvedic remedies for GERD and acid reflux? I’ve heard that Licorice root, Amla (Indian gooseberry), and Turmeric are commonly used in Ayurvedic treatments for digestive issues. How do these herbs help in soothing the stomach lining, reducing acid production, and improving digestion? I also came across the use of Fennel seeds, Cumin, and Ginger in Ayurveda for improving digestion and reducing bloating and heartburn. How do these herbs support healthy digestion and help balance Pitta dosha, which is associated with acid reflux and inflammation? Additionally, what lifestyle changes are recommended in Ayurveda for managing GERD? Should I avoid heavy meals, spicy foods, or alcohol, and instead focus on eating small, frequent meals and foods that are easy to digest? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions when using Ayurvedic remedies for GERD? Can these remedies interact with other medications or cause any digestive discomfort if not used properly? If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies to manage GERD or acid reflux, I’d love to hear about your experience. What treatments worked best for you, and how long did it take to notice improvements? Looking forward to your insights!
