What Are the Symptoms of Acidity, and How Can I Get Long-Term Relief Naturally? - #15667
For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing frequent acidity symptoms, including burning in my chest, bloating, and a sour taste in my mouth. It usually gets worse after eating spicy or oily foods, but sometimes it happens even when I haven’t eaten much. I know that acidity is caused by excess stomach acid, but what triggers it? Could stress, irregular eating habits, or even dehydration make it worse? Also, how do I know if it’s just acidity or something more serious like GERD (acid reflux disease)? Since I want to avoid long-term medication, I started researching Ayurveda’s approach to acidity symptoms. I read that Pitta imbalance leads to excessive heat in the stomach, which can cause heartburn and indigestion. Are there Ayurvedic remedies that can naturally cool the digestive system and provide lasting relief? I found that Amla, fennel seeds, and licorice root are often used—has anyone tried these for acidity? Another thing I’m curious about is whether sleeping position affects acidity symptoms. Should I be sleeping on my left side, using a higher pillow, or avoiding lying down after meals? For those who have struggled with chronic acidity, what has helped you manage it? Did you change your diet, take herbal treatments, or follow specific lifestyle habits? I’d love to hear real experiences on what actually works.
