This looks like hyperacidity or inflammation of the upper GIT. To alleviate the burning sensation from the liver to the stomach and the metallic taste in your mouth, consider the following:

Dietary Changes Avoid Irritating Foods: Eliminate spicy, acidic, and fried foods. Increase Hydration: Drink plenty of water. Soothing Foods: Eat bananas, oatmeal, rice, and boiled potatoes. Herbal Teas: Drink chamomile or ginger tea to soothe the digestive system. Ayurvedic Remedies Triphala: Take with warm water before bed to support digestion. Aloe Vera Juice: Dilute with water to reduce inflammation. Ginger: Fresh ginger tea can aid digestion. Fennel Seeds: Chew or drink fennel tea to reduce bitterness. Lifestyle Adjustments Eat Smaller Meals: This can prevent excessive stomach acid. Stay Upright After Eating: Remain upright for 2-3 hours post-meal. Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques like meditation. When to Seek Help If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

The burning sensation from the liver to the stomach, along with a metallic taste and bitterness in the mouth, may indicate an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which can lead to issues such as gastritis or acid reflux. To alleviate these symptoms, consider taking Amla (Indian gooseberry), which helps to balance Pitta and soothe the stomach lining. Additionally, Triphala can aid in digestion and detoxification, while Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) may help reduce the burning sensation and bitterness. Incorporating cooling foods into your diet, such as cucumber and coconut water, can also provide relief. It’s important to avoid spicy and acidic foods that can aggravate your condition. For more tailored guidance, please share if you have any other symptoms, such as nausea or changes in appetite.

It sounds like you’re dealing with a bustling imbalance in your body, characterized by that liver-to-stomach burning and that bitterness – quite unpleasant. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this might be linked to aggravated Pitta dosha, the dosha that governs metabolism and heat, leading to excess digestive fire (agni).

Here’s some practical, no-fuss advice. First, let’s tackle that diet, because it’s crucial. Load up on cooling, Pitta-pacifying foods. Favor fruits like melons, apples, and pears. Cucumber or zucchini could work wonders. Similarly, reduce intake of spicy, fried, or very sour foods – they might be potent and delicious but they’ll only fan the flames here!

Stay hydrated! Sip on coconut water and aloe vera juice, known for their cooling properties. Aloe vera can be especially soothing; around 10-20 ml of aloe vera juice in the morning might calm that internal burn. Just be sure it suits your body, as aloe doesn’t get along with everyone.

Then maybe give some herbal buddies a go. Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) and neem have cooling effects; what if you tried a guduchi supplement after consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner or doctor? At the same time, it might not be the silver bullet for everyone.

Let’s not forget about lifestyle changes, crucial too. Stress can heat up Pitta, so engage in calming practices like yoga or meditation—these can help cool your mind as well as your body. Sleep schedule matters too, so catch regular, restful Z’s preferably before 10 pm to align with natural rhythms.

Now caution’s necessary: If these sensations persist or are extremely troubling, don’t dabble only in self-care. Persistent metallic tastes or severe internal burning might hint at something big, like GERD or liver issues, so maybe it’s wise to see a healthcare provider, pronto. You wanna rule out anything serious, right?

Keep experimenting gently with these tips, but always mind your body’s unique responses. Ayurveda’s all about balance and adjusting to what your body tells you.
