Oesophagus - #18650
For the past few months, I have been experiencing an unusual discomfort in my throat. It feels like there’s something stuck in my oesophagus, especially after eating. Sometimes, I also have mild chest pain and occasional heartburn. Initially, I thought it was just acidity, but even after taking antacids, the sensation persists. A few weeks ago, I visited a doctor, and they mentioned that it could be related to my oesophagus—maybe acid reflux or some kind of inflammation. They recommended further tests, but before going ahead with allopathy, I wanted to understand if Ayurveda has a different perspective on this. From what I’ve read, the oesophagus is responsible for carrying food from the mouth to the stomach, and any issues with it can lead to difficulty swallowing, irritation, or even serious conditions like GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Ayurveda talks about Pitta imbalance causing acidity—could that be affecting my oesophagus as well? Are there any Ayurvedic remedies or dietary changes that can help strengthen the oesophagus and prevent this discomfort? I’ve heard that licorice (Yashtimadhu) and aloe vera juice are good for soothing the digestive tract—can they help heal the oesophagus too? Also, are there any specific foods that I should avoid to prevent irritation in the oesophagus? I tend to eat spicy and fried food often—could that be worsening my condition? Would adopting a Pitta-pacifying diet be beneficial? Lastly, are there any Ayurvedic therapies, such as oil pulling or herbal decoctions, that can support oesophagus health? Since this discomfort is persistent, I want to find a long-term, natural solution before relying on medication.

Oesophagus - #19620
Lately, I’ve been having some discomfort in my chest and throat, and after visiting my doctor, I was told that it could be related to issues with my oesophagus. I’ve been dealing with acid reflux for a while now, but recently, the discomfort has worsened. I often feel a burning sensation in my chest and sometimes even in my throat. The symptoms tend to get worse after meals, especially if I’ve eaten something spicy or greasy. I’ve also noticed that I have difficulty swallowing certain foods, and sometimes, I feel like food is getting stuck in my oesophagus, which is really uncomfortable. I was prescribed some medications to help manage the acid reflux, but I don’t want to depend on medication long-term. I’ve heard that Ayurveda can offer natural remedies that could help improve digestive health and reduce the strain on the oesophagus, so I wanted to ask if there’s something I can do to support my oesophagus and relieve the discomfort I’m feeling. Are there any Ayurvedic herbs that are known to soothe the oesophagus and improve digestion? I’ve heard of herbs like licorice and ginger being helpful for digestive health, but I’m not sure if they’re right for my condition. Can Ayurveda help with balancing the acidity in the stomach and supporting the function of the oesophagus, especially in cases like mine where the acid reflux seems to be causing irritation? I’ve also been trying to make some changes to my diet to help manage my condition, but I’m not sure what foods I should avoid or incorporate to support my oesophagus. Are there specific Ayurvedic foods or drinks that could help reduce inflammation in the oesophagus and promote better digestion overall? I’ve heard that drinking warm water or herbal teas can be soothing, but I’m looking for more targeted advice. Lastly, I’ve been feeling stressed recently, and I’ve heard that stress can make digestive problems worse. Does Ayurveda offer any techniques or practices, like yoga or meditation, that can help reduce stress and improve digestion? I’m hoping to find a holistic approach to managing my oesophagus issues and improving my overall well-being.
