Doctors’ responses
Do you also experience heartburn, bloating, or excessive thirst? How is your sleep and digestion after meals? Ashwagandharishta is good for strength and stamina but may increase Pitta (heat) in a hyperacidity-prone body. Instead, take Ashwagandha Churna (1 tsp) with milk at bedtime after two hours of dinner. For energy and digestion, use yashtimadhu + Shatavari Churna (1 tsp) with water in the morning. Avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods. Drink coconut water and Amla juice for cooling. Let me know if symptoms persist.
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Since you have a hyperacidity body type, it’s essential to consider that Ashwagandharishtam, while known for its rejuvenating and strength-building properties, can sometimes aggravate Pitta in individuals prone to acidity, especially if taken in excess or without proper dietary adjustments.
To better understand your condition, I would ask about your eating habits (e.g., consumption of spicy, oily, or sour foods), stress levels, sleep quality, and whether you experience any digestive issues (e.g., bloating, constipation, or irregular bowel movements). Additionally, any history of frequent heartburn, acid reflux, or a sensitivity to certain foods would be valuable to know.
Hey, sounds like you’re trying to juggle a few things at once! Hyperacidity can be super annoying, especially when you’re trying to keep up with sports. Here’s a bit of what might help: First off, hyperacidity in Ayurveda is often linked with an excess of Pitta dosha, which can kinda mess with your digestive fire (agni). This might be why you’re feeling that energy drop.
Ashwagandharishta is generally great for boosting energy and is an adaptogen, helping manage stress. But it’s important to balance it out, since it has heating properties that might not be ideal for hyperacidity. Yeah, a lil’ contradiction there! You might consider starting it in small amounts and observe how your body reacts. If things heat up even more (figuratively and literally!), consider reducing or stopping it. Always a good idea to have it diluted with equal parts of water.
Diet-wise, stay clear of spicy, oily, and fried foods, or anything too sour. Incorporate cooling foods like cucumber, melon, mint, coconut water, and plenty of greens. Avoid eating heavy meals late at night. Gold rule for Pitta balance.
Also, include some practices like regular exercise but not too intense, cause that might aggravate the Pitta too. Maybe, mindfullness or calming yoga can help!
Oh! and hydration—super important! Sip on some water throughout the day, but not too cold. Seriously, it helps balance out the heat in your system.
Listening to your body is crucial, so if something feels off, don’t push it. If the energy levels don’t pick up or the acidity becomes a bigger issue, definitely consider speaking to a local Ayurvedic consultant or a healthcare pro to delve deeper into your unique needs. Sometimes the root cause needs a bit more digging. Take those steps, and hopefully, you’ll be back on your game soon!
