Hello Deepak, Your symptoms suggest Pitta and Vata imbalance, causing acid reflux, gas, and headaches after rich food intake. Avoid spicy, fried, and heavy meals and prefer light, easily digestible foods like moong dal khichdi and steamed vegetables. General line of treatment is this- Take Tab Kamdudha 1-1-1 before meals. Take Avipattikar Churna (1 tsp with warm water before meals) to control acidity and Arogyavardhini Vati (1 tablet twice daily) for liver health. Drink coriander-fennel tea after meals to soothe digestion. Headaches from acidity can be relieved by applying sandalwood or rosewater paste on the forehead. Do you also experience bloating, burping, or bitter taste in the mouth? Regular yoga, pranayama (Sheetali, Nadi Shodhana), and early dinner will help prevent these symptoms. Let me know if you need further support!

Are you taking any other medications besides Rosuvas F10 for cholesterol management, and how well is your cholesterol being controlled? Have you had any tests to assess your gastric or digestive health (such as an endoscopy or ultrasound)? From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms are likely due to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs digestion and metabolism. Pitta imbalances can lead to excessive acid production, indigestion, and headaches. Moreover, Vata imbalances may contribute to gas and bloating. Ayurveda recommends calming and balancing both Pitta and Vata to address these issues. For immediate relief, Triphala is a great herb for digestion and detoxification. It helps soothe acidity, improve bowel movements, and support overall digestive health. Ajwain (Carom seeds) and Hing (Asafoetida) can help reduce gas and bloating. Shatavari is beneficial for soothing the digestive tract and can reduce acidity. Amla (Indian gooseberry) can help regulate acid levels and soothe the stomach lining. Additionally, Turmeric and Ginger are both excellent for reducing inflammation and supporting digestion. Chandraprabha Vati or Avipattikar Churna can be taken for digestive discomfort and acidity. For your diet, avoid excessively spicy, oily, and rich foods. Favor a Pitta-pacifying diet with cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, and coconut. Drinking plenty of water with a pinch of cumin or fennel seeds can help support digestion and reduce acidity. A consistent eating schedule and avoiding overeating are also important.
