Hi Pritam, How long have you been experiencing nausea, acidity, and burning sensations? Do you have bloating, belching, or excessive thirst? Have you had an H. pylori test or any ultrasound of the abdomen? Do you feel stressed or anxious, as stress can aggravate acidity? Do you consume tea, coffee, or processed foods frequently?

Based on Ayurveda, your symptoms suggest an imbalance in Pitta dosha (excess heat in the body). Avoid spicy, oily, and fermented foods. Instead, have cooling and alkaline foods like coconut water, soaked almonds, and fennel tea. Ayurvedic remedies include:

Avipattikar Churna – ½ teaspoon with warm water before meals for acidity relief.
Amla juice or powder – to soothe the stomach lining and cool the body.
Guduchi (Giloy) and Yashtimadhu (Licorice) tea – to reduce burning sensations.

Dr. M.Sushma · Answer

Avipattikara churna 1/2 tsp once daily before food

Take food in proper time, never skip your breakfast, don't drink water when you feels hungry, whenever u feel hungry take solid food instead of normal water
Avoid spicy food, red chilly, instead of red or green chilly u can use black pepper
 Proper food habits , sleep along with medication u will get relief from symptoms

Dr. Swathimutthu Prasad B N · Answer

Hello Pritam,

To understand your condition better, I need to know how long you have been experiencing these symptoms and at what time of the day they tend to worsen. Have you noticed any specific foods that trigger the pain? Is your digestion functioning well, and how are your bowel habits—any burning sensation before or after bowel movements? Additionally, do you engage in stress eating, or do you frequently consume tea or coffee multiple times a day? Are you working night shifts? Based on your symptoms, it seems to be a Pitta predominant imbalance
Try the following simple steps:
 Maintain proper hydration throughout the day. Have buttermilk once daily for better digestion. 
Choose fresh-cut fruits over juices for maximum nutrients.
 Soak 1-2 pieces of almond gum overnight, and in the morning, mix it with normal water; you can also add chia seeds and drink it for added benefits
Banana & Almonds – Eating a ripe banana or a few  Soaked almonds helps ease acidity
Avoid Triggers – Reduce spicy, deep-fried, and processed foods; avoid excessive tea, coffee, and carbonated drinks.
Early Dinner – Have your last meal at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to prevent acid reflux.
Try these Pranayama - 4 to 5 times in a day 
 Sheetali Pranayama (Cooling Breath)
Sheetkari Pranayama (Hissing Breath)
Anulom Vilom (Alternate Nostril Breathing)

Dr. Ayush Varma · Answer

Sounds like you've been having a rough time with the hyperacidity. Those kind of symptoms can really mess with your day, huh? Even if all tests came back normal, there are still some Ayurvedic ways we can try to help manage the symptoms.

First off, it sounds like there's a Pitta imbalance, which is common when there's too much heat or acid in the system. Simplifying your diet a bit can help - avoiding spicy, oily, or very sour foods would be a good start. Stick to cooling foods like cucumber or melon, try having them as a snack when you start feeling the burn. Cooking with cooling spices like coriander and fennel can also help balance the Pitta dosha.

On an empty stomach, that rough sensation can be hard to deal with. Try starting your day with a soothing drink like a glass of warm water with a bit of honey and ginger. It's both gentle and calming on the tummy. While ginger is usually warming, in small amounts it actually helps settle nausea and stimulates digestion.

Lifestyle-wise, try avoiding stress triggers; sometimes, stress exacerbates acidity. Practicing deep breathing exercises or some basic yoga can help maintain that inner calm. Even setting aside a few minutes daily for mindful meditation can balance things out.

Sometimes, making small adjustments can have more effect than we realize, like eating smaller meals frequently rather than large meals. Give your agni, or digestive fire, something it can easily handle, rather than overwhelming it.

But hey, be cautious tho'. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's best to consult directly with your healthcare provider. Stay safe and take care.
