It sounds like you’re dealing with issues related to acid reflux, or possibly a condition like dyspepsia, which is making your daily life uncomfortable. In Ayurveda, this condition could be related to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs heat and transformation processes, including digestion. Let’s explore some practical Ayurvedic recommendations for you.

Firstly, consider your diet. Avoid spicy, oily, and overly fermented foods, as these can aggravate Pitta and worsen symptoms. Instead, favor foods that are cooling and calming for the digestive system. Include items like cucumbers, mint, coriander, and seasonal fruits. Lightly cooked vegetables like zucchini and ash gourd can be particularly soothing. Try to eat at regular intervals to maintain balance in digestive fire, or agni, but avoid overeating at any meal.

Drinking a glass of lukewarm water with a teaspoon of aloe vera juice in the morning can help soothe the digestive tract. You may also consider preparing a herbal tea with cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds, which can sipped throughout the day. Just add a teaspoon of each to a liter of water, bring it to boil, and simmer for 10 minutes before straining.

Regarding lifestyle, practicing mindful eating is crucial. Take time to sit while you eat, chew slowly, and avoid distractions like television or work. Stress can exacerbate your symptoms, try engaging in relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation for 15-20 minutes a day.

Physical activity can also help. Gentle yoga poses such as Vajrasana, which aid digestion, can be practiced after meals. Avoid lying down immediately after eating as this can increase acid reflux; rather remain upright for at least 30-45 minutes.

Finally, please monitor your symptoms closely. If they persist or worsen, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to rule out any serious conditions requiring immediate attention. Ayurveda offers many supportive measures, but it’s essential to emphasis on safety first.
