What should I know about GERD treatment in Ayurveda when other remedies haven't worked? - #21825
I am really struggling here. For the past year, I've been dealing with this awful heartburn and reflux, it's been suuuper annoying! I've tried every over-the-counter medicine you can imagine, but they just don’t seem to help. Someone mentioned GERD treatment in Ayurveda, but honestly, I know very little about it. I mean, do you think it could actually work? So, yeah, I've been having these episodes like almost every single night, sometimes it keeps me up! I feel like I’ve been living on antacids, and the thought of it is just exhausting. It's not exactly the life I envisioned, right? Eating is such a joy, but I can't enjoy meals anymore, I'm always thinking about how it's gonna hurt later. I started keeping a food diary – you know, trying to figure out my triggers. It looks like tomatoes, spicy food, and even chocolate make it worse! Who woulda thought, right? Oh, and then there’s the hiccups! Sometimes I feel like I'm just choking on acid, it’s seriously not a vibe. Then, a friend of mine was talking about GERD treatment in Ayurveda, and I'm curious if it could be a real solution. She said they focus on balancing the doshas and that herbs and diet change can really make a difference. Has anyone had any success with this? Like, what should I consider? I have this preeetty busy schedule; I’m constantly juggling work and family, so I'm worried about finding time for complex treatments or long routines. I don't know – do I really have to change everything all at once? Also, how do I even start? I guess I’m looking for simple tips or even just some insight on what GERD treatment in Ayurveda entails. I wanna get rid of this pain once and for all. If you have any suggestions or advice, that would be awesome. Thanks for reading this chaotic message! I just really want to feel normal again and enjoy food without anxiety. It's frustrating, ya know? Hoping to hear from anyone who’s been there, done that with this whole GERD treatment in Ayurveda thing! What worked for you? Thanks soooo much!
