can karavanda fruit help with my constant acidity and indigestion? - #2226

Anonymously

For the past year, I’ve been struggling with severe acidity and indigestion issues. No matter what I eat—even simple, non-spicy food—I get this burning sensation in my chest and a lot of discomfort. I’ve tried all sorts of antacids and digestive enzymes, but nothing seems to give lasting relief. A relative suggested I try including karavanda (they call it “wild Indian berry”) in my diet. Apparently, it’s used in Ayurveda for digestion. I don’t have much experience with these traditional remedies though. How effective is karavanda for managing chronic acidity? Should I be eating it raw, or is there a better way to consume it for these symptoms?

Doctors’ responses

Karavanda (Carissa carandas), or wild Indian berry, is used in Ayurveda for digestive health, particularly to reduce acidity and improve digestion. It has anti-inflammatory and cooling properties, making it beneficial for managing symptoms like burning sensations and indigestion. It helps balance excess acidity, especially related to the Pitta dosha. For consumption, karavanda can be eaten raw, though it’s sour and might not be pleasant for everyone. It’s more commonly consumed as juice, powder, or in Ayurvedic formulations mixed with honey or other herbs for better taste and efficacy. To get the best results, consider consulting an Ayurvedic Doctor for personalized recommendations.
