Chronic acidity and mandagni, or sluggish digestion, can be troublesome but Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to restore balance and improve digestive health. It's good to know your tests came back normal, as this allows us to focus on lifestyle and dietary changes, along with herbal remedies.

To begin with, understand that acidity often indicates an imbalance in the pitta dosha, the dosha associated with fire and metabolism. You need to cool and soothe the pitta to alleviate acidity. Start by incorporating cooling foods into your diet. Favor sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes found in foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Avoid hot, spicy, oily, and fried foods which aggravate pitta. Eat at regular intervals but avoid overeating.

Hydration plays a crucial role. Sip on warm water throughout the day to aid digestion and eliminate toxins. Consider consuming an infusion of cumin, coriander and fennel seeds. Boil these seeds in water, strain, and drink the warm liquid. This helps in soothing the digestive tract and reducing pitta.

Mindful eating is key. Eat in a calm environment, paying attention to the act of eating itself. Avoid distractions, such as watching TV or using electronic devices during meals. Chewing food thoroughly before swallowing aids digestion considerably.

Practices like yoga and pranayama also support digestive health. Spend 20 minutes daily on gentle postures such as Pawanmuktasana (Wind Releasing Pose) and Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Spinal Twist). They encourage free flow of stomach acids and strengthen abdominal organs.

Herbal remedies could be supportive. A traditional preparation like amalaki (Indian gooseberry) is known to balance pitta while enhancing digestion. Triphala, a combination of three fruits, supports digestive health and aids in reducing acidity by toning the digestive tract.

Routine is important. Try to wake up and go to bed at consistent times, aiming for a minimum of 7-8 hours of restful sleep each night. Manage stress through meditation or simple breathing exercises to balance your doshas and enhance agni, the digestive fire.

It's essential to make these changes gradually and observe how your body responds. Since each individual is unique in Ayurveda, keep noting any positive shifts in your symptoms. If your symptoms persist, consider consulting an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your constitution and condition.
