Managing chronic conditions such as acid reflux, duodenitis, and fatty liver involves a comprehensive approach integrating Ayurvedic principles with lifestyle modifications. Let’s delve into some strategies.

In Ayurveda, acid reflux and similar conditions are often linked with aggravated Pitta dosha, which controls the body’s metabolism and digestive processes. When Pitta is imbalanced, it can lead to excessive stomach acid production causing issues like heartburn, indigestion, and other gastrointestinal discomforts. Given your symptoms, it’s important to adopt a Pitta-pacifying diet and lifestyle.

Dietary modifications are crucial. Prefer meals that are cooling, light, and easy to digest. Include foods like cucumber, pumpkin, zucchini, ghee, and coconut water, which are known to pacify Pitta. Avoid foods that are spicy, fried, and fermented as they could exacerbate the symptoms. Eating small, regular meals and ensuring that dinner is light and early in the evening can prevent nighttime reflux.

Herbal remedies can play a beneficial role. Licorice root (Yashtimadhu) might help soothe and heal the digestive tract. Amla (Indian gooseberry) is another excellent option; its cooling properties can balance Pitta. Alongside, Triphala, a combination of three fruits, could aid in digestion and liver health, acting as a mild cleanser.

For lifestyle, Practice stress-reduction techniques such as yoga and meditation — these can help manage anxiety and depression, often linked with chronic digestive disorders. They also aid in calming the mind and balancing emotions, which is paramount given the interconnectedness of mental and physical health.

Focusing on non-restrictive, comfortable clothing especially around the waist can alleviate pressure on your stomach, reducing reflux occurrences. Elevating the head of your bed a few inches may prevent night-time symptoms too.

Regarding anxiety and depression, a continuous pranayama practice could support mental clarity and relaxation. Taking deep, slow breaths can nourish your body with oxygen, calming your nervous system. Avoid late-night browsing or stressful content before bed, encourageign a restful sleep.

Lastly, for fatty liver, regular exercise influences metabolic rates positively. Kapi-Punya or morning sun exposure can improve digestion and stimulate metabolic activity. Always, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes, especially considering your medical history.

Seek professional medical advice for conditions that need immediate attention, and don’t substitute this guidance for personalized medical counsel.
