is pitta and acidity same - #25401
I am really confused about this whole thing with pitta and acidity. A few weeks ago, I started feeling this burning sensation in my stomach, which I thought was just acid reflux or something. I went to my doctor, and he mentioned it could be related to pitta dosha being out of balance? Like, okay... but I don’t totally get how that works. I mean, I’ve heard from friends that acidity is a common issue, but is pitta and acidity same? They keep saying to eat cooler foods, skip spicy stuff, and I’ve even tried some herbal teas but still feel off, like fluctuating between sometimes being ok and really uncomfortable. Is this whole pitta thing just an Ayurveda concept, or is there a real link to what I’m feeling? Should I be watching my diet more closely or doing something else to help balance it, you think? Any advice would be super helpful!
