Hello Siva kumar,
Thank you for sharing your mother’s details. She is 60 years old with:
Hyperacidity (sometimes on empty stomach, sometimes after meals) with right-sided headache.
Wheezing problem – especially early morning & at night, worse in summer, rainy season & winter.
No constipation, bloating, or reflux → so not a classical Pitta–Ama indigestion, but Pitta aggravation + Vata–Kapha involvement in lungs (leading to wheeze).
🔍 Likely Nidana (Root cause)
1. Hyperacidity + Headache → Pitta prakopa (excess stomach acid rises upward, causing Shirahshoola – headache). 2. Wheezing → Vata–Kapha imbalance in Pranavaha srotas (respiratory channels). Often linked to seasonal change + weak lung strength (Pranavata imbalance).
💊 Internal Medicine (Ayurveda)
For Hyperacidity + Headache
1. Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily (reduces Pitta, acidity, burning). 2. Kamdugdha Ras (with Mukta Shukti) – 1 tab twice daily with water (excellent for acidity + headache). 3. Sutshekhar Ras – 1 tab morning and evening after food (balances acid secretion, relieves Pitta headache).
For Wheezing / Early morning breathing difficulty
1. Sitopaladi Churna – 2 g with honey twice daily (respiratory support, anti-Kapha). 2. Kantakari Avaleha – 1 tsp twice daily (helps reduce wheezing, strengthens lungs). 3. Chandraprabha Vati – 1 tab twice daily after meals (balances Vata–Kapha, reduces wheezing episodes).
🌿 Panchakarma Therapy (if feasible)
1.Virechana (purgation therapy) – for long-term Pitta balance (acidity + headache). 2.Vamana (therapeutic emesis) – if wheezing is chronic & Kapha-dominant (done only under expert supervision). 3.Nasya (Anu Taila) – 2 drops in each nostril in morning (prevents wheezing & sinus triggers).
🥗 Diet & Lifestyle
Pathya (Recommended):
1.Warm, freshly cooked, light food. 2.Cumin + coriander seed tea after meals. 3.Cow’s milk (lukewarm, not cold). 4.Soaked raisins (5–10 daily). 5.Small, frequent meals – avoid long gaps (for acidity).
Apathya (Avoid):
1.Spicy, sour, deep-fried foods. 2.Excess tea, coffee, pickles. 3.Cold drinks, ice creams (increase Kapha, trigger wheezing). 4.Late-night meals.
🧘♀️ Yoga & Lifestyle
For Hyperacidity & Headache
1.Vajrasana (after meals – improves digestion). 2.Shavasana (relaxes nerves, reduces Pitta headaches). 3.Sheetali Pranayama (cooling breath – balances Pitta).
For Wheezing & Breathlessness
1.Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing, 10 min). 2.Bhramari (humming bee breath, calming lungs & anxiety). 3.Gentle chest opening asanas: Bhujangasana, Matsyasana.
🌸 With Kind Regards
This approach will: ✅ Balance acidity & reduce right-sided headaches ✅ Strengthen digestion without creating reflux or constipation ✅ Improve lung function, reduce wheezing & seasonal triggers ✅ Enhance overall vitality at her age

Hyperacidity, right-side headaches, and wheezing are complex health issues that require a detailed and personalized approach. In Ayurveda, these symptoms are often associated with imbalances of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Hyperacidity (Amlapitta): This condition is primarily linked to an aggravation of Pitta dosha. Pitta is responsible for digestion and metabolism. When it’s imbalanced, it leads to an increase in heat and acidity in the body, causing symptoms like a burning sensation, sour taste in the mouth, and indigestion. Headache: The right-side headache could be related to various factors in Ayurveda, often connected to imbalances in Pitta or Vata dosha. A Pitta-type headache might be characterized by a burning or throbbing pain, while a Vata-type headache might be more migratory or pulsating. Wheezing (Shwasa): Wheezing is generally attributed to an imbalance of Kapha and Vata doshas, affecting the respiratory system. Kapha imbalance can lead to the accumulation of mucus, causing congestion and wheezing, especially in the morning. Vata imbalance can cause constriction of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing. Ayurvedic Approach Ayurvedic treatment for these conditions aims to restore the balance of the doshas through a holistic approach that includes diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies. Dietary Recommendations (Aahara): For Hyperacidity: Avoid Pitta-aggravating foods like spicy, sour, and fried foods. Favor a diet rich in cooling and soothing foods such as fresh fruits, green vegetables, and bitter-tasting foods. Include a lot of water and fresh fruit juices (non-citrus). Eat regular meals and avoid long gaps between meals. For Wheezing: Avoid Kapha-aggravating foods like dairy products, cold foods, and excessive sweets. Consume warm, light, and easy-to-digest foods. Use spices like ginger, black pepper, and turmeric in cooking, as they help to reduce Kapha. Lifestyle Modifications (Vihara): Regular Routine (Dinacharya): Follow a consistent daily routine for meals, sleep, and exercise.
Stress Management: Practice yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation to reduce stress, which can aggravate both acidity and respiratory issues.
Yoga: Specific asanas like Vajrasana, Bhujangasana, and Paschimottanasana can be beneficial for digestion and respiratory health.
Pranayama: Practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and Bhramari (bee breathing) can help in balancing Vata and clearing the respiratory passages.
Herbal Remedies (Aushadhi): Ayurvedic practitioners may recommend specific herbs and formulations to address the root cause of the symptoms. Some commonly used herbs include:
For Hyperacidity: Amla (Indian Gooseberry), Shatavari, Licorice (Yashtimadhu), and Cumin (Jeeraka). For Wheezing: Vasa (Malabar Nut), Tulsi (Holy Basil), Pippali (Long Pepper), and Haridra (Turmeric).
Treatment 1) kamdugha rasa 250 mg before food with ghee 3 times
2) Avipattikar churna- 3 gm before food with milk 3 times a day
3) bhunimbadi kashaya 20 ml before food 3 times

The stomach and head are connected in Ayurveda through pitta, which governs digestion and sharpness in the body. When pitta becomes too much, it can move upwards and cause headache, burning eyes or even irritabiity
This condition is called Amla pitta in Ayurveda
2) WHEEZING (early morning and night) She also suffers from wheezing- a whistling sound while breathing especially in -early morning -night and -all season summer, rainy, winter This shows a chronic issue where Kapha dosha (mucus, heaviness, cold) is mixing with vata dosha (movement, dryness), leading to a blockage in lungs and throat. This is known as TAMAKA SHWASA in Ayurveda, which is similar to bronchial asthma or chronic wheezing

Hyper acidity in your mother’s case can be attributed to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, often aggravated by factors such as specific food intake, stress, or irregular eating patterns. Since she experiences acidity on an empty stomach as well as after eating, it’s important to manage meal timings carefully. Encourage her to eat smaller meals at regular intervals, avoid long gaps between meals. Foods that are spicy, the oily, or very sour should be avoided as they might worsen acidity.
For immediate relief from acidity, she can consume a glass of lukewarm water mixed with a teaspoon of honey. This can help neutralize the excess acids and provides relief. Chewing on fennel seeds after meals can also aid digestion and reduce Pitta’s intensity. Including cooling foods like cucumber and coconut water in her diet can be beneficial. Trusted herbs like Amla (Indian gooseberry) will support digestion and balance Pitta levels.
Regarding the right-side headache, this might be linked to her Pitta imbalance or possibly related to Vata imbalance too. Applying a cooling paste of sandalwood powder mixed with water on the forehead can prove soothing. Practicing Pranayama and yoga, specifically focusing on calming the mind and balancing energies, could also reduce headache frequency.
Her morning and nighttime wheezing, which is more persistent and seasonal, indicates Kapha-Vata imbalance. Having herbal tea prepared with Tulsi (Holy Basil), ginger, and black pepper can help alleviate respiratory issues, reducing phlegm accumulation. Practicing steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil might further ease her breathing during these times.
During changing seasons, ensure her environment indoors is warm and the air isn’t dry. Opt for light, digestible meals devoid of excess dairy. Prioritize seeking medical advice if her wheezing becomes severe, especially alongside the migraines as it may require immediate attention.
The symptoms your mother is experiencing suggest an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, contributing to hyperacidity and headaches, and perhaps an imbalance in Kapha dosha leading to wheezing. Let’s address each aspect step by step.
For hyperacidity and right-side headaches, it’s essential to pacify the aggravated Pitta dosha. This can be done by avoiding spicy, oily, and fried foods. Instead, focus on incorporating cooling and soothing foods like cucumber, melons, and leafy greens. Drink coconut water and buttermilk regularly, as these can be grounding and balancing for Pitta. One must prioritize a regular eating schedule, avoiding long gaps between meals which can exacerbate acidity. Drinking a glass of warm water with half a teaspoon of licorice powder before meals may help reduce acidity and protect the stomach lining.
The wheezing seems connected to an imbalanced Kapha, possibly aggravated by seasonal changes, as you noted they occur in summer, rainy and winter. Encouraging practices like steam inhalation with eucalyptus oil may help open up the air passages. Daily inhalation in the morning and night could potentially ease wheezing symptoms. Consider a herbal remedy like Tulsi-ginger tea, consumed twice daily. They have both have warming properties that counteract kapha accumulation.
Monitor her exposure to known allergens and environmental triggers, and ensure her living environment is free from dust and dampness.
If there are chronic headaches or the wheezing intensifies, it’s crucial to consult a health professional to exclude any other underlying causes. Ayurveda can support the underlying doshic imbalances, but a broader medical evaluation may be needed to ensure there isn’t a more serious condition developing.
