Ayurveda attributes a burning sensation in the throat and acidity to an imbalance of Pitta dosha, specifically an increase of Amla Guna (sour quality). This can lead to a condition known as Amlapitta, which is analogous to acid reflux or GERD. Even after conventional treatment for H. pylori, the underlying Pitta imbalance may persist, causing a continuation of symptoms.
Ayurvedic Perspective on H. pylori and Acidity From an Ayurvedic standpoint, a bacterial infection like H. pylori is often seen as a symptom of a deeper imbalance. The Pitta dosha, which governs digestion and metabolism, can become aggravated due to factors like stress, improper diet (excessive spicy, sour, or fermented foods), and irregular eating habits. This aggravated Pitta can compromise the digestive fire (Agni), creating a favorable environment for pathogens to thrive. The burning sensation you’re experiencing is a classic symptom of heightened Pitta, as its inherent qualities are hot and sharp. The continuous acidity further indicates that the Amla Guna (sourness) of Pitta is not being neutralized. Conventional medicines may address the bacteria, but they might not fully correct the root Pitta imbalance, which is why the symptoms persist.
Recommended Ayurvedic Remedies An Ayurvedic approach would focus on pacifying Pitta dosha to reduce the heat and sourness in the body. Here are some recommendations: Dietary Adjustments (Pitta-Pacifying Diet): Avoid: Spicy, oily, sour, and fermented foods. This includes citrus fruits, tomatoes, yogurt, and pickled items. Include: Bitter and astringent foods, which help to cool the body. Examples are leafy greens, bitter gourd, cucumbers, and pomegranates. Herbs: Licorice Root (Yashtimadhu): This is a powerful herb for soothing the stomach and throat. It has a cooling effect and helps to heal the mucosal lining. A small amount can be chewed or a powder mixed with water.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): Rich in Vitamin C, Amla has a cooling effect and is known to balance all three doshas, especially Pitta. It can be taken as a powder or a fresh fruit.
Shatavari: A renowned herb for women’s health, it also has a strong cooling and soothing effect on the digestive system, helping to reduce burning sensations. Coriander and Fennel: These seeds can be soaked in water overnight and consumed in the morning. They are known for their cooling properties and ability to aid digestion. Lifestyle Changes: Stress Management: Stress significantly increases Pitta. Practicing mindfulness, meditation, or gentle yoga can be very beneficial. Regular Meals: Eat at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals, which can lead to an increase in stomach acid. Hydration: Drink plenty of room-temperature water throughout the day. Avoid ice-cold water as it can dampen the digestive fire. 1.) Kamadugha-250mg before food 3 times with ghee
2.) Avantika Churna-3gm before food 3 times with milk
3.) Bhunimbadi kashaya-20ml - before food 3 times
Mulethi kwath-1 tsp with 400 ml water boil until it remains 100 ml filter and drink twice daily on empty stomach Drink CCF tea daily Avipattikara churna-1/2 tsp before meals with water Triphala churna-1 tsp with warm water at night Avoid spicy sour non veg food Avoid sleeping immy after taking food Take early light dinner Drink buttermilk with roasted cumin powder with pinch of rock salt
Hello Bharathi,
Thank you for sharing your condition. You are experiencing burning sensation in throat and acidity, one month after testing H. pylori positive. You completed the prescribed antibiotics but still feel discomfort. You are on Rabeprazole, but symptoms persist.
Likely Nidana:
1.Agnimandya (weak digestive fire) → improper digestion → acid reflux. 2.Pitta-Vata aggravation → burning sensation in throat and chest. 3.Residual H. pylori effects / gut dysbiosis → ongoing irritation.
🔍 Recommended Investigations
1. Upper GI Endoscopy – to check for esophagitis, gastritis, or residual infection. 2. H. pylori stool antigen / breath test – to confirm eradication. 3. CBC, LFT – for overall health and monitoring medication effects. 4. Serum vitamin B12 – long-term PPI use may reduce absorption.
💊 Internal Medicine
Phase 1 – Agni deepana & Pitta-shamana (2 weeks)
1. Guduchi kwatha – 40 ml before meals, twice daily (healing & immunity). 2. Avipattikar churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night (acid neutralization). 3. Shankha bhasma + Giloy kwath – 1 tab + 20 ml twice daily (acid reflux & gastritis).
Phase 2 – Gastric mucosa support & gut balance (next 4 weeks)
1. Kamadudha rasa – 2 tabs after meals, twice daily (acid control).
2. Licorice (Yashtimadhu) powder – 1/2 tsp with honey, twice daily (soothes throat). 3. Triphala churna – 1 g at night with warm water (digestion & gut detox).
🌿 External & Lifestyle Support
1.Avoid lying down immediately after meals – wait at least 2 hours. 2.Small frequent meals rather than heavy meals. 3.Elevate head of bed slightly to prevent nocturnal acid reflux. 4.Warm water sipping throughout day – helps neutralize acid.
🥗 Diet & Lifestyle
Pathya (Recommended):
1. Warm, cooked meals – khichdi, dal, steamed vegetables. 2. Soaked almonds, chia seeds – for gut mucosa support. 3. Fennel seeds or cumin water after meals – aids digestion. 4. Fresh fruits (non-citrus) – banana, papaya, pomegranate.
Apathya (Avoid):
1. Spicy, oily, fried, or fast foods. 2. Coffee, tea, alcohol, and carbonated drinks. 3. Excess citrus and tomato-based foods. 4. Late-night heavy meals or overeating.
🧘♀️ Yoga & Lifestyle
1. Gentle asanas: Vajrasana (after meals), Bhujangasana, Ardha Matsyendrasana (improves digestion). 2. Pranayama: Anulom Vilom 10 min daily (calms Vata-Pitta, reduces acidity). 3. Avoid stress – meditation or deep breathing to reduce gastric hyperacidity. 4. Regular sleep cycle (10 pm–6 am) – essential for digestive healing.
🌸 With Kind Regards
With consistent care addressing Agni, Pitta, and residual H. pylori irritation, your acid reflux, throat burning, and gut discomfort will gradually reduce. Gentle diet, herbal support, and lifestyle modifications are key for long-term relief.

Hello Bharathi ji,
I can understand your concern regarding gastric issues. Your burning throat & acidity after H. pylori treatment suggest that your stomach lining is still sensitive and not fully healed. Even after antibiotics and Rabeprazole, many people continue to feel symptoms because digestion fire (Agni) remains weak.but dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT-
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
1 Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with lukewarm water, twice daily before meals. (Excellent for acidity & throat burn).
2 Amalaki Rasayan – 1 tsp daily morning with honey (natural antacid, strengthens gut.)
3. Acidonil 2-0-2 after food
4 Dadimadi ghrita 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm. Water (heals stomach lining)
✅DIET MODIFICATION
✅ INCLUDE: soft rice, moong dal khichdi boiled vegetables, coconut water soaked raisins ghee in small amounts daily
❌ Avoid spicy/oily foods, tea, coffee sour foods (pickle, tomato, tamarind) late-night eating.
👉 Take small frequent meals instead of large meals.
✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
➡️Never sleep immediately after meals. ➡️Do Sheetali Pranayama (cooling breathing) 5 min twice a day for acidity. ➡️Sit in Vajrasana for 5–10 min after meals – improves digestion.
your acidity is not just H. pylori, but also sensitive stomach lining + Pitta imbalance.
👉 Within 3–4 weeks, you should notice less burning and more comfort. With consistent care, the stomach lining can completely heal, preventing recurrence.
Wish you a good health😊
