Acid reflux and ulcers are often signs of aggravated Pitta dosha in Ayurveda, leading to excess heat in the digestive system. To address this at the root, it's important to balance Pitta through diet, lifestyle changes, and herbal remedies. Begin by avoiding spicy, sour, and acidic foods that can worsen Pitta, and instead focus on cooling, soothing foods such as cucumber, coconut water, and cooling herbs like coriander and fennel. Drinking Amla (Indian gooseberry) juice or Aloe vera juice daily can help heal ulcers and soothe the stomach lining. Avipattikar Churna before meals is excellent for reducing acid production and regulating digestion. For restless sleep, taking Shatavari or Guduchi can help balance Pitta and calm the mind, improving sleep quality. Additionally, try practicing Abhyanga (oil massage) with cooling oils like Coconut or Brahmi oil before bed, along with daily yoga or meditation to reduce stress, which can contribute to acid reflux. Long-term, following a Pitta-pacifying lifestyle with regular meals and a focus on cooling herbs and practices can reduce the need for antacids and restore digestive balance naturally.

Ah, dealing with acid reflux and ulcers, that's gotta be tough. Especially if it's messing up your sleep, I totally get that. Let's try to give you some Ayurvedic insights which might help to ease off those symptoms.
First off, acid reflux often relates to a pitta dosha imbalance – heat and acidity getting all fired up. We need to pacify this heat. So, a few dietary tweaks could make a real difference. Try sticking to more cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and melon. And cut down on spicy, oily, and fried stuff, as tempting as they are. Avoiding citrus and tomatoes may help too, since they can ramp up acidity.
Another thing, eating at regular intervals is vital, believe it or not – your agni (digestive fire) loves routine. Aim for smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones that can overwhelm you. And definitely don't skip meals, that can actually make things worse.
Drinking some herbal teas like chamomille or slippery elm might soothe your stomach lining and ease symptoms. But try to avoid food right before bed. Finish up at least 2–3 hours prior to sleep. When you sleep, elevating your head with an extra pillow could stop that acid from creeping up, giving you some peaceful snooze time.
Herbs such as licorice, Brahmi, or Amla could provide support, but do consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for the right formulation and dosage, especially as you're on other medicuations.
Lastly, stress contributes massively, no surprise there. Daily meditation or pranayama can be beneficial. Even small practices, like a few minutes of deep breathing, can have a calming effect.
Remember, changing lifestyle habits takes time, so be patient with yourself. It's okay if progress feels slow, hang in there. And always keep your primary doctor in the loop about any new practices you’re trying alongside their treatment. Safety first, you know?
