Shankar’s APD(Amlapittantak) Syrup is formulated specifically to address acidity and related digestive issues from an Ayurvedic perspective, targeting symptoms like heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux. It’s designed to balance the pitta dosha, which when aggravated, often manifests as excess stomach acid and discomfort. Hritaki, triphala, licorice, and guduchi are some key herbs in the formulation, helping to soothe the digestive system, support agni (digestive fire), and relieve inflammation.
In terms of effectiveness, many have shared positive outcomes using this syrup for similar symptoms. It helps neutralize acidity without the side effects some may experience from allopathic medications. However, responses can vary, and it may take some time to see noticeable improvements. It’s generally considered safe with infrequent reports of mild side effects like stomach upset or a minor laxative effect; always start with a smaller dose to assess your body’s response.
For improved results, use the syrup as directed, typically after meals, and consider dietary modifications to minimize pitta-aggravating foods like spicy, oily, or overly acidic dishes. Also, try eating meals at regular intervals and chew thoroughly to reduce digestive workload.
Addressing lifestyle habits also supports relief from acidity. Incorporate practices like not lying down immediately after eating, maintaining stress with yoga or meditation, and staying hydrated with lukewarm water.
If symptoms persist despite these interventions, seek a detailed consultation with an Ayurvedic specialist to explore personalized treatment options. For severe cases or sudden symptom escalation, immediate medical attention becomes crucial. Always align Ayurvedic use with healthcare guidance to ensure the best outcomes.
