HELLO GENASEE,
Hyperacidity means excess acid production in the stomach, which causes burning, sour belching, and discomfort
In Ayurveda, this condition is known as Amla pitta Amla= sour Pitta= the digestive fire (heat, bile)
When the pitta dosha gets aggravated due to wrong food or stress, it mixes with digestive juices and becomes excessiley acidic. This acid irritates the stomach lining and sometimes flows upward into food pipe (causing heartburn or reflux)
COMMON CAUSES -skipping meals or eating at irregular times -eating too sicy, oily, or fried foods -excess tea, coffee , alcohol, smoking -stress, anger, and anxiety -prolonged fasting or dieting -excessive use of painkillers -late night eating, sleeping late
SYMPTOMS -burning in stomach, chest or throat -sour/bitter belching -nausea, vomiting- sometimes sour or yellow -loss of appetite, or heaviness -feeling of heat, thirst, irritability -In chronic cases- ulcer like pain, fatigue, bad taste in mouth
TREATMENT GOALS Ayurveda treats the root cause, not just symptoms -pacify aggravatd pitta dosha -protect and heat stomach lining -normalize digestion -remove ama (toxins) -balance emotional stress -strengthen the gut mucosa

For addressing hyperacidity, Ayurveda offers several herbs that can balance stomach acid production, reduce inflammation, and protect the stomach lining, enhancing overall digestive health. One key herb is Amla (Emblica officinalis), rich in Vitamin C. Amla improves gastric health by balancing excess acid and aiding the digestive process. It can be consumed as a juice in the morning, approximately 20-30ml on an empty stomach.
Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is another beneficial herb for soothing inflammation in the stomach lining. It promotes mucin production, which helps protect the stomach from acid. You might prepare a tea by boiling 1-2 inches of licorice root in water for about 10 minutes. Drink this once or twice a day, but remember licorice can have side effects like raising blood pressure. Use with caution if you have hypertension.
Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra) is known for its mucilaginous properties that can coat the stomach lining, offering relief from heartburn and acid reflux. Mix one teaspoon of slippery elm powder with warm water and drink before meals. Its soothing quality helps to form a protective layer over the stomach lining.
Triphala, an ancient herbal blend, can balance digestive agni (fire) and alleviate symptoms of hyperacidity. Consuming Triphala powder, about 500mg to 1g, with warm water before bed can support digestion.
Lastly, Ginger (Zingiber officinale) serves as an excellent digestive aid. It modulates stomach acid production and reduces inflammation. A cup of ginger tea, made from a few slices of fresh ginger boiled in water, can be consumed daily.
Remember, individual prakriti (constitution) and dosha imbalances should be considered. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner if you experience significant symptoms or before starting any new remedy to ensure they align with your unique health requirements. Always balance natural treatments with professional medical advice, especially if symptoms persist or worsen.
Hyperacidity, or excess stomach acid, can be managed with several herbs that are well-aligned with the principles of Siddha-Ayurvedic medicine. First, let’s consider herbs that help reduce the overproduction of acid. Amla, or Indian Gooseberry, is renowned for balancing stomach acid while boosting digestive strength without aggravating acidity. Take Amla as a powder mixed with warm water on an empty stomach in the morning.
For reducing inflammation in the stomach lining, licorice root can be effective. Licorice has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it useful for calming irritated mucosa. Prepare a tea by simmering a small piece of licorice in water and consume after meals.
To help coat the stomach and mitigate heartburn, slippery elm is beneficial. It provides a mucilaginous texture that protects the stomach lining. Mix a teaspoon of slippery elm powder in warm water and drink before meals.
Additionally, fennel seeds can assist in cooling and preventing acid reflux. Chew a teaspoon of fennel seeds after meals to help reduce symptoms of acidity. For overall digestive health, including balancing agni (digestive fire) and managing vata-pitta imbalances, ginger can be incorporated. However, ginger might not suit everyone with hyperacidity, so introduce it cautiously.
Remember, if symptoms are severe or chronic, it’s vital to seek immediate medical attention. Persistent or worsening symptoms could require more than just herbs, and it’s crucial not to delay diagnosis or treatment of more serious underlying conditions.
